Restaurant: il Bel Paese
Info:

To promote a new salt and sugar reduction (RSS) dietary culture and living style to the people of Hong Kong, the Environment and Ecology Bureau, the Committee on Reduction of Salt and Sugar in Food and the Centre for Food Safety of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department have launched the "Less-Salt-and-Sugar Restaurants Scheme" ("Scheme"). Restaurants participated in the Scheme will offer less salt or sugar options to the consumer or even tailor-make less salt or sugar dishes in designated restaurants. Participating restaurants will be granted with the Scheme Labels for displaying in the premises for public identification.

Steadily dropping value and quality

Have been a regular customer of il Bel Paese for more than 5 years, always love it until recently.I'm not sure if there's a new owner took over the business, but I just suddenly noticed a lot of differences compare with my last visit (2 months ago) and mostly are all negative:- They are charging 18HKD per person for STILL WATER! it is insane. It used to be free. And is feels just absurd to charge people for tap water. So if 5 person dine in they charge you 18*5 = 90 for still water, plus proport

Have been a regular customer of il Bel Paese for more than 5 years, always love it until recently.
I'm not sure if there's a new owner took over the business, but I just suddenly noticed a lot of differences compare with my last visit (2 months ago) and mostly are all negative:
- They are charging 18HKD per person for STILL WATER! it is insane. It used to be free. And is feels just absurd to charge people for tap water. So if 5 person dine in they charge you 18*5 = 90 for still water, plus proportional service fee.
- Rib eye beef steak becomes smaller. 300 gram now compare with 450 gram in the past.
- Pre-dinner bread is 50% less.
- The quality of tomato being used in salad is bad.
In a nutshell, the value of meal has dropped sharply, I'm not sure what the restaurant is thinking. Maybe they are just trying to figure way out to counter inflation. But I feel it is going too crazy on cutting food proportion or making money from just water.
