Given that this iconic restaurant has reopened in Hong Kong, we decided it was a must-visit for my friend’s birthday.

Given that this iconic restaurant has reopened in Hong Kong, we decided it was a must-visit for my friend’s birthday. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and we tried several signature dishes. Although none of them wowed me, they met expectations given their prices.
🥂Escargot $208
Served with garlic parsley butter and creamed potatoes, the escargot had a sour flavor that I didn’t enjoy, though the mashed potatoes were very creamy.
🥂Foie Gras Terrine $238
The foie gras was paired well with spiced pineapple jam and toasted brioche, which made it lighter and more appetizing.
🥂Rossini Beef Fillet $778
Topped with foie gras, Madeira Demi-glace, and black truffle sauce, this beef fillet was thick, flavorful, and the highlight of the night for me.
🥂Chicken Supreme ‘Kiev’ $238
Despite the garlic herb butter and creamy potatoes, the chicken was a bit dry. Given that it’s a signature dish, I expected more.
🥂Sautéed Seasonal Vegetables $80
🥂Baked Alaska $268
For dessert, we had the Baked Alaska, which was flambéed at the table. The pistachio and cherry ice cream inside was good, but the pistachio flavor was quite faint. The Italian meringue coating was too rich, making it hard to finish.

The restaurant’s history, ambiance, and service were all commendable, but I’m unsure if I’d return just for the food.
