Isono Eatery & Bar (已結業)

多次到訪、位於 PMQ 主打西班牙菜的 Isono；吃過它的午餐、下午茶，卻沒有吃過 Tapas，實在說不過去。因此早前一連兩次到訪，平日關係食客不多，每次都坐得很舒服！老實講，這裡 Tapas 沒有午餐／下午茶的美味驚艷，但如此悠閒寫意的環境下，啤酒 $18起，Tapas 只是 $32起，真心好超值！飲品方面，一般紅白酒只 $40/杯，西班牙汽酒 CAVA 也不過 $48/杯，每杯 125ml，無論是兩口子來靜靜談情，或相約友好來風花雪月，都是一流選擇。兩次到訪，甜魔媽媽成功掃餐牌，下面就是食物細則、價錢及推介度（5星為滿分）。是的，多款小吃中，較偏愛香脆的 Toast 類！Traditional Onion & Potato Tortilla ($32) ****Borlotti Bean Salad w/ Red Onion, Veal Tendon & Chives ($35) ***Stewed Pork Ear w/ Toast ($38) ***Crispy Chicken w/ Lemon Alioli ($38) ***Patatas Bravas ($45) ***

However familiar I am towards PMQ as the building often appears in my daily work, it was my first visit to the casual subset of the double-decked Mediterranean eatery, Isono. Being a novice in Mediterranean cuisine, I am still learning what exactly Basque cuisine is, but in a simpler form and what exactly Isono serves, is a mixture of Spanish, French and Italian cuisine.Vasco, the fine-dining part of the double-decked eatery, serves truly Basque cuisine - Basque is in fact along the border of Fr

休閒的星期日，與友人到這家位於中環PMQ的Bar享用午餐，沒有訂座但亦不需要等候，服務員很nice很funny, 加上環境很relax, 食物賣相吸引，味道有驚喜！面包外脆內軟，可配醋+油，但因為我比較喜歡牛油，簡單的配牛油已經很不錯這個湯真的非常驚喜，creamy soup加上squid粒味道跟口感都一流豬手配薯蓉，豬手很軟很juicy, 正！三文魚配什菜甜品亦是一絕，必食！

這日我們整個下午在中上環一帶逛逛，回家前就先在附近吃個casual light dinner吧。記起PMQ內的Isono Eatery & Bar，便過來吃吃tapas飲杯酒～Isono的tapas menu上12款，定價由＄32起，最貴的一款才＄68。啤酒＄18至＄28，紅白酒＄40杯，西班牙cava汽酒＄48杯，幾乎與在西班牙的價錢一樣。以香港這地段來說，這裡的定價真是很親民呢。我們先點杯Cava ($48)，清新的果香refresh一下心情與味蕾 大家共選了6款tapas，當中我較喜歡是traditional onion & potato tortilla ($32)和crispy chicken with lemon alioli ($38)。Tortila西班牙薯仔洋蔥蛋餅，濕潤軟嫩，味道香甜，淨吃或是伴麵包也很美味。炸雞塊炸得外層香脆而內裡啖啖juicy雞肉，推介給愛吃香口食物的朋友。Cod croquettes ($65)炸鱈魚球內裡做得相當creamy軟滑，只是外層的炸粉皮稍厚和韌，要扣點分。食感層次豐富的清新冷盤borlotti bean salad with re

最近都落著雨，加上復活節前的工作量，大得令人難以負荷。在中環吃完越南菜後，冒著雨也要來到PMQ，型格的裝潢設計下，再喝一杯Sangria，才有動力辛勞後再繼續工作。Isona的裝潢包含工業設計風格，尤其bar格最為型格。 我叫了一杯sangria，想不到十分滿意。杯底有粒粒的水果，士多啤梨、橙、蘋果等等還混入了一點點比較高濃度的酒，令到after taste 後不會只有水果紅酒的甜味，兩者平衡得剛剛好。 朋友剛叫了他最愛的Apple martini。三重味道！呷一小口，不要急著嚥下去。會試到先有vodka強烈的酒精味道，然後會有Oliver 的香味，最後酒精味道揮發，只剩下甘香。 這樣便完美開始了我的復活節假期。

好久不見的美女表妹某日傳來whatsapp ，嚷著要約我吃好東西。指定要有肉有酒而且環境漂亮，我問她來過Isono嗎？就在PMQ。她反問我PMQ在那？哈哈，好我就帶妳去一趟吧。下午2點的ISONO被漂亮日光包圍，金屬和大玻璃反射著光線，溫暖而不刺眼。我們被安排坐在高椅區域，這裡提供的menu和正餐區不一樣。新推出的Tapas Menu（Link: http://www.isono.com.hk/downloads/Isono_tapas_flie... ）內容豐富多元，$32就可以吃到，價錢吸睛，不知份量如何？先拿一杯冰白酒 $40/Glass，手指停不了地在menu上一直點～XDCrispy Chicken w/ Lemon Alioli $38第一道來的是吉列炸雞塊，香脆不乾柴，搭配檸檬蛋黃醬，好吃極了。Traditional Onion & Potato Tortilla $32西班牙蛋餅混入炒香的馬鈴薯及洋蔥粒，紮實的口感帶一點濕潤。雖然拍起來不大，其實份量十足，是我覺得CP值最高之一。Stewed Pork Ear w/ Toast $38燉得軟Q的豬耳朵經過輕輕火灼，香氣撲

上帝創造阿當夏娃時，賦予兩性不一樣的思維結構，讓男女之間充滿著趣味，可是這種差異有時也會變成災難！口是心非嘮嘮叨叨沒完沒了一向少說話的男性，基於上述的體驗，無奈何地癥結出「女人永遠是對的」潛規則，正所謂「好男不與女鬥」，寧願享受多一分的安寧！適逢三八婦女節，老公跟我撐檯腳去，到訪位處 PMQ元創方 的「Isono」，證實女人其實不可怕！PMQ元創方 前身為荷李活道警察宿舍，後來被活化成為創意中心，吸引不少本地創意藝術工作室進駐，當然少不了一些具質素的餐廳帶動人流，「Isono」是其中之一！首次來到「Isono」，隨即感受到空間寛廣，裝潢時尚富格調，更有切合不同需要而設計的座位和房間，用餐環境舒適愜意！ 老公和我也喜歡較為 Causal 的氣氛，坐到高檯與開放式廚房遙遙相對，感覺不錯！體貼的侍應先為我們送上麵包條和冰水，天氣真的有點熱！「Isono」最近推出新的 Tapas Menu 系列，細看一下，發現每款餐酒、啤酒和 Tapas 才三十至五十多元不等，如此優惠的價格實在令人驚訝，今晚不只是「食平 DD」，簡直是「食平 4D」，又替老公省荷包了！我們第一回合要來的白酒與三款 Tapas

HAPPY FRIDAY從來都得遵從慢活人得好好享受的一天，尤其LUNCH是個不得不重視的假日前奏。位於PMQ HOLLYWOOD六、七樓的一級西班牙菜是2016的首試項目，聽聞由西班牙米芝蓮兩星餐廳RESTAURANTE LASARTE的行政總廚PAOLO CASAGRANDE掌舵，主打的是西班牙巴斯克美食，不過百聞若不一試就是當下的廢噏，於是跟飯腳們用了信用咭優惠，到ISONO享用了2 COURSE午餐。餐廳地方裝潢精緻，時代感、層次感都很好，燈飾以柔和橙色為主，中廳兩層打通，由元創方走入室內，份外體會到設計者的空間無間限，音樂很有情調。英文餐單分別有套餐或單點，選擇性都有很多，但今次我們只限於優惠，所以試到的只是主流菜色。餐包即時熱送上，可配以OLIVIA OIL或牛油，外層香脆程度可接受，內裡都算鬆軟，味道可以。但由於等候食物時間很長，大概主菜前三十分鐘都會源源不絕送上。GREEN PEA SOUP W/SQUID & SQUID INK青豆湯配以墨魚，字面是有墨魚汁調校味道，賣相綠油油，入口清新、豆味濃郁不油，但飲多幾口有感咸了少許，夾雜的墨魚都彈牙。CHARGRILLED

I was not planning to go to Isono the other night, and in fact I had never even heard of it. But we were hungry, and by the PMQ, and the place we wanted to go was booked solid, so we gave it a go.Isono bills itself as a "Spanish-centric Mediterranean kitchen." From looking around on their website apparently there is a tapas menu available at high tables and the bar, but not the regular dining area. We were not informed of this when we arrived, we were just asked whether we were there for drinks

呢日我由朋友介紹去PMQ元創方處食野，今日是星期日，由於我地未曾來過，我地人行7人一早已預約訂台了，由PMQ門口一入去，就發現好多得意鋪頭，我地一路行一路睇，去到大樓搭lift。原來有專lift, 搭lift 直上就去到了。見到呢間餐廳裝修好靚，由門口去到大堂有個接待處，後面有好似酒吧+梳化既佈置，望落去好舒服。跟住再過一個門口入到餐廳，入面好大，分別好整齊。中間位置係有餐台、有水吧，旁邊有服務台，至於餐廳側面是幾間獨立既VIP Room，VIP 房係有玻璃門，可用作隔音，窗邊可望到對面PMQ另一大樓，又有陽光好正。當我們望住個menu，餐廳預備了好幾款set lunch 比客人揀，有3 course or 4 courses，當然可以另外點菜，但我眼見set lunch 都已經好吸引，由於我地有一班人，所以可以試到好多樣野食。前菜係Parma Ham, 我真係未試餐廳會比甘多Ham係碟上面，好抵食。另一款係油金魚剌身，都幾甜美。跟住來到主菜喇，先講肉碎闊條麵，味道不算太濃，適中ok。跟住就到個海鮮炒飯，呢款菜式係一定要雙位數量的落單才可以，即是2位落單或4位。呢個海鮮炒飯味道一流，不

One of my top rated restaurants from 2015 was Vasco, Spanish fine dining. You can read all about it here in my Top 10 of 2015. While Vasco is the ultimate in fine dining, there is a much more relaxed and casual feel about ISONO, the Spanish style tapas restaurant run by Drawing Room Concepts, the team behind Vasco and numerous other restaurants around Hong Kong.Located on the sixth floor of Soho's very own arts precent, PMQ, ISONO eatery and bar shares many of the same traits as its more disting

Last Christmas has been one of the weirdest one in the past decade in the sense that we have chosen mostly Chinese restaurants to celebrate the occasion. How odd was that! Now that I've realized the horrible mistake, I decided to right the ship and indulge ourselves in something from the Western civilization over New Year.This is my second visit to Isono Eatery and Bar at the ever-popular PMQ and I have a new partner in crime joining me for lunch this afternoon (Yeah my mom).The Modern European

It is always nice to get ourselves with a decent Sunday lunch under this wonderful bright summer. With recent restaurant week promotion and knowing that Isono is offering a 4 course lunch at only $198+10%, I decided give this Spanish restaurant a try.Located at P M Q at Sheung Wan, mounting up to this mid level area was not easy under this sunny weather. When I arrived Isono, I was all sweating. But when the door was opened, its high ceiling and those natural sunlight shining through really amaz

未試過係PMQ搵食,今日同友人去PMQ上麵包班,就趁呢個機會去搵個晏食先~今日揀咗呢間試,我地11:45去到,外籍侍應表示餐廳12:00先開始營業,安排咗我地去餐廳另一邊坐住先,仲比埋餐牌我地睇,無幾耐仲幫我地落order 先,12:00就安排我地入座!服務好細心!我地今日都揀2course set lunch ,我要沙律同羊小腿,友人要湯同三文魚.餐前麵包熱騰騰的,侍應準備了olive oil,麵包細細件好的式,質地係法包類,olive oil 好香果味,係幾唔錯既美道!沙律分量都幾大,可以夠兩個女士食,沙律菜十分新鮮爽脆,仲有車厘茄,佢只係加咗少少油醋,可以食到菜既原味,非常好!Braised lamb shank w/ Mashed potatoes Chorizo chives羊小腿有兩件,舖係薯蓉上面,有切粒既chorizo,成個配合好完美,羊小腿好重羊味,佢個汁我食唔出係咩汁,但好夾個羊,薯蓉好滑,配咸香既chorizo 食,感覺極為良好!友人既三文魚賣相精緻,試咗一口,魚皮香脆,魚肉7成熟左右,絕對值得推介!跟餐附餐茶一杯,點了熱檸水,無甚特別,所以無映相了!係呢個地段呢

生日午餐, 來到這個PMQ 6樓的餐廳6 樓的 Isono 跟7 樓的 Vasco 是同一個集團的, 兩層打通食不同國藉的菜 中午的Isono 沒什麼人, 室內設計型格, 而且樓底好高, 空間感十足, 室外光自然透入是跟朋友在這裡 hea 半天的好去處 但酒吧頂上有一個小閣樓層, 是Vasco 的其中一間包房, 不過我不覺得有多好....沒有落地玻璃隔音, 晚上食飯, 不覺得自成一閣, 反而比7樓其他位置嘈吧?! 餐廳自製的餐前麵包 ,遞上來仍是熱香的。外表有夠脆, 配上他們用精緻的醋同橄欖油食用, 胃口大開了Marinated Scottish Salmon Tartare w/ Beetroot, Cucumber and Yogurt頗欣賞佢地用cucumber and yogurt 打成泡沫, 感覺似份子料理 連紅菜頭, 水果及三文魚食 , 很特別的配合Smoked Duck Breast w/ Apple, Baby Spinach & Cranberry Sauce Cranberry Sauce 可以多一點... 鴨胸是跟蘋果及sauce很夾, 但只有少少的份量真的不夠s
