I have been to La Vache quite a few times in the past but not for the past year and half.  While the crowds have swelled, unfortunately the management has fallen into the trap of cutting corners.

I have been to La Vache quite a few times in the past but not for the past year and half.  While the crowds have swelled, unfortunately the management has fallen into the trap of cutting corners. The price is now $298 for salad, steak and unlimited fries.  Crusty bread with butter was served as you are settling  in. A simple salad with toasted walnut comes next, which is pretty decent. Thankfully, the dressing on the salad was just right and it felt pretty light and fresh.  However, I was disappointed with the steak. The steak had no marbling whatsoever and was tiny (~150g?).  The steak was done perfectly medium rare, but it tasted very much like a cheaper beef variety (NZ?). Probably they got it from the wet market down the hill. 
 On a positive note, the quality of  fries remained top notch and perfectly salted. I had to fill myself up with fries as the steak went pretty quickly. 
Many HK restaurants, once they  get established, the management starts to cut corners. Sadly La Vache has fallen into the same trap. The vibe is still good but the quality of meal has gone downhill.
