I've often wondered what helps a restaurant lose a Michelin Star.

I've often wondered what helps a restaurant lose a Michelin Star. The hard work and dedication that goes into an award winning restaurant is nothing short of hard toil and a fanatical level of detail. After going through the pain and effort to get a star, to lose one must be gut wrenching. But, to lose one, there must be a reason and after visiting L'aLtro in Central Hong Kong, I have a better understanding of how this could happen.

A little bit of research had gone into finding a restaurant in Central that would allow us to grab a bite to eat on the way home from work. We'd found a decent looking spot in one of the many 'restaurant buildings' in Hong Kong, you know the ones, where the first ten to fifteen floors are take up by restaurants. The only problem in the research was that L'aLtro had lost it's Michelin Star in 2015, which on it's own wasn't too shocking, surely it would still be a decent place to eat?

We had an inkling of our answer when we stepped out of the lift to find that the concierge desk empty and a waiter hovering in the dining room, back to the entry just walking aimlessly. It was a little strange and we waited to see how long this state of affairs would last, but after about ninety seconds, the maitre d' arrived with a big smile and asked us if we had a reservation. After confirmation, and a quick exchange in Cantonese with the waiter, we found ourselves led to what was probably the worst table in a completely empty restaurant, right next to a building pylon. We were a bit dismayed and were about to ask for another table, when the maitre d' magically appeared, apologised and offered us a much better table.

We were given a menu to look over, which was quite glittery and high quality, which was the first real sign of the restaurants glory days. Looking through the menu, there were a couple of tasting menus, one from executive chef Philippe Léveillé and one from Chef de Cuisine Mr. Mauro Zacchetti, each looking ok, but neither really grabbing our attention. To my dismay, looking through the menu, there were really not that many items available that excited me and I flipped backward and forward, over and over until I finally decided on what I'd order.

Once we'd placed our orders, our wandering waiter meandered over to our table carrying a couple of dishes that were clearly our amuse bouche for the evening. Our waiter silently and carefully placed the dishes in front of us, made sure they were carefully placed, then turned around and walked away without explaining what we were about to eat! We still don't know for sure what we'd been given, but there was definitely some cuttle fish (over cooked) and what appeared to be a crab cake sitting in a thick and viscous soup, perhaps a bisque. I didn't mind the soup, it was actually quite pleasant, but the crab cake and the cuttle fish were not so good, with the cuttlefish being chewy to the point of rubber and the crab cake being flakey and almost inedible.

My starter came shortly after, which admittedly was probably the best part of the meal. I'd ordered the octopus 'Miramonte L'altro', which was octopus with olive oil potato puree and crispy bread. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't the finely diced octopus that had been set in ring, then topped with crusty bread. The octopus then sat atop some very finely pureed mash potato and the dish looked quite refined. But by chopping the octopus into tiny little squares, much of that wonderful texture was lost but at least the flavour was still there. While I quite enjoyed the dish, I found it too big for a starter and about two thirds of the way through, had had enough and couldn't eat anymore.

Our other starter was the foie gras black truffle terrine with brioche and onion marmalade, which sounded quite nice. The two pieces of cold duck foie gras had a smear of truffle infused inside, which gave the appearance of a stripe within the terrine. It was smooth and creamy, and worked quite well with the blending of the fatty foie gras and the umami flavour from the truffle.

Mains was where things started to go awry, with SC's order of pan fried duck breast with a Sichuan pepper corn and balsamic vinegar sauce being completely over cooked. There had been a late change away from braised French duck leg to the breast, which may have accounted for the schoolboy error. It was shame really, the Sichuan peppercorn sauce was lovely, not at all super hot and worked well with duck. Simply put, the duck breast was a little tough and had none of the pink hue that signifies well cooked duck.

Perhaps the biggest issue of the night was my special of lobster spaghetti, which both looked and tasted a little wrong. Firstly, the foam on top of the spaghetti looked like and had the texture of a soapy residue, which had an incredibly overpowering flavour of lobster bisque. There was a generous amount of lobster in the pasta, which would have been welcomed, except that it tasted a little wrong and way too 'fishy'. Worst of all was the pasta, which didn't feel like it was fresh pasta, or at the very least was completely undercooked and quite chewy and rubbery. By the time I'd got three quarters through the main, I'd started to feel a little sick.

When our plates were cleared away and were were asked if we wanted to look at the dessert menu, a quick glance at each other told the story, we weren't going to risk it and called for the bill. When the bill arrived, we were actually quite shocked at the price and were thankful that we'd decided not to partake in dessert and potentially throw more money away.

Given the pedigree of the restaurant and it's recent history as a Michelin Starred restaurant, and knowing a little bit about the Executive Chef's back story from a number of well known two Michelin Starred restaurants, I was pretty shocked by our meal. Our service had been patchy at best, when served by the Maitre'd we'd had our meal explained and had reasonable service, but the waiter was really out of his depth and provided us with nothing.

The other thing that concerned us was that the restaurant was still practically empty by the time we'd finished our meal, which by that time should have been filled with diners. Well, perhaps not, when taking in to account our experience, it was not so much of a surprise.

My question had been answered, I now knew what it would take to lose a Michelin Star, a significant drop in standards will do it, especially when not redefining the price in alignment. Sad, but it shows that you really need to keep on top of your game, otherwise... Empty restaurant.

室內裝潢簡約高雅,燈光柔和,白底金邊桌布,白背木椅子,靠牆大櫃擺滿我最喜愛的彩色玻璃瓶子,以作裝飾,大方得體,是我喜歡的風格。餐廳周特別餐,$198三道菜,前菜及主菜各有四款選擇,甜點有三。二人光顧,當然各選不同,以便可分享多嚐。

意大利設計馳名,餐具又豈可失禮!四款麵包,隔著白餐布,以銀盆盛載,配以透明圓形玻璃壼載着的意大利橄欖油及陳醋,甚顯高貴。

橄欖油及陳醋,一試便知龍與鳳,自問並非專家,但清徹晶瑩的油,香醇的黑醋,外貎與品質相符,一嚐便知是好貨色!

橙色方形的是我至愛的sundried tomato番茄包,馬上奪取,包身尚暖,淡淡番茄香,早已溶合在麵包內,錎料亦有粒粒番茄蓉,除了清香外,喜歡番茄為麵包添加潤澤及多少酸甜味,因此不需塗上其他醬料便可吃。

另外三款乃sourdough,麥方包及脆麵包片,皆是暖身新鮮,後者薄而香脆,嚐麵包見功力。

Marinated Salmon, green apple, yogurt and coriander 青蘋果醃三文魚以乳酪及香菜調味 (3.5/5)

前菜出場,格調不同凡嚮,平面陶瓷碟子顏色如尉藍色的天空,獨特好看,圓形的乳酪塗在碟子上又如朵朵雲層,切薄片的青蘋果傾斜鋪在三文魚上,食物造型有點心思。

三文魚似是慢烹的,口感如魚生,早已略為調味,微酸令鮮魚昇華,青蘋果是酸酸爽爽的,想不到兩者同吃亦匹配,鮮爽酸甜於一身,層次分明。乳酪味淡,也許作為增加滑溜口感而已,而香菜也許亦只是略為添香,也許以作裝飾之用為主。

Slow cooked egg with Parmesan Fondue and pork cheek 溫泉蛋巴馬臣芝士豬臉珠 (3/5)

另一道前菜賣相比較普遍,以白色凹洞碟子送上,頂層是豬之臉珠肉兩片,中間是溫泉蛋,而碟底是溶化了的巴馬臣芝士,如火鍋湯底,因此取名fondu。

肉豬面珠肉炸至薄脆如煙肉,清楚可見層層肥瘦肉相隔,邊位燒至微焦,入口有焦香,但味道鹹得過火!出色之處反而在溫泉蛋,脹卜卜快要爆破的外貌,稍為用小匙一碰,橙黃色的蛋黃緩緩流水,迅速混合在溶化了的巴馬臣芝士池中,入口濃郁有蛋香,連同已溶化的芝士吃,口感多了鹹味及密度更高,如在吃蛋漿,滑溜滋味。

此道菜,外型似乎配合,但豬面肉太鹹,就是不過鹹,亦看不到跟溫泉蛋相襯之處,我並不欣賞!

兩塊紅梭魚配以白菜一棵,中西混合,以Martini及茴香調味

梭魚果然呈粉紅色,應該是連皮煎,見煎至皮脆略焦,心機功夫!魚之內心卻是白色的,入口皮脆肉嫩汁足,可惜又是過鹹了一點兒,水準不差,但不合我口味。

黑毛豬卻有驚喜,材料就是像我們的五花腩,但只見三層肉,外皮煎至焦香,白色肥肉清楚可見,有些份量,瘦肉見顏色已知其嫩,相比一般瘦肉淺色,似是肥瘦肉之混合品,肉質上乘,入口香嫩無比,略為咀嚼,已經溶化,非常可口,心水推薦。

"L' altro" Tiramisu in the glass 意大利芝士蛋糕 (3.5/5)

著名的意大利芝士蛋糕,似乎是客人必吃之選,因此豈可平平無奇!所謂in a glass,其實放在一個像廚房儲食品的密實玻璃瓶,也許造好了就是原樽放在雪櫃,等待客人點選。

Sponge pudding with rum (was offered as an alternative since the other desserts on the lunch menu were not available) - Was alright, the pudding was a bit stuff on itself - guess that's where the rum comes in

Final Thoughts:

Wouldn't mind re-visiting to try their other dishes. A slight take back was the service - there were 4 waiters serving my table of 4 and another party of 2. Still, they were not very attentive and one of them was even a bit rude/ blunt.

通貨澎脹,但今年HK Restaurant Week午餐與晚餐的價錢竟然不增反減。真是喜出望外。看看今年restaurant week參予的餐廳及餐廳menu, 個人覺得最值得去的餐廳是The Coterie, 不過可惜夾不到晚上的時間到訪,最後選擇了中午的時間到訪L'altro。L'altro初開張不久便摘了米芝蓮一星,我想應是挾著大厨在外地的名氣居多。上到去L'altro,餐廳比想像中來得細,餐桌之間留有的空間不多,盡頭的餐桌比較獨立而且對著落地玻璃窗,算是位置最好的用餐位置。我們這個下午也是在這個區域用膳。雖然是對著落地玻璃窗,但礙於樓層高度,窗外面對著的都是樓齡比較高的高樓大廈,所以沒有甚麼特別的景緻。看看 restaurant week的午餐 menu, 價錢$198,頭盤,主菜與甜品都有三種或以上的選擇,純以餐單入饌的選擇而言算是很全面,不過某些菜色點選時要另外補錢。入座不久便送來麵包。我們一行三人便送來了四款麵包,但是每款的份量並不是按人頭分配。原先麵包沒有連醋或牛油,服務員很細心的問我們要不要帶來醋或牛油,我們當然不會抗拒,畢竟麵包跟牛油或醋更好吃。不過試了幾款麵包之後

原先麵包沒有連醋或牛油,服務員很細心的問我們要不要帶來醋或牛油,我們當然不會抗拒,畢竟麵包跟牛油或醋更好吃。

不過試了幾款麵包之後,仮面與友人都覺得麵包不太新鮮,沒有預期的麵包香及軟熟感,不似是即日新鮮製作的貨色。

不知食店是否已經做慣星期一至五中環上班族的午餐生意,在這個寫意的星期日的效率仍是出奇地高,點了餐之後不用等上多久頭盤便已經送上來。這兒的服務員很專業,無論頭盤及之後的主菜及甜品服務員都有詳細的描述。之後亦有問食客對食物的意見。

破開慢煮蛋面,蛋黃瀉出,像在一塊奶白的畫布添上橙色的油彩,畫家接着可按個人風格隨意來一幅graffiti創作。

用匙羹掐一口混合了蛋黃及芝士的漿液來吃,效果出奇地融合,蛋香與芝士香同時釋放在口內,感覺creamy可口。喔!差點忘記了提及那豚肉乾陣陣的鹹香,令整道頭盤口感更為豐富味道富層次。

吃罷頭盤,主菜亦飛快登場。

義大利薯團 gnocchi, 台灣人給它起了一個很好的名字"玉棋",以方便大家記著這個意大利文的發音。

gnocchi用薯仔,玉米粉及麵粉製成,理論上不算是甚麼名貴的食材。所以當大家看到主菜上桌時的份量時,真是有點大吃一驚。

一二三四五六七,就只有這七粒義大利薯團,伴上少許parmesan芝士碎,口大一點真的可以一啖吃清光。

友人本身是大食之人,面對如此少份量的主菜,真是怨聲載道。沒辨法,唯有從三號及自己的主菜分丁點食物給他吧!(其實我們自己也自身難保,再後話)

至於麵團味道,我也無福消受。

"算是烟勒啦!" 友人應該尚未釋懷,不悅之情滿瀉。

黑豚肉據稱是來目日本最高級的品種。厨房把豚肉煎得僅熟,外面焦脆而內裡仍可感受到那僅熟的肉香。豚肉是半肥瘦類別,肉味及脂香都非常突出,果然是高級品種。不過只有薄薄的兩片,真的要逐小片逐小片切下來品嚐,僅夠糊口,不能再三回味。最後連伴碟的豆泥全部舐光也未及裹腹。

Red mullet類似紅衫魚,也只有薄薄的兩小片,伴上有martini味的foam及另外半顆小唐菜。Mullet表皮煎得香脆,黏付上少片的魚肉。鮮嫩的魚肉沾上少許帶酒味的form味道更見突出,但奈何份量真的太少,感覺似來少餐試菜多於用膳....

我們十二時三十五分左右開始點菜,甜品在一時十五分已能上桌,用膳效率快得驚人.....

甜品份量終於比較正常一點。

一個正常3 courses lunch set盛惠$298,Restaurant week 的menu跟正常menu只是選擇較少但菜色其實差不多。換句話說,這道Restaurant Week的午餐跟常日相比已有很大程度的優惠。

結帳時與部長聊了幾句,平日午餐的份量與restaurant week所提供的差不多。我們亦反映午餐份量未免過少。部長解釋菜色份量主要是按照食材與配菜的配搭再平衡其飽滯感而設定。 這種想法無可厚非,不過個人覺得設定是否太手緊仍是值得商確。

食店其實服務與食物質素都優質的, 奈何食物價錢與食物份量的反差真的過大。今次的午餐,沒有fine dining的感覺。 原因很大部份是因為進食份量太少縮短了進餐的時間(像吃了一陣風),而食店又以中環常日非常富效率的午膳節奏(快閃)上菜。短短60分鐘起承轉合,白領上班族吃完後肚子只得半飽也不用擔心午膳之後會打盹去,工作效率得以倍加提昇……

在hkrestaurant week,我嘗試了這間餐廳的午餐。不知是否知道是米芝蓮廚師開店的關係,期望較高。其實餐廳裝潢漂亮,空間感舒適,服務員速度快,也保持可接受的禮貌。 (而且都是說粵語,我有點意外)上菜速度很好,味道不錯, 菜式也ok。先上桌的是一盤麵包,二人餐有四、五款之多,味道ok,不過有些硬,沒有鬆軟的口感。我的頭盤是溫泉蛋,味道還不錯。主菜是豬柳配吞拿魚汁,那吞拿魚醬汁很美味濃郁,提升了豬柳的肉香。不過擺盤的小白菜看起來就有點奇怪。甜品是意大利雪糕配朱古力汁,的確是讓女生喜愛的甜品,不算太甜。同伴吃的頭盤是三文魚,賣相漂亮,味道也好。主菜的煎紅衫魚,她倒覺得有點腥呢~總體來說,食物的水平在這樣的餐廳來說是 ok。可惜並沒有叫人眼前一亮的感覺,總好像欠了點什麼 。 也許整個用餐過程, 就是少了叫食客有再回來的衝動。

先上桌的是一盤麵包,二人餐有四、五款之多,味道ok,不過有些硬,沒有鬆軟的口感。
我的頭盤是溫泉蛋,味道還不錯。

同伴吃的頭盤是三文魚,賣相漂亮,味道也好。主菜的煎紅衫魚,她倒覺得有點腥呢~

總體來說,食物的水平在這樣的餐廳來說是 ok。可惜並沒有叫人眼前一亮的感覺,總好像欠了點什麼 。 也許整個用餐過程, 就是少了叫食客有再回來的衝動。

题外话/补充资料: 如果服務生的待客態度親切些, 應該有幫助。 可能午市比較忙,服務員好像正競技般趕忙, 不過好餐廳水平應不止於此。另外,我未用的餐具竟黏著東西,這樣要扣分啊~

This screams of a restaurant that thinks, acts, and charges as if it still had a Michelin star, the sad truth of it being that it doesn't anymore. So here we went for lunch expecting an up-there experience given how expensive the place is but what do we get? Mediocre to bad food in miniscule portions.

The place was pretty empty when we arrived, which is weird considering its prime location at L Place between Central and Sheung Wan. The setting was great with huge windows and natural light streaming in. This may be where the good stuff ends.

The 2-course lunch menu was priced at $268 but to my dismay many of the items (i.e. everything that I wanted to get) required an additional charge on top of the set price. I thought it didn't make sense to get a more-expensive-than-it-should-be lunch so I forced myself to settle for items that I didn't really like, but since they didn't charge extra I got them anyway. Which is not to say I'm penny pinching because honestly $268 is a huge amount to pay for lunch isn't it?!

Lots of ham (like parma) - was good. I didn't really like the cold pickled vegetables. It was on the whole the opposite of a refreshing starter. I should have gotten the...

Pumpkin soup, soft goat cheese and chives, grilled home made bread
This appetizer was so much better, my companion got it and it was a warming, balanced starter.

I hate ordering this because I can basically cook this myself at home, but it was a "safe dish" to get. It proved a good choice compared to the nightmare of the next one...

It was so bloody - OOZING blood all over the place - it almost made my companion sick. Nightmare of a dish, never ordering pigeon again, anywhere I go.

Would I return? Definitely not. You're basically paying more here than at other Michelin starred restaurants and getting something smaller and worse. It's just not worth it. I regret ever coming to L'altro.

道別往往是最難啓齒的。當上月份收到好友Agent-I 要離港到星洲發展的消息之後,心情實在有點悲喜交集。可喜的是好友終能在工作和人生目標方面邁進一大步,這點的確很替她高興。但可惜的是短期內將會暫別這位好友,亦少了一位識飲識食的飯腳。為了替 Agent-I 餞行,一直想找個完美的地方跟她吃餐飯,但世上又豈有完美的地方呢,最後經過多番篩選,終於決定到中環 L Place 的意菜餐廳 L'altro。L'altro 是一間個人非常喜愛的餐廳,她既有傳統意菜的獨特風格,還有法國菜的精細和心思。近期聽聞這裡的塔斯曼尼亞黑松露套餐做得很有水準,我們也想藉此機會來試試。不過人算不如天算,侍應告知來自塔斯曼尼亞的松露運輸出了問題,在沒有其他更好的選擇情況之下,最終唯有揀了四道菜 ($680) 的套餐。正餐之前,首先來個廚師敬菜打打頭陣。三文魚芝士卷配以柚子泡沫,淡淡的芝士味一點也不起眼,味道也跟三文魚不太協調,效果普通 (3/5)。大家都不太喜歡吃薄切牛肉,因此頭盤跟侍應說改了要香煎西西里紅蝦配鷹咀豆蓉及蕃茄泡沫。西西里紅蝦果然名不虛傳,香煎過後鮮味有增無減,伴以鷹咀豆蓉和蕃茄泡沫,更能特顯紅蝦的鮮甜

L'altro 是一間個人非常喜愛的餐廳,她既有傳統意菜的獨特風格,還有法國菜的精細和心思。近期聽聞這裡的塔斯曼尼亞黑松露套餐做得很有水準,我們也想藉此機會來試試。

不過人算不如天算,侍應告知來自塔斯曼尼亞的松露運輸出了問題,在沒有其他更好的選擇情況之下,最終唯有揀了四道菜 ($680) 的套餐。

大家都不太喜歡吃薄切牛肉,因此頭盤跟侍應說改了要香煎西西里紅蝦配鷹咀豆蓉及蕃茄泡沫

西西里紅蝦果然名不虛傳,香煎過後鮮味有增無減,伴以鷹咀豆蓉和蕃茄泡沫,更能特顯紅蝦的鮮甜,令整道菜的味道更突出 (3.5/5)。

第二道菜送上意大利蜆肉水瓜柳配鮮製意粉。L'altro 處理意粉向來有一手,水瓜柳為菜式添上少許近似海水的味道,配以肥美的蜆肉之後,這個以海洋為題的菜式便更加入型入格,效果更貼題。

特別值得一讚 L'altro 所用的鮮製意粉,麵條入口煙靱,而且口感不凡,跟配料一起合作得天衣無縫 (4.5/5)。

意粉之後,整晚的主角亦正式隆重登場。招牌菜的半烤法國布雷斯鴿子,案照獨門秘方只烤焗一邊,一片鴿肉擁有兩種不同的食法,而且各有各的精彩。

來自布雷斯的鴿肉一向以其獨特的味道和嫩滑的肉質見稱,半烤方法炮製之後,味道就是更加出眾,加上底層的墨魚和西班牙肉腸粒,咬口更佳。最引人入勝的是配搭的鴨肝海鮮汁,味道像芥末般帶點刺激作用,令鴿肉的味道更上一層樓 (5/5)。

最後是甜品壓軸出場的時間。招牌的自家製意大利雪糕,今次繼續是雲呢拿味,雪糕入口相當幼滑,而且奶味豐富,配以新鮮的士多啤梨,為滿分的一頓晚餐帶來完美的結局 (4/5)。

總廚 Philippe Léveillé 設計的菜式精彩不斷,再次為我們帶來無窮驚喜。一頓愉快的晚餐希望同時亦能為 Agent-I 送上祝福,在新的工作岡位事事順利。

銀彈稍缺,追星不易!
KsMeow每當遇上想試的米芝蓮星星店,只好來個午餐...
午市再貴,應不會貴過晚市!



年三十的中午提早下班,坐著叮叮,開始我的追星之旅!
餐廳位於中環商廈里!
地方精緻,
裝潢簡樸,一室柔和的自然光線迎面而來,
一排酒櫃最引人注目!

整個餐廳(未知是否年三十影響?)只有兩、三張桌子坐了客人,
我倆被安排於窗邊位置用餐,窗外盡是樓景,
腦海突然想起銅鑼灣Cubus的agnes b. le pain grille,跟這里有七成相似呢!
尚欠的三成?是那邊的景色亦算不錯...
看看餐牌,
兩道菜$268,三道菜$298,選了前者,
有需要再追加,以免浪費!

等待主菜期間,又是吃餐包時間!
蕃茄包微酸富嚼勁,濕潤度亦不錯;溫熱的香草包則香氣突出,夠鬆軟又高密度;
最特別的是那餅乾薄脆,濃濃麥味,焗得脆而不膩,
輕蘸油醋吃或單吃都不錯喔!
但圍著麵包的餐巾竟有污跡?!
令人有點保留!

友人選了沙律,我則選擇beef eye round作頭盤,
沙律是溫暖的,
對牙齒毫無負擔,顏色翠綠而新鮮清甜,首次吃暖的沙律,感覺不錯!
beef eye round以小黑板盛著,頗具型格!
牛肉呈嫩紅色,入口卻不感血腥,
卷著吞拿魚做成的忌廉,
令牛肉更鮮味、更滑嫩,少量海鹽及燈籠椒醬汁作點綴,
更是一絕!

友人胃納不大,
選了意粉作主菜,愛吃肉的KsMeow選了豬面肉!
意粉圍成三個小團,賣相可愛,
盛器有先弄熱,更能保持意粉的溫度,讚!
麵條幼身,彈牙,亦好掛汁,醬汁中混和了鯷魚、蕃茄等,更是惹味;
但醬汁調得略酸,沒有很喜愛呢!

豬面肉比想像中精緻,
特愛以甜菜頭和薯仔打成的粉紅泡沫,美得夢幻!
肉質顏色深褐,燜煮時間十足,揮刀就能輕鬆切下,吃來腍身而富肉香!
配上少量的粟米和胡蘿蔔粒,不但豐富了口感,
亦有助減輕肉的膩感!
美中不足之處,相信是脂肪盡去,少了甘香及入口即溶之感!

以上的菜式沒有令人失望,追加了意大利雪糕作甜品
其另附上熱朱古力醬,倒進雪糕之時,
一冷一熱,
朱古力醬即時凝固,很好玩呢!
自然的雲尼拿香氣四溢,雪糕質感亦是綿密而不失扎實!
雖其甜度不輕,
幸微帶甘苦的朱古力醬,稍作平衡!

總算嘗過香港的一星意大利餐廳,
喜歡侍應端上菜式時,
會先對其作簡單介紹,客人完成每道菜後,亦會詢問食後感,感覺認真!
唯景觀...(又或是晚上璀璨夜景會是另一番感覺?)、
餐巾有污跡、整體味道亦沒有深深的打動我...
再光顧的可能性,五十五十!
對星星餐廳的期望,其實是否應該不要過高???

On the surface, L'altro has all the fixtures of a nice restaurant from the sleek decor to the fancy platings. Since I was staying in town over the holiday break, I decided to make reservations at several Michelin restaurants I wanted to try and L'altro was one of them. Whenever possible, I'd like to make reservations online and this restaurant had that capability. I made the reservation online by filling out their form, and got a call shortly confirming my reservation. Nice~Located at The L Plac

Located at The L Place, the restaurant was bright and airy during the day and had a view over The Center. The decor was sleek and modern with minimal colors except for the festive decorations. An impressive series of wine refrigerators took up one side of the restaurant.

Our table happened to be right next to the Christmas tree! How festive! We were given a rather large table that can seat 4 people even though there were only 2 of us. It may be because the restaurant was actually not that full at all during lunch time.

The lunch menu was pretty simple with 2 courses at $268, 3 courses at $298, 4 courses at $398. We each picked the 3 courses with a starter, main, and dessert. When I asked the waiter to explain some of the items on the menu to me, he just sort of recited the menu which wasn't that helpful. We also noticed some wrong spellings on the menu (like the word potato), which is not a big deal but it does reflect on the attentiveness of the restaurant.

Bread Basket - our bread basket was plentiful and most importantly - hot. No olive oil or balsamic vinegar was given however. Not an issue as each of the bread was pretty flavorful. The tomato bread roll had bits of dried tomato bits as an added texture. The rosemary bread roll was fragrant and tasty. The sourdough wheat bread was tangy and refreshing to eat.

The starters came out rather quickly after we ordered. 

Slow Cooked Japanese Egg, Delicate Salad and Mustard Dressing (3/5) - the slow cooked Japanese egg was buried in the middle of the salad, which was cooked nicely as it was soft and liquidy. The salad was fresh but the flavor of the dressing was not apparent. We could not taste it at all and depended on the egg as condiment. A so-so and bland dish overall.

Panfried Baby Squid, Datterino Tomato Coulis and Cous Cous (4/5) - loved the bright colors of the plating of this dish. The squid was nicely panfried as it was slightly crispy on the surface. It could be fresher though. The couscous was light and grainy, and went well with the tomato puree sauce.

After the starters, it started to go downhill as we had to wait 20-30 minutes for our mains.

Parma Ham and Ricotta Tortelli with Consomme (1/5) - what a disappointment! When this finally came, we noticed a strand of hair on one of the tortelli. We had to send it back of course but no apology was given. We waited another 10 minutes for the new dish to arrive. The consomme was poured on the spot. Unfortunately, it was way too salty! The parma ham was really salty while the skin of the tortelli was thick and hard. The portion was also pretty pitiful with only 4 small pieces.

Kurobuta Milanese, Curry Potato Mash and Chips (3/5) - this was highly recommended by the waiter. The plating was again very pretty with the contrasting colors and symmetrical positionings. Too bad the pork was a bit tough and bland. It was not tender at all. The potatoes were tasty though especially the purple colored chips. Again, pretty small portions with only 2 pieces of cubed pork.

Finally the desserts came out quickly after we finished our mains. 

Figs and Vanilla Pannacotta +$28 (4/5) - the desserts here were probably the highlight of our meal. The pannacotta was rich with vanilla flavor while the pastry base was buttery and crunchy. The figs were also sweet and delicous to eat.

Gelato Miramonti (4/5) - I had read that this dessert was highly recommended but it didn't arrive in a little mountain as others have experienced. It came in a martini glass with some chocolate syrup poured at the table. No biggie. The gelato was silky smooth while the chocolate was slightly bitter, which nicely counterbalanced the sweetness of the gelato.

Conclusion - my dining experience at L'altro was disappointing to say the least. For a 1 star Michelin restaurant charging $300+ for lunch per person, the value for money just wasn't there. The food was not impressive while the portions were tiny (even for a girl!). The service could be better as well as the staff just seemed disengaged and standoffish.

過程是甘樣的: 聖誕期間, l'Altro吃飯, 點了一個8-course的白松露套餐, 後菜單拿走了. 侍應回頭過來, 問我要選雞肉還是魚, 我問是主菜嗎? 侍應說是的. 我選好了, 一道道菜上. ... 燉飯, 意面, 主菜... 無任何服務, 就是把菜端上來, 也沒對菜式的說明我開始無看菜單有是哪些菜, 一道道吃完走了, 後來看下這個套餐的menu, 發現其中的項目被改了. 原菜單是包含2個主菜(一個魚類主菜, 一個肉類主菜), 配菜是從飯和意大利面中二選一, 套餐被偷偷改成了飯+意大利面+1個主菜, 相反於把一個肉類主菜偷換成面(標價分別是988和688), 而餐廳從頭到尾無說明和解釋, 有故意欺騙的嫌疑菜單是英文和意大利文混合的, 對於有多道菜的套餐, 一般人不會認真看且記住每一道菜細節. 在一般米其林餐廳點套餐, 都要會給你一份menu的copy, 每一道菜上時會解釋一下原材料, 做法等等. 而l'Altro我點了單後menu再沒出現過, 上菜時也沒解釋. 不知他們換菜單是咩理由, 而我的猜測是: 當我點了菜后, 他們覺得我沒認真看菜單, 就來偷偷換菜. 即使被發現了他們也

要說食物的品質, 我點的白松露套餐, 我期望它根據白松露的特點來設計菜式, 結果大失所望, 只是普通的8道菜在上面撒上白松露切片. 價格還虛高(按歐洲米其林餐廳的標準, 這種配套的白松露只需額外加10歐元), 豪無性價比可言.

服務就更不用說了, 米其林指南應該收回那顆星

今次是第二次和朋友到這餐廳吃午餐, 這間餐廳環境不錯, 服務員有熱誠, 會關心顧客對食物評價.食物選擇也幾多, 一個lunch menu有不同配撘讓顧客選擇, 頭盤和甜品也各有3-4款,main course也有4-5款給選擇. 啱曬多心的我.  今次叫了ristoot(意大利飯) 和pasta with4kinds of tomatos, 但感覺一般,  後者同普通蕃茄長通粉沒有分別, 根本看不到有4款蕃茄, 可能是煮埋一起, 沒有驚喜.相反,甜品就十分精緻好味, 意大利奶凍, 奶味香濃.  甜品拼盤包括朱古力泡芙,軟糖, 芝蔴味macaron和朱古力. 最有驚喜是泡芙, 凍得來十分脆和可口, 味道不太甜, 很好吃. 反而軟煻和macaron 就太甜了. 不是我杯茶.

一行3人點了以下菜式飲料:1) 2支Pellegrino水 (點解而家收貴少少o既餐廳都只係提供呢隻水...)2) 36個月Parma Ham (價格不貴HK$228,自然質素也不能期望太高)3) Red Crab (味道唔差但亦都唔太識欣賞)4) Duck Terrine (無記錯有2道菜,第2道菜比第1道菜好吃)5) Scallops (味道幾特別但收HK$328下次我又未必會叫)6) Ravioli (完全唔掂,一定無下次,同枱的人只欣賞Ravioli下的菠菜...)7) Seabass (都唔係太掂,或者說我們預期應該係嫩滑的質感但結果係有少少o鞋)8) Grilled Pigeon (主菜中以呢個最好,如果再去此餐廳也會再點這道菜,但如果不太吃生的可能會不喜歡此菜式)9) Gelato (1個甜品3個人分都算多,值得點的1道菜,而且欣賞餐廳是用冰杯為我們分甜品)10) Petit "Four" (有6件小甜品,但沒有1件留下太多回憶)難怪此餐廳食評落差比較大,但總體而言,要吸引比得起錢食好o野o既人重覆去此餐廳仍需努力~

2) 36個月Parma Ham (價格不貴HK$228,自然質素也不能期望太高)
3) Red Crab (味道唔差但亦都唔太識欣賞)
4) Duck Terrine (無記錯有2道菜,第2道菜比第1道菜好吃)
5) Scallops (味道幾特別但收HK$328下次我又未必會叫)
6) Ravioli (完全唔掂,一定無下次,同枱的人只欣賞Ravioli下的菠菜...)
7) Seabass (都唔係太掂,或者說我們預期應該係嫩滑的質感但結果係有少少o鞋)
8) Grilled Pigeon (主菜中以呢個最好,如果再去此餐廳也會再點這道菜,但如果不太吃生的可能會不喜歡此菜式)
9) Gelato (1個甜品3個人分都算多,值得點的1道菜,而且欣賞餐廳是用冰杯為我們分甜品)
10) Petit "Four" (有6件小甜品,但沒有1件留下太多回憶)

難怪此餐廳食評落差比較大,但總體而言,要吸引比得起錢食好o野o既人重覆去此餐廳仍需努力~

This is actually my second visit to L'altro, since my last lunch here was rather rush, but the burrata with tomato cream had left me with a strong impression, I decided to return and had a relaxing lunch during my holiday.Seated at the corner, it was a rather quiet corner that I had it all to myself, and perhaps because of this corner, servers were rather non-attentive that I had to hold my hand up for quite a while before they noticed me.

This is actually my second visit to L'altro, since my last lunch here was rather rush, but the burrata with tomato cream had left me with a strong impression, I decided to return and had a relaxing lunch during my holiday.

Seated at the corner, it was a rather quiet corner that I had it all to myself, and perhaps because of this corner, servers were rather non-attentive that I had to hold my hand up for quite a while before they noticed me. I asked about the Risotto of the Day, but did not receive a satisfactory answer - 'risotto with a kind of white fish with cream sauce'. Given it was a michelin starred restaurant, I reckoned the minimum requirement would at least have the server telling me what kind of fish would be served, how it would be cooked. Finally, I opt for the 3-course option and was served with the bread basket. I especially liked the sun-dried tomato one though its aroma was stronger its taste.

My appetizer was presented to my table not long after I started nibbling my bread. It was Tomato 'panzanella', buffalo mozarella and 36 months cured ham. Tomato with mozarella was my usual choice for appetizer, and it came in a lovely twist! Panzaella is a Tuscan salad of soft bread and tomatoes. The bread was soaked with different kinds of seasonings, like onions, olive oil and vinegar. I could literally taste the 3 layers separately, first the panzanella with tomatoes, then the mozarella started to take over my tastebud, and at the final bites, I could smell and taste my ham. It was a lovely idea to add the cured ham onto the appetizer, which was indeed a good alternative to the more common Insalata Caprese. It did not make it a heavier dish but brought out the essence of the fresh mozarella and tomatoes.

Even when the server did not give a descriptive elaboration on the Risotto of the Day, I wanted to be adventurous and had it for my main. It was OK, the fish meat was rather tender, with crispy skin and the oil and juice in the fish was well preserved in the meat. The risotto was slightly too cheesy for my liking. I could only finish half of it since I needed to save some space for dessert.

As for dessert, of course I chose the famous Gelato Miramonti. The first time I came, it arrived on a wheeled table like an ice-cream mountain which was served later on a martini glass with strawberrie. Not sure if it was because this is rather time-consuming or there was not enough servers on duty, the gelato was just presented on the martini glass right away and brought to my table. I was a little disappointed that consistency was not kept. Well, the gelato still tasted awesome, it was silky smooth with a strong egg and milk flavor.

To me, dining consists of both food and service. If the 'showcase' of gelato had never been performed, there would not be any disappointment. Plus if it targets the fine dining sector, I reckon servers should be able to give a richer elaboration on the dishes. If it is really hard to memorize everything, little cards with explanation could be printedand shown on the tables. Overseas first class restaurants are already doing that and it is not anything new. Not only should a great restaurant keep up with its food quality, but it should also maintain at least the same service quality every time a diner visits or re-visits the place.

We had to wait long time for the main course, the bottle of wine was almost finished by the time the main course arrived. Inedible! My ravioli stuffed with duck was dry and hard. The restaurant manager apologized and took it off the bill. Immediately we booked at another Italian restaurant and there we finished our dinner. The wine is very expensive although our choice was good. For the price we paid at both restaurants we could have done a degustation menu with wine pairing without changing venues.
