The staff explains the menu to us, and also introduces the origin of Racines, which means roots in French, as Chef Romain and Adrien want to showcase cuisine from their home, Nice and Toulouse. The ‘Genese 6’ is a 6-course menu at $1,688. Instead of wine pairing, I decide to go for a bottle.

Picking a champagne because of its versatility for food, I have opted for Champagne Eric Rodez Blanc de Noirs ($1,550). With the grapes from Ambonnay Grand Cru, and majority of the blend has not undergone malolactic fermentation, there is good freshness and elegant fruit.

The bread is a collaboration between the restaurant and a local bakery, with the chefs providing the recipe to the bakery, making the Cereal Sourdough with Black Sesame, paired with a smoked butter with some Piment d’Espelette chili powder, on a port wine jam on top. Very good.

There are three Amuse Bouche. The first is Chicken Liver Parfait, with some duck terrine, served on a spoon. The second is Broccoli Tarte, made with broccoli puree and basil, together with French and local clam in a clear consommé ‘shell’.  Both are flavourful and great in taste.

The remaining one is Croquette, with the deep-fried breaded mashed potato ball having fillings of tomato and Bechamel sauce. It is not oily, with a crisp crust but not hard, and the rich and delicious stuffing is very pleasant too. It is my favourite among the three small bites.

The first course features Tarbouriech Oyster. The famous producer raises the special oysters in Thau Lagoon, the third largest lake in France. The lightly poached oyster has nice mineral taste, and is mixed with Tzatziki, a salted yogurt and cucumber dipping sauce with lots of fresh herbs like coriander and mint, together with some sugar pea, grilled seaweed, and Kaviari Ocietra caviar ($98 supplement). The umami of the seaweed, combining with the savoury of the caviar, sweetness from the peas, and the sauce generates a feast of sensory delights in flavours. Truly wonderful.

The second course features Mediterranean Tuna. The pan-seared tuna is wrapped with a paste of anchovy and olives to give additional layers of flavours. On the bottom is a paste made with some fresh almond to provide nutty flavours to the dish. Together with some fresh tomatoes, peach, French and fava beans, and the beautiful sauce made with fresh tomato juice, peach, almond, red pepper, ginger, garlic and verbena oil, the whole dish is harmonized, with the different elements integrated well, reminding me of flavours we had in Nice on a visit. Fantastic.

The third course features Britanny Lobster, serving in two ways. The first part is the Lobster Roll, deep-fried in tempura style, with some breadcrumbs on the surface. The lobster meat has been mixed with dry orange peel, chopped chickpeas, pickled apricot, sage, and coriander. The sweetness and flavours of the lobster meat is phenomenal, testifying to the attention of the chefs in only having best quality ingredients in the dish.

The second part of the Britanny Lobster, with the tail lightly poached with the tomalley of the lobster itself before grilling it over charcoal. The chef has prepared a sauce of great flavours, made from the lobster shell, chicken jus and harissa. On the side is the mashed chickpea, which has been cooked with some North African spices. In the middle is the chickpea salad with some pickled apricot, seasoned with coriander and mint oil. While the taste is gorgeous, the portion size of the lobster tail is frankly quite small. Good that the chickpea is also wonderful in flavours.

We get to pick our own knife for the main course, in which both of us have chosen Britanny Pigeon ($188 addition). The charcoal-roasted pigeon breast is encrusted with a layer of olives and capers, cooked perfectly, very tender, juicy, and flavourful. On the side is the organic eggplant, which does not have the usual bitterness, with anchovies and olive on top, along with an eggplant puree. The jus is made from the pigeon and cooked with liquorice, to balance out the flavours. This is my favourite dish in the evening, with each element fantastic and delicious. Amazing.

Coming to the fifth course, which features Burgundy Clacbitou, a type of cheese made from raw goat milk. The cheese is made into a sorbet, adding with pineapple chutney to give sweetness and fragrance, and the arugula balancing with a hint of bitterness from the greens, with some cheese foam at the bottom. Very pleasant, it is refreshing and palate cleansing. As Ivy was coughing quite badly and the doctor advised her not to eat anything cold, Chef Romain helps to arrange a Crème Brulee for her instead.

The sixth and last course features Celeriac Root. The chef creatively uses the vegetable to make a dessert, mixing the celeriac root with passionfruit seeds at the bottom, followed by some ricotta cheese, a passionfruit sorbet with honey, crisps made from coffee and almond, and some marigold leaves on top. A nice dessert that is not too sweet, with the different components harmonizing in flavours. A wonderful finale for the menu. Again, Chef Romain has kindly arranged a Lemon Meringue Tart for Ivy to substitute.

The Petits Fours are put inside two beautiful tin boxes, with the bigger ones having Madeleine and Almond Tuile, while the smaller one contains Chocolates of Almond and Hazelnut. Both are great complements to coffee and finishes our evening on a high note.

The bill on the night is $6,186. All the staff are friendly and helpful, with Chef Romain a cheerful chef, who comes to interact with customers, checking in on the food and socializing. He also took extra effort to accommodate our request to change the desserts. Even though it is very packed and might not be the most comfortable seating environment, in terms of food quality and customer service it has the intimate and enjoyable ambience we like. Knowing that the menu will be changed in August, there are ample reasons for us to return again.

首先恭喜Racines餐廳摘得米其林一星🎉🎉🎉
First of all, congratulations to Racines for earning a Michelin star 🎉🎉🎉


這家小小的餐廳就像是藏在城市裡的寶藏,只有十幾個座位,有一半的座位是廚房吧台,拉近了主廚和客人的距離,讓人感受到濃濃的家庭氛圍!
This little restaurant feels like a hidden treasure in the city, with only a handful of seats, half of which are at the kitchen bar. This setup brings the chefs and guests closer together, creating a cozy family atmosphere!


Racines的兩位主廚,Adrien和Romain,他們從小就認識,曾經在法國的米其林餐廳一起打拼,還在香港的Shangri-La和Four Seasons磨練過,最後決定攜手創辦這家南法餐廳。Racines這個名字其實充滿意義,在法語中是「根」的意思,他們用美食帶我們回到他們的家鄉,讓每一口都充滿了故事和情感。
The two chefs at Racines, Adrien and Romain, have known each other since childhood. They worked together in Michelin restaurants in France and honed their skills at Shangri-La and Four Seasons in Hong Kong before deciding to open this Southern French restaurant together. "Racines" means "roots" in French, this is so meaningful! Through their food, they take us back to their hometown, making every bite filled with stories and emotions.


我們那天去的時候,主廚Adrien不在,只有幽默風趣的Romain在掌廚。他的手上還刺有米其林星星的圖案,讓我感受到他對烹飪的熱情,真是太可愛了!而且這裡的廚房是開放式的,坐在吧台前可以親眼目睹美食的誕生,真的是視覺和味覺的雙重享受!🍽️✨
On the day we visited, Chef Adrien is day off, and only the humorous and charming Romain was in charge. He even has a tattoo of the Michelin star on his arm, which shows his passion for cooking—how adorable!!!!! Plus, the kitchen there is an open kitchen, so sitting at the kitchen counter allows you to witness the creation of the dishes firsthand. It’s truly a feast for both the eyes and the palate! I love it so much!!! 🍽️✨


服務生們也超級熱情,不僅會為你介紹菜式和酒,還會時不時和你聊聊天,讓整個用餐過程充滿了歡樂的氛圍。
The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, not only introducing the dishes and wines but also chatting with you from time to time, filling the dining experience with joy.

3道開胃小點 - 沒聽太清楚用了什麼食材,但很好吃!一口下去濃郁的香氣在嘴裡爆炸開來的感覺,不誇張,其中一道應該是雞肝醬,和Amber的鵝肝棒棒糖有異曲同工之處。
3 Amuse bouche - I didn't catch exactly what ingredients were used, but it was delicious! One bite and the rich aroma exploded in my mouth—no exaggeration! One of the dishes was probably a chicken liver pâté, which had a similar essence to Amber's foie gras lollipops.

這次的菜單幾乎每一道菜都充滿細節,口感和味道都層次分明、豐富,讓人忍不住一口接一口,每一口都讓人感受到主廚的用心和熱情。主菜有牛肉和鵪鶉,口感非常棒!軟嫩多汁,軟不是軟爛的那種軟,而是保有了肉該有的彈性和肉香。我絕對會再回訪!
This time, almost every dish on the menu was filled with details, with distinct and rich layers of texture and flavor that made it impossible to stop at just one bite. Each mouthful reflected the chef's dedication and passion. The main courses included beef and pigeon, and the textures were fantastic! They were tender and juicy—not the kind of soft that falls apart, but rather a softness that retains the meat's elasticity and flavor. I will definitely be back💖

食食下,staff仲唱住生日歌遞咗個chocolate cake,隔離枱嘅客人又跟住唱,搞到🐝紅都面哂🥵
然後隔離枱又係慶祝生日,到我地唱番歌比隔離枱🤣
最後Staff送上兩張Chef hometown嘅postcard💌
雖然黎緊8月係去Paris唔係南法,但之後有機會好想去南法一嘗美食🐟🦐🦪同睇薰衣草🪻

Overall係一個舒服casual嘅fine dining experience🤤Complex flavour in simple dishes,由Sourdough到Dessert都感受到兩位Chef對佢地Roots嘅熱愛❤️

呢間餐廳係無意中發現嘅~ 兩位總廚係來自Four Seasons同Island Shangri-La HK🫶🏻 所以由佢地出手嘅食物都有返咁上下質素架😊

🔈上主菜前主廚會有一盒刀比客人揀自己想要邊把刀食主菜 覺得幾特別
🔈臨走前餐廳會送每人佢地自製嘅餐前麵包
🔈餐牌會經常轉 我一個星期去左2次已經換左餐牌

唯二我覺得唔係幾好嘅就係1️⃣餐廳偏細所以會坐得逼少少 同埋2️⃣價錢偏少貴

⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

🍸genèse - 5 courses🍸 HKD1,388

Oyster ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Red Mullet ⭐️⭐️⭐️

小編的話:

唔好睇佢每一碟個份量好似好少咁 小編食5 courses都已經好飽啦~真心覺得呢間餐廳啲食物好好食🤤 雖然埋單嗰陣少肉赤 但係呢個價食到咁高質嘅食物 突然覺得都值得😋

“plénitude” 7-course dinner tasting menu
$1,788 per person
+$888 for 5 gls of wine pairing

The dining experience at Racines (meaning “roots” in French), is about friendship, and about 2 long-time friends, Chef Adrien Castillo and Chef Romain Dupeyre, taking us back to their roots, which is the South of France. Aside from the chefs’ excellent storytelling skills, another thing I liked a lot was the casual and cozy vibe at Racines, which isn’t that common in HK’s fine dining scene.

From the exquisite amuse bouche (the chicken liver pate truffle ball is amazing 🤤), to the very famous (and photogenic!) sourdough paired with the homemade smoked butter with plum, to the flavorful and delicious oyster & caviar, carabineros and foie gras starters, to the heartier monkfish and pigeon courses, to the 2 amazing desserts (I really loved the clacibitou ice cream, which was actually more like a dessert when mixed with rockets and pineapple haha) and lastly to the cute mignardises presented in vintage biscuit boxes, again repping the roots of the 2 chefs, the “plénitude” menu showed us to a gustatory journey of culinary excellence. Definitely will be back!

Taste: 👅👅👅👅
Value for Money: 💰💰💰1/2
Service: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Will I go again? Yes

Chef Romain及Chef Adrien開的Racines雖然營業不久, 但已吸引不少老饕, 週末的午市也長期處於客滿狀態. 兩位在Petrus及Caprice等星級法國食肆工作過, 身經百戰, 實力不會有問題. 我反而感興趣的是, 當法式Fine Dining在香港成行成市時, 他倆用什麼吸引我們的胃, Racines在法文解作”根”, 兩位出身在圖盧茲及尼斯的南法地方, 自然希望用他們的本土做法, 帶我們尋找他們的美食之根源. 餐廳地方不大, 但裝修精緻, 特別是一入門口的上面的樹根裝飾, Eye Catching之餘也很代表客廳. Chef Romain及Chef Adrien兩位合作, 前者很Energetic, 很喜歡和食客交流, 是餐廳的門面擔當; 後者烹調時沉實而專注, 一剛一柔, 相當有趣.三道菜的Set Lunch接近一千元, 定價比很多星級食肆來得進取, 食物質素相當不錯, 只是侍應服務並非不Sincere, 只是有時有點混亂, 而且餐廳氣溫偏高, 坐在Chef Table感覺真的有點熱. 菜式方面以來自Brittany的乳鴿最有驚喜, 終於不是烤三黃雞(笑)

Chef Romain及Chef Adrien兩位合作, 前者很Energetic, 很喜歡和食客交流, 是餐廳的門面擔當; 後者烹調時沉實而專注, 一剛一柔, 相當有趣.

三道菜的Set Lunch接近一千元, 定價比很多星級食肆來得進取, 食物質素相當不錯, 只是侍應服務並非不Sincere, 只是有時有點混亂, 而且餐廳氣溫偏高, 坐在Chef Table感覺真的有點熱. 菜式方面以來自Brittany的乳鴿最有驚喜, 終於不是烤三黃雞(笑). 乳鴿先煎後焗, 口感嫩滑中保持一定紅肉的纖維感, 烤得很香帶甘甜. 配菜是茄子卷和鴨肝橄欖慕絲, 味道濃香但不死鹹. 它的麵包由上方的脆麥皮和下方的Sourdough組合而成, 很有麥香, 外脆內鬆軟, 再配以加了辣椒和梅子醬, 再煙燻過的牛油, 比絕大部份的麵包來得印象深刻.

兩道頭盤是蠔和鵝肝, 前者配以乳酪和小黃瓜, 再加上Buluga魚子醬, 酸甜極鮮, 三者互相提味, 相當開胃. 後者鵝肝打成泡沫, 配以田螺, 味道濃重之餘, 和第一道的蠔及之後的乳鴿, 味道上層層遞進. 另一道主菜鮟鱇魚, 配以瑞士甜菜及鯷魚, 再用高湯熬煮, 味道鮮甜, 口感柔軟, 吃得相當舒服. 甜品的士多啤梨雪芭上面添加辣椒粉, 比起頭盤和主菜的傳統做法, 酸甜辛辣的做法除了更醒胃, 也有一種獨特的衝擊感. 這次南法二人轉相當有趣, 也令我轉出新天地.

Racines is operated by Chef Romain and Chef Adrien who have been worked for Caprice and Petrus. No doubt on their cooking style and quality, they provided their traditional southern French style cuisines to us. The pigeon from Brittany is one of the best in HK with baked and grilled together. With the foie gras mousse and eggplant, it tastes so rich. The sourdough bread with crispy skin is also special from others. The chef teams are so energetic and homey that we enjoy so much.

Sourdough in a collab with local bakery, mixed with 4 different seeds and raw oats. A sourdough full of character, not only does it uniquely stamped with Racines’s logo, the thin crust top is to die for, insanely crunchy, together with immense umami aroma from the seeds, it almost tasted like seedy cracker! It’s served with a beautiful smoked butter with plum.

Inspired by chef’s experience in Thailand, the beef cheek main is literally a west and thai encounter. Never had a curry paired with a western rich beef gravy sauce, and they actually work! Red curry is mildly spicy with multiple depths of spices. Beautiful cutlery from prestige maker provided for this dish but don’t think it has been put into good use as the beef cheek is extremely tender that it can easily tear with the fork alone. It’s gelatinous and rich in beef flavor.

The lunch ends with adorable mignardises served in nostalgic cookie boxes, paying a final homage to Nice and Toulouse. Two heartfelt postcards attached adds another sentimental touch that set them apart from other restaurants.

It’d been a long time since I felt such excitement from dining at a small restaurant.  Given the credentials of the chefs, I'd set a high bar on the restaurant but Racines still didn’t disappoint. 

We chose the kitchen counter seats.  Throughout the course of dining, while Chef Adrien was engrossed in the cooking at the back most of the time, Chef Romaine was enthusiastically explaining to us the details of how each dish was prepared and what ingredients they used behind the counter bar.  I knew by then Racines was a special creation.  In the simple descriptions of the menu lay profound thought and ingenuity. 

【 Champagne Louis Roederer Collection 242 】

Racines offered a 2 or 3-glass wine pairing option yet I preferred choosing my own wines.  To start with, a glass of Champagne Collection 242 by Louis Roederer.  Not Cristal of course, this sparkling wine heralded a good start though honestly not quite as impressive and expressive as Louis Roederer claimed it was.

【 Sourdough from Levain Bakery | Butter 】 The multi-grain sourdough from the local artisan bakery tasted amiable and it met the highest standard for bread.  Texturally — the crispiness of the crust and moderate softness for the crumb — it spotted on.  I always suspect that sourdough in HK is adapted to the local palate, which is more used to agreeable tastes than ready to accept the challenge for their senses to new things.  This big bread in the picture was for your IG only.  A fresh one would be sliced and served.

The butter was placed on a nice dish with a lid. When the lid was opened, some hazy wisps of smoke came out of the dish.  This added some theatricality we all like these days.

Made in the shape of a leaf, the smoked butter was topped with plum jam and scattered inside out with the French Espelette pepper. On the palate, the butter showed smooth, velvety softness. I enjoyed the French pepper’s subtle smokiness and not overpowering heat very much. The sweetness of the plum went well with the piment d'Espelette too.   Racines worked miracle on a simple butter with careful combination of Espelette pepper, plum jam and smoking it. 

As an aside, Les Beurre Bordier makes excellent le beurre au piment d’Espelette as well. That’s one of the reasons I cherish every visit to Gaddi’s, which has le beurre au piment d’Espelette served all the time.  

【 Pre-appetisers — Artichoke Tart, Chicken Liver Parfait and Barba Juan 】

Beautifully prepared pre-appetisers demonstrated layers of flavours in harmony. The delicious tart and liver parfait aside, it is worth mentioning that before picking up that fried Provençal dumpling — Barba Juan as it is called —  by hand, you were advised to rub the sage with your fingers to add fragrance to your hand.

Now, the ‘antipodes’ Menu. 

【 Squid | Escabeche | Leek | Citrus 】

On top of the squid rolls were julienned carrot and leek heaped up. They were then encircled on the plate by squid ink coconut milk sauce that tasted dramatically in resemblance of Tom Yum.  That Kaffir lime leaf fragrance in the sauce not least represented a beautiful twist-and-blend but also led you through a sublime gastronomical experience in what’s supposed to be essentially French (or French-Spanish, in case you were aware of the escabeche).

Chef Romaine said he spent 2 years in Thailand. The influence was clearly shown in this appetiser that combined French cooking with Thai cuisine. He told us that Kaffir lime leaves were normally infused for their taste but he took this herb to another realm by powderising them so that he could control the exact level of aroma as he needed.  

【 Beef | Tartare | Oyster Mushroom | Soybeans | Périgord Winter Black Truffle 】

The pickled mushrooms beneath the beef gave the dish some warmth in addition to the flavoursome acidity that usually came with traditional beef tartare, whereas the milder-tasted soybeans served to give certain texture and balance out the strength of the beef tartare. The gestalt was mesmerising and I deeply savoured it. 

Adding slices of winter truffle was nice but for me the dish had been too strong in taste to complement the subdued, earthy tone and minimally minty flagrance of the truffle. It’s a nice to have though not absolutely necessary in terms of taste enhancement.

【 Golden Threadfin Bream | Bouillabaisse | Yunnan Potato | Rouille 】

The warm and beautiful bouillabaisse was poured on to the golden sea bream - don’t forget the octopus — and mingled nicely with rouille sauce, the unparalleled jewel for fish soup.  Though creamy, it was not too thick yet effusive with the deep flavours. I had no second thought using small pieces of bread to clean up the plate at the end.  A faux pas this might be but it was a sin to waste one drop of such delicious soup.

【 Justin Giradin 2020 Santenay Vielles Vignes 】For beef cheek, likely a more powerful Bordeaux suited better but my friend knew me well - I always love Burgundy.  So for me he chose Justin Giradin 2020, a Santenay VV.

For info, Racines charges corkage $800 for your own bottle but gladly waives it if you order one from their wine list.  Though not extensive, the wine collection is interesting.  If your party can consume two bottles and you have a beloved wine, you should bring your own to pair with such excellent food. 

【 Beef | Cheek | Basmati | Red Curry 】

The chef served this excellent beef cheek with light and sweet red curry from Blue Elephant and crispy basmati rice on top.  When it touched my palate, the flavours fanned out to my taste buds like light going through a spectrum.

When I got carried away by the dish, my friend asked Chef Romaine about his days at Petrus where he and me had a unhurried and beautiful lunch (if interested, please refer to my review Unhurried and Beautiful『徐緩美麗』in March 2022, written in Chinese though 🙄).  This main reminded us of Petrus’s French Lamb Shoulder, Eggplant, Caponata, Ras el Hanout.   Chef Romaine said they still do the lamb at Petrus. 

Both dishes shared a punch in taste alike and both were eclectic in style yet diverged from cuisines of two different regions.  The lamb shoulder at Petrus came with the influence of the Middle East while today’s beef cheek told a story about an elegant and beautiful Thailand built upon a very French beef dish. 

After the Petrus lunch last year I called Chef Romaine the painter J. M. W. Turner as his food was bold and complex but within the splash of flavours you’d find beauty almost to the extent beyond description as you’d discover from the dashes of colours on a Turner. 

On the other hand, I appreciated Caprice for the classic approach in a more controlled, structural setting, and today I got to know Chef Adrien’s own interpretation of how food could bring about such radiant happiness in a freer and more cozy environment, not to mention the complexity and harmony in each dish. 

I always believe in nurture as much as in nature.  Apart from training and striving for the better, I am sure Chefs Adrien and Romaine are born with a refined palate and the genes for gastronomy which are expressed in their food.  Glad that the two gentlemen ventured out to Racines.   

【 Of note 】 The table knives for the main course are hand made for Racines by Les Couteliers Basque in France, each having a different word etched on the blade that means something special to the chefs and in the course of making Racines a dream come true. 

【 Ossau Iraty | Hazelnut Crumble | Persimmon | Oxalis 】 

The Basque semi-hard cheese made from sheep milk was plated to go with persimmon jam, and texturally supplemented by hazelnut crumbles.  It was not an overpowering cheese but with some kick and overall quite smooth and palatable.  Such amicability surely would go well with a lot of fine foods and wines yet a reasonable amount of sweetness, as in this case, persimmon, was a definite complement to the cheese.  The dish was finally nuanced by a hint of sourness of oxalis, a touch ‘to turn gold into diamond’.

【 Banana | Tart | Almond | Baileys 】

Before serving, the banana tart was showcased on the countertop for us to take pictures, then we all got a small slice paired with Bailey ice-cream and caramel.  The combinative effect was astoundingly delicious. Contrast in temperature between the tart and the ice-cream, texture between the banana dessert and the nuts, and finally the flavours among all on the plate simply made me on cloud nine.

【 Mignardises | Coffee 】At the end sea salt and butter cookies, and almond chocolates to go with a rather light coffee.  The cookies were not of the entirely crispy type but partook of certain — a very slight degree of — chewy-gluey-ness in them.  If I still described them as crispy, I meant the taste - the cookies were crispy in the sense that they were clearly and sharply tasted.  The use of sea salt on chocolate and cookies was not new but this belonged to another level. To complement such nice texture and taste of the cookies came the crunchiness of the almond chocolate.  Hard not to say this was a perfect finale of the meal.

All in all, this was a beautiful and colourful lunch at a sunny noon in France — Le midi de la France as the region where the chefs come from is called. 

Then my friend booked for dinner in April and needless to say this said of our compliments to the chefs.  We look forward to seeing Chefs Adrien and Romaine again soon.

The ossau-iraty is not a dessert, but is an Occitan-basque cheese made from sheep milk, also a great choice to end this meal.

Overall, I think everything was so on point, from ambiance to service to food, I had a great journey on my palate, everything was genuine and delectable, I would love to come try for the dinner menu for sure, the pigeon on their ig look so good!
