Called in here for dinner and was very pleasantly surprised. As it was attached to a bakery I thought the food served in the restaurant would be casual food based on bakery items, but not at all! I choose the Salmon tartar and what was presented was a delight to look at it and tasted delicious.

I choose the Salmon tartar and what was presented was a delight to look at it and tasted delicious. It was lightly dressed with a delicate dressing that didn't distract from the smoked salmon flavour, simply augmented it. For main I choose the rack of lamb and was pleasantly surprised when asked how I wanted my lamb cooked, I wasn't expecting that level of detail ! And when it came it was cooked perfectly, just a little red just as requested. The restaurant manager who served us told me it was Australian lamb, succulent and delicious with mustard infused mash potatoes. Being a bit of a vegetable freak I would have preferred a few more vegetables on my plate but that's me!
Given that I had previously had the Lemon Tart from the bakery (come on that must be the best Lemon Tart in Hong Kong!!!) I opted for the Apple Tart. Not much to say about that, it was good, nothing extraordinary but good.
My colleague had the Mushroom Soup and the Risotto and complimented on both. We indulged in a fairly expensive bottle of wine (Fleurie 2009), so our total bill was somewhat inflated, but the cost for the food, and that quality of food, seemed to me to be very good value.
I also went back with a bag of bread from the bakery at the end of the evening .... couldn't resist! (Try the orange bread!)
