Cépage (已結業)

好多謝食友嘅邀請, jul 09, 08,10人嚟lunch.............佢哋好有策略...........因有2款menu,以我哋鍾意試嘅心態,就每2人1組,咁就可以2款menu都叫晒,10人共叫咗6個set menu + 4個gourmand menu : 1) bread basket (免費)-當日有3款包,有1款有提子乾..........咁緊喺唔揀啦........但聽食友講,嗰款都好唔錯吓,小小甜甜哋-好彩我最近突破咗食黑橄欖,所以先食呢款-小小嘅正方形,漲卜卜,外脆,內裡質地帶煙韌-入口暖熱,呢個包就微微嘅鹹鹹哋-再伴以由法國嚟嘅牛油食,不錯-之後就最試埋比較穩健嘅白法包片............3款最比較平凡嘅1款 2) amuse bouche, ie welcome appetizer/ snack (免費)-好小巧嘅小吃-面上嘅橙點喺龍蝦膏-唔濃味,只喺包住嘅皮喺醃酸咗 3) 3 courses set lunch (hk$390)i) consomme of langoustine, petit pois, boston lobster torte

I obviously had too much of an expectation from various feedback I rec'd so I thought I should have a try! As it turned out, it was quite disappointing, honestly. Firstly, I did not expect such a small table and most importantly, the table setting were so near to each other that I could overheard other guests' conversations, which I definitely was not my expectation with such a high quality restaurant and with such a price list (avg $2000 pp)!Food quality, in general, was high but I would ex

閏五月初四‧有雨 如在是日之前問我，全港最好的5間頂級法國餐廳是那5間，Cepage是在列的。是晚來吃了一餐晚餐，感覺卻不是想像中好，現在那個第5位，已被L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon所取代了。 這裡的tasting menu一向是我wish list的其中一項，但陰差陽錯地一直找不到時間及機會。是晚得朋友走堂相就，才可成事。第二次來，感覺竟然不比上次來的好。空調不足，又很嘈吵。 侍應拿來餐牌，一早已鎖定吃tasting menu，也不要三心兩意，都要了四道菜的Table D'Hote。 在麵包籃之前，amuse bouche共兩款，分別是吞拿魚魚籽脆筒及炸蝦，前者大家都覺得不錯，後者是吃完也沒有多大印象，也平凡普通得要緊； 吃罷兩道悅口小吃，前菜也來了，是生蠔。吃起來不算creamy，而這裡對蠔也處理得好的，至少是切了帶子位，可以吃得乾手淨腳； 兩道主菜，一味是魚，另一味是肉，魚是煎魔鬼魚鰭，外脆而內裡做持軟滑，甚美味。第二道主菜是鴿肉，分別是烤鴿胸及煎封鴿腿。鴿胸肉是嫣紅色的，切起來已知，質地非常柔軟，很對辦。最後，除了甜品，還有蛋餅及Petits Fours

2009年4月去到門口, 感覺有點似酒店大堂, 與領班確認booking後, 隨即搭lift 上餐廳 ! 一出lift, 餐廳比想像細, 幸好樓底夠高, 不然壓迫感會頗大 !地方吋呎土,以經濟效益應盡量多放幾張table, 亦可理解,而 lift 口已放了3張 table, 當日我就係坐係中間果張 !!頭盤, 主菜, 甜品分別都是3選1, 這天胃口一般, 點了tomato soup, black cod & apple crumble~~ 先來Amuse-bouche , 當日是 melon with ham&grissini, 味道非常清新, 但在Toscana 亦試過同樣的 Amuse-bouche , 味道大家都一樣清甜, 但Toscana 卻保留更多 melon 纖維, 個人更喜歡這個口感, 這裡所做的是幼滑口感, 其實只是這個小小不同之處 !!tomato soup 好清, 看似很淡, 飲落卻比想像好, 湯清帶清甜, 要煮出這樣一個湯真的不是簡單,若湯在客人面前才倒下, 湯碗邊就不會有不夠整結感覺,賣相及效果會更佳 !!主菜是black cod, 因不喜歡 angel

Just went there for dinner with a few friends past Thursday night. I heard a few bad comments before dining there… in fact, overall wasn’t as bad as others said. The service was quite good, except an Asia female waitress who had “black face” all the time. Food quality was quite ok, not the best (my favorite French cuisine is still Gaddis) but pretty ok. We spent like about $1600 per a person for starters, mains, desserts and a bottle of wine. One of my friend had tried their 7 courses tasting me

放假, 正好去吃東西 ~那天中午, 去試新店Cépage ~Starter: Egg pasta tortellini stuffed with ricotta and spinach, Perigord truffle jus, Parmesan cheese fondue ~Main: Grilled Margaret river lamb chop, braised milk-fed lamb belly, pilaf rice, courgette ~Dessert: Champagne and elderflower soup, fresh berries ~tortellini很不錯, 雖只用truffle jus, 但truffle味很出, 份量剛好 ~dessert也很不錯, 賣相優雅, 味道清香, 淡淡champagne味道, 與berries很match ~不好處是門口難停車, 如dress up而來會較不方便 ~

My friend has been telling me how I would love the food at Cepage so finally we booked a table for lunch. I was skeptical about their service before setting foot in the restaurant because of the bad reviews below. However, my experience with their waiters proved to be pleasant. They were very attentive and always answered your questions with a smile. At the end of the day I was actually hoping they'd be less enthusiastic because this waiter kept coming up to me asking me if everything was ok

I finally made by way to Cépage, one of the most talked-about restaurants in town over the last 6 month. The restaurant's pedigree is well-known, so most people have been curious to see whether it lives up to the reputation of its siblings.I arrived to find the dining room much smaller than I expected. This was the space originally taken up by Ingredients, which failed spectacularly in its transformation from a small-time private kitchen to a big-time fine dining establishment. The room was domi

I recently visited this restaurant having heard raving reviews both on the internet and from friends. I was alerted by some openrice.com reviews warning that the service was quite poor for a restaurant of this standard. However, I wanted to try it for myself...I should have listened to the review's advice and stay away.First, lets get the good stuff out of the way:The food is good, comparable to Caprice of the Four Seasons.hotel. This is certainly a good sign as Caprice is one of my favorite

I heard about this new (?) restaurant 2 months ago and wanted a good reason to visit it (given the high price tag). It just so happened that my good epicurean friend/relative from Australia is visiting for a few days, so, I might as well take this opportunity to try it out....The decor in this restaurant actually reminded me of a few contemporary mediterranean restaurants in SF/LA (USA), which I visited last year. The chandelier did look a bit out of place though (comment from my guest).In terms

餐廳是整座3層高的大廈第一層是reception加lounge第二層是2-6人台，有2間獨立房第三層聽說是攪function的大廳洗手間內有L'Occitane的洗手液和hand cream上到第二層一出lift，有張6人sofa，走廊有3張2人台，我地就坐其中一張，感覺不太好，好像是在走廊食飯一樣。台旁邊有張小小的sofa仔，用來放女士的手袋，好體貼。我們的台旁有個大大的花decor，原來整盤都是鮮花來的。頭盤：-溫泉蛋，服務員姐姐話系日本空運來既蛋。蛋旁有點jelly。蛋上有點黑鬆露絲和火腿絲。姐姐介紹mix蛋同jelly來食，果然正！-mushroom cappuccino。很好飲的蘑菇湯（用杯上）。面有一層白色cream。姐姐介紹要一羹到底來食。底的蘑菇湯加蘑菇仔熱辣辣，加埋面過0的cream來食。。。果然！享受超然！-foie gras ravioli，湯的味道似牛肉湯主菜：-pigeon breast。一個大碟上有3小堆食物。1 法國(if I remember correctly)入口的pigeon，很軟很入味，很好食 2 大大塊的鵝肝。有手板0甘大塊，1吋厚。底面都煎得

I NEVER SEEN SUCH A LAUSE FINE DINING RESTAURANT IN HONG KONG EVEN A LOT OF THEM ARE NOT UP TO STANDARD YET. BUT FOR THE NAME AND PRICE THEY CHARGE.. THEY MUST THINK THE HK PEOPEL ARE COUNTRY BOY WHO WILL ONLY BUY THEIR NAME.FIRST, THEY DON'T KNOW THEY SHOULD LET US KNOW IF THEY COULD NOT ARRANGE US IN THE MAIN DINING ROOM WHEN WE BOOKED THE TABLE. I MAY NOT LIKE TO SIT IN THE STUPID LOBBY IN FRONT OF THE LIFT DOOR. THIS IS THE BASIC MANOR FOR ALL THE BETTER PRICE RESTAURANT. I ASKED IF THEY COU

5 of us went to try cepage due to its well known sister restaurant in singapore. overall the food was good, good ingredients and execution but flavour combo/design not exceptional, service was overly attentive in an intrusive kind of way, and decor was comfortable and serene but was not a good use of space. having said all that, there is potential.what's notable (we ordered the $800+ 5 course set menu):- knowledgeable and friendly sommeilier along with it s extensive wine list. we had a coupl

We went there during weekday.Full house and full of celebrities.Fine dining and superb quality of food is promised. We had starters, main courses plus dessert. They were nice. I had lamb rack. Indeed it was like a platter of lamb with roasted lamb rack, deep fried sliced lamb in cutlet style,etc. It was dedicately fresh. But the dish presentation was not appealing. Dessert is a must. Recommended champaign soup. There is room for improvement still. It is the service. With its reputation

一月廿二日。這天來和同事們團年。此店的 info，前文的食家 Gourmet KC 已介紹得相當詳盡。而當日我們到店時，服務員亦相當詳盡的作了同樣的介紹，顯示的確"有做功課"。我們被帶到二樓一間偌大的房間，在香港實在很難想像只八個人可以佔這麼大的房間，同事說那張檯可以坐16人了......雖有點誇張，也不全然失實。餐前小食叫什麼名字已記不起來了，像啫喱的，內裡是一些小塊的海鮮，很開胃。服務員相當細心，見席間有一位孕婦，說這小食不適合，主動換了一款給她，相當細心，值得一讚。 Starter: 我點了 Shellfish ravioli, 我覺得不錯，ravioli 有點 heavy，但lobster bisque 帶輕輕的酸味，又起了中和的作用。而另外幾位同事點的 carpaccio，全都齊聲讚好，有機會再來的話一定要試試了。 main course: char-grilled US prime rib eye and braised beef cheek, rib eye 我要了 medium, 但我感覺 over 了點，不太討好。反而 beef cheek 相當不錯，因為比較"肥美"
