Not my first time to dine in Duck & Waffle as my first try was in London which was definitely a wonderful dining experience. Ever since its arrival in HK, I’ve always had a strong urge to visit the restaurant again. Good news is....they tried to keep as much interior design as that in the UK but the greatest attraction - a panoramic view of skyscrapers across the business hub - is absent. I totally understand that high rental price in Hong Kong makes for the difficulty in running a
Good news is....they tried to keep as much interior design as that in the UK but the greatest attraction - a panoramic view of skyscrapers across the business hub - is absent. I totally understand that high rental price in Hong Kong makes for the difficulty in running a business, yet it’s still a pity that customers’ dining experience is lacking in something.
As a high-end restaurant, surprisingly, it allows dress code other than just formal attire. And the service charge was reasonable as we sat there and enjoyed our dinner as long as we could. I remember there was a time limit of the duration of dining, luckily, we picked a right time slot this time. So I’d say it’s more like a chill-out than a very serious dinner.
It’s still worthy of going anyway but CAST AWAY YOUR WISHFUl THINKING THAT THE OPENRICE DISCOUNT ON SET MENU IS FOR TWO PEOPLE. I didn’t meant that the proportion is too small (it’s actually fair enough), but if you go for the discount, all people in this table are in, and so no sharing of set menu or separate ordering of out-of-set-menu dish, unfortunately.
That’s why I would have so much to share about the food, my boyfriend and I each ordered one set and we both think that it was too much for us.
“Tomato dip with crackers” is a dish of nice snack to go. Fresh and light, no extra amount of ingredients which will stuff your stomach so quickly in the beginning. Sorry for not taking pictures

(For starters) The proportion was smaller and it tasted average relative to the above dish.

(Main dish) This was impressive since the duck was justly roasted! The one I had in London was kind of overcooked. Beside, I also like the waffle, crispy and buttery.

(Main dish) By its appearance, frankly, it was not as attractive as Duck & Waffle. But surprisingly, it’s actually good as the sea bass soaked up some of the tasty (a bit oily though) sauce with meat slices and green peas. Plus, the proportion was a bit large.

(Desserts) Normally, my stomach is always ready for sweet food but not this time. The previous dish has already stuffed our stomach to an extent that we had to miss the macaroon sandwich the ice cream in the middle tasted sour and stimulated my stomach though.

(Desserts) I love the creative idea of adding black sesame into the dessert to make it more “eastern” without losing the original flavours of toffee pudding. Finally not eating chocolate in my dessert but still being able to taste the sweetness
Final word: a very worthy set dinner but the food maybe too much for just one person. Luckily, we could enjoyed the dinner to the fullest without time restrictions. If only the view could be more impressive....
