Booked a surprise dinner for hubby for his big day a month ago, the restaurant is called 田舍家 Inakaya; most famous for its Robatayaki. I read a few reviews from Openrice and note that it is going to be quite an experience. But, no no no, when I personally reconfirmed the dinner reservation (yes, I called them instead of waiting for them to call me!) in the morning of my hubby's birthday, the hostess told me, I can either have a window seat with a view or I can have an authentic Robatayaki, but

Booked a surprise dinner for hubby for his big day a month ago, the restaurant is called 田舍家 Inakaya; most famous for its Robatayaki. I read a few reviews from Openrice and note that it is going to be quite an experience.

But, no no no, when I personally reconfirmed the dinner reservation (yes, I called them instead of waiting for them to call me!) in the morning of my hubby's birthday, the hostess told me, I can either have a window seat with a view or I can have an authentic Robatayaki, but it has to be confirmed when I booked, and it is their policy that the one who took my call would have informed me this. Nar, not really, they didn't mention it at all when I called, as such, the start of the bday plan for my hubby was ruined. Finally I decide to try my luck and find alternative.

Luckily, someone has cancelled their reservation at BCN. I heard about it for a while and never manage to go, lately in HK there is a Spanish cuisine hype, but we have been a few of them and not too impressed.

I called and been told that there are only 2 types of menus and I have to decide when I book, the lady sent me via whatsapp the 2 options and I have chosen the Autumn chef's menu which costs HKD695 each. Hence all set and the surprise continues.


Anyways, we walked down a small slope on Peel Street and find this lovely little place, probably less than 12 covers. All seatings are along the bar area. The service was really good, the gentleman who served us used to work in a hotel, very well trained.

Edgar the chef was really friendly as well, tried his best to suggest the Spanish wine for us.

All the food are amazing, you will know why when you see those photos.
Lovely setting
