BISQUE is a newly opened restaurant located at the heart of Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong. All lobsters in the restaurant are from New Brunswick, Canada.

BISQUE is a newly opened restaurant located at the heart of Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong. All lobsters in the restaurant are from New Brunswick, Canada. It seems that Canadian lobsters are bigger size and have tougher and more flavourful meat. The cold climate in Canada is perfect for lobster and the water is likely to be better due to the weather. We had a ease of mind while having these healthy, clean yet super tasty seafood at BISQUE.All the furniture and cutteries are also tailored made with a screen that can be activated between tables to give customers more privacy.
Before digging in some signature dishes, we were lucky enough to try the bubbly, Vincete Gandia - Charlize Theron - Brut Cava, which can only be found at BISQUE in Hong Kong. This champagne has raised a minimum of EURO 525,000 from the sale of this Wine Collection for the 21st Century Leaders, in support of key global development causes-poverty alleviation, environmental conservation and the protection of children.
The champagne glasses were made deeper with narrower bottom, which keeps the bubbles only coming up from the middle. Maybe it is the reason why it tasted so crisp and sharp? Do give it a go as a support for charity and of course it goes well with seafood!
Chilled Cracked Canadian Lobster ClawsThe delicate dish served simply over ice with a chili garlic Cajun remoulade dipping sauce. Four giant claws served on ice can never been better like these ones at BISQUE. Sometimes originality is the best. We could definitely taste the freshness of the lobster meat, which was tender and bouncy.
Mini Lobster SlidersWarm pan toasted slider buns stuffed with butter poached fresh lobster meat and a chili garlic mayonnaise. Who doesn't like sliders, especially these cute lobster mini burgers? The big piece of lobster meat goes well with the mild spicy sauce and the buttery warm buns. One was simply not enough for us and we almost forgot how to say STOP!
Whole Fresh New Brunswick Lobster (approx. 1¾lbs live weight)We have chosen it grilled with fresh herbs and garlic butter. The chef has unveiled that he uses five different fresh herbs with different amount every single time because it depends on what we have ordered before. The one we had were with thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano, and tarragon. The strongest flavour to us was rosemary, and it matched perfectly well with the grilled lobster. We tried it straight up first, then we added some lemon juice, and it brought the dish to a whole new level! The lemon juice awakened another layer of freshness from any seafood. Instantly, the lobster tasted a lot sweeter and fresher! The dish is also garnished with baby potatoes, tomatoes on vines, snap peas, and baby corns, on a bed of spinach leaves.
Chef Nigel Milson Guttridge Chef Nigel has served over 30 years in F&B industry. He has a plethora of experience across the world with a multitude of different cultures, bringing them all together seamlessly in his food. He has been trained in the classical French style in several Michelin Star restaurants in Europe, working alongside the infamous Master Chef Raymond Blanc and Chef Michael Nadell. Some of his previous jobs include cooking for the HRH The Queen Mother & Guests and has been an invitation Chef for the prestigious James Beard Foundation in NYC.
The most attractive thing about this restaurant is the freshness of all ingredients. There are not too many dressing, seasonings, or sauce, instead, the restaurant cares about the original flavour of food. I would consider BISQUE offering very healthy yet elegant meals, a good place to hang out with a group of close friends, enjoying luxurious and share-able dishes.
