Hidden in the boundaries of the Tai Hang food streets comes this quaint, French Restaurant named after the street that it is built on. The interior was very homey and had an open kitchen, as well as a few tables, perfect for small gatherings. For the dinner set, each diner may choose whether they would like a 3-course meal, or a 4-course meal, and I ended up choosing the latter. To begin the meal, I ordered the Conger Boiled Abalone for Starters. The abalones had a bouncy texture, yet it wasn’t
To begin the meal, I ordered the Conger Boiled Abalone for Starters. The abalones had a bouncy texture, yet it wasn’t overly chewy. It was easy on the palate and served as a good dish to open up your appetite as it wasn’t too heavy in flavour, nor was it oily in any sense.

Next came the soup, and I ordered the French Onion Soup, which I was really impressed by. Inside the soup are bits of soaked up bread. Although I don’t normally like to have overly-soaked bread, I thought that the soup itself was rich in flavour. It had bits of cheese in it too, to elevate the taste.

For mains, I ordered their signature dish, the Salmon Confit with White Wine Sauce, and this was honestly my favourite dish of the night. The salmon was slowly cooked, meaning that it managed to maintain its juiciness and its tender texture. The salmon was softer than any other salmon I’ve tried in the past, and I was enthralled by it. Coupled with the white wine sauce and the grilled vegetables, it was a match made in heaven.

Lastly, for dessert, I ordered the cheesecake. It had a good consistency and had a lot of blueberry jam to go with it. It was a nice finish to the meal.

Overall, I was impressed by the fine quality that this restaurant is able to produce. Though it may not be big in size, it certainly made up for it by the immense effort they put into each dish. Everything on the plate had its purpose and I appreciate the intricacy that went into creating these dishes. I absolutely recommend this restaurant to those looking to try French cuisine in Hong Kong.
