因為今年的情人節是星期一,他一早計劃好我們的慶祝活動從星期六開始。這樣也好,不用和其他人一同吃套餐,又不用被迫偷聽鄰座的情話。星期六起了一個大早,準備出發,前往ifc The French Window,沒想到今年他所訂的這家餐廳這麼漂亮!無敵海景以外,整個裝潢實在精緻得讓我覺得自己像個公主!最驚訝的是那條長走廊,能夠在香港有這麼一個長廊實在奢侈呢!因為早到,我們是第一臺人客,我珍惜這個包場的機會,博命拍照。其中一幅墻上,掛了好多法國的照片,還有很浪漫的情侶接吻照片。值得一提的是一位講英文帶法國腔的waiter,好帥!他遞上的Menu設計非常有性格!灰色木紋,非常優雅!我們剛叫完菜,其他客人開始多,我也不好意思拍攝,因此錯過了拍攝我最喜歡的麵包藍。一餐絕對精緻的法國餐讓我們留下了難忘的印象!我叫的頭盤是一個蔬菜沙律,清新可口,主菜是燉牛面豬犜,意想不到的嫩!再加上可口的蘋果批甜品!豐富滿足!午餐價格,物超所值!值得再去!

十分巧合,我今天去French Window點的菜和網友kam wing yiu的一樣,也是中午去,因為$360特價午膳套餐,可任選Menu上的三道菜,看來十分超值!結果?頭盤牛油果蝦跟網友說的一樣『淡而無味』,後來翻看飲食節目介紹,這道菜原本有魚子醬在上面,現在沒有了魚子醬的鹹香去平衡,當然變得淡而無味,是否因為特價就令魚子醬失蹤?牛面頰和夢幻朱古力的評價也跟網友相同,不必再說。我太太點的溫泉蛋黑菌醬還算不賴,羊仔肉和招牌檸檬甜品又出現『好睇吾好食』情况。中環好的餐廳越開越多,你下次會選擇來French Window嗎?

之前找了很多食評關於the french window的食評,大多數都說不錯,所以今天與友人中午到此吃lunch,我抱了很大期望,可是.........我們點了:1. 頭盤: 牛油果蝦 (招牌菜式) --------- 賣相漂亮,一個個綠色形狀似青提子,裏面是蝦及牛油果沙律,味道淡而無味,十分差!跟其外絕不配合。2. 主菜: M9牛面頰---- 很奇怪,明明在網上及雜誌的不同,原本應是一塊塊丁方size的牛肉,但今天吃的是wellington style,即是外層是蘇皮,裏面是切碎牛肉,質感不好,有點兒似用剩了的牛肉去做,還有丁點兒腥味,唔知點解?? 都是得個樣靚!3 甜品: 我點了 :夢幻朱古力---- 又係得個樣靚,上層是朱古力mousse,下層是十分奇怪的脆米餅( 似早歺吃的朱古力cereal),識食的open rice 朋友,聯想下這樣配撘会好吃嗎!如果下層是軟蛋糕或都是mouse,這道將會是ok的甜品朋友點了: 蘋果香梨撻配果仁雪糕: 唉.......十分差!完全不能登大雅之堂,根本不是撻,是一塊硬餅上加雪糕,味道差,賣相也差。***總結,環境一流(sea view),味道

As part of our recruitment efforts, I took the summer associate there for lunch. The summer was clearly very impressed. Set lunch is HK$360 per person, pretty reasonable compared to similar french restaurants. The decor was very nice and the view was very open. Overall, the impact value of this place was high and the food was great.

N.B. The receiptionist hasan urgent need to learn about courtesy. She should never address a client by their full name. It's a shame that she doesn't know that as she works for one of the hippest restaurants in Hong Kong.

It seemed befitting that a pre-Sex & the City 2 dinner should be the kind the Carrie and Mr. Big are used to. So reservations at The French Window were made.
It was my first time, and the transformation from Lumiere, a noisier place blending Sichuan and Brazilian drinks and food, to The French Window, a much quieter ambience but still with great views of the harbor, was pretty impressive. And traversing the long, dark corridor to get in lent some sense of arrival, since the restaurant is in a mall, albeit a fancy upmarket one.
Service was trained, friendly but not impeccable. The switch from Cantonese to English and back was a little odd. Perhaps it was us, since our table spoke both interchangeably. And sometimes, the interruption of table conversation wasn't all too smooth.

The bread basket or glass in this case was an impressive start. We tried virtually every single variety and liked to loved all of them. The cheese/onion twist and wheat baguettes were both particularly impressive.

Of our amuse bouche trio, we liked the mushroom cappuccino best. Not overly creamy, with a aromatic fragrance of the mushrooms coming through clearly but not pungently so. We sipped every last bit from the tiny glass. The other 2 - salmon terrine and liver mouse crostini were passable but ordinary.

The pan-seared foie gras with rhubarb and carrot confit, xeres sauce was delicious. Well seared to a crisp on the outside to seal the creaminess within. While the sauce was good, I didn't think the rhubarb and carrot combo worked. One was way too tart, and the other was a little too blah to lend itself to anything. The innovation didn't work for me and they would have done well to stick to something safer like apricots to do the piece of liver justice.

The seasonal fish, Bouillabaise style was a nice variety of snapper, sea bream, seared scallop and shrimp with potatoes and carrots. The fish stew (not poured in picture yet) was full of sea-goodness although not amazing - I've had better. Snapper was very well done although the same could not be said for the sea bream, which was a little overcooked and fishy. Overall, not bad if eaten with the stew but the seafood on its own could have been fresher. Especially with my recent experience at Gattopardo (http://edeats.blogspot.com/2010/05/singapore-gattopardo.html), the Bouillabaise here definitely paled in comparison.

The other main course which I tried was the M9 Wagyu tenderloin, stuffed tomatoes, ratatouille, vinegar sauce was again, good but not great. The cut of beef was not well marbled and the separation of beef and fat was too obvious, making some parts tough and others too greasy. A little disappointing especially for the price. A similarly priced dish at Steik World Meats (http://edeats.blogspot.com/2010/04/hong-kong-steik-world-meats.html) got me a much better cut and taste. The accompanying stuffed tomatoes with ratatouille in vinegar sauce was also too blah.
Overall, a decent enough ambience to take business partners or dates, but it won't be a place I'd be rushing back to soon. For the price, there are better food options. Even the same Miramar Group's Whisk (http://edeats.blogspot.com/2010/03/hong-kong-whisk.html) at the Mira Hotel, I thought, was way better value and taste. We weren't inspired enough to have dessert but if the petit fours were anything to go by, we may not have missed much.

補回數月前一頓午餐的食評...French Window 給我第一個印象是大門口的長長走廊, 燈光暗暗黃黃, 穿過走廊進入用餐居後, 一整排落地玻璃把陽光映入眼裡, 雖然當日天氣不算晴朗, 但仍然有精神一振的效果. 座位被安排於窗旁, 有靚景陪同進餐, 味道肯定加分!!先來了鮮橙汁和香檳, 喚醒還有 holiday mood 的味蕾!! 點了特別節日午餐, 一共有6度菜, 另有咖啡, 茶, 每位HK$688.00, 以這裡的收費應該算抵食 內容豐富的麵包藍, 牛油亦細心地分開了鹽和無鹽兩種, 可因應口味選擇. 一邊吃著麵包,喝喝香檳, 欣賞維港風景, 兩個人互相拍照, 等食的時間飛快便過了 第1度菜是歡迎小食 Amuse Bouche, 外表像兩顆綠色小瓜果, 原來內裡是蝦肉做的涵料, 入口清新, 十足蝦的鮮味, 絕對有「逗嘴巴開心」的效果~第2度是味道濃郁的 Cep Mushroom Cappuccino, 奶油加濃味蘑菇泡製而成的湯, 我覺得OK, 但女友感覺太CREAMY…第3度原本是黑松露配鵝肝, 但女友不吃內臟, 經理體貼地為她轉了一個蝦料理; 先說黑松露配鵝肝, 黑松露的鮮

先來了鮮橙汁和香檳, 喚醒還有 holiday mood 的味蕾!! 點了特別節日午餐, 一共有6度菜, 另有咖啡, 茶, 每位HK$688.00, 以這裡的收費應該算抵食

內容豐富的麵包藍, 牛油亦細心地分開了鹽和無鹽兩種, 可因應口味選擇. 一邊吃著麵包,喝喝香檳, 欣賞維港風景, 兩個人互相拍照, 等食的時間飛快便過了

第1度菜是歡迎小食 Amuse Bouche, 外表像兩顆綠色小瓜果, 原來內裡是蝦肉做的涵料, 入口清新, 十足蝦的鮮味, 絕對有「逗嘴巴開心」的效果~
第2度是味道濃郁的 Cep Mushroom Cappuccino, 奶油加濃味蘑菇泡製而成的湯, 我覺得OK, 但女友感覺太CREAMY…
第3度原本是黑松露配鵝肝, 但女友不吃內臟, 經理體貼地為她轉了一個蝦料理; 先說黑松露配鵝肝, 黑松露的鮮味配搭鵝肝的鮮甜, 入口即溶的口感, 好感動~ 蝦料理是先把蝦肉先煎一煎, 再被一絲絲的配料包著, 之後再炸, 形成這個外脆內鮮的料理, 女友很喜歡.
第4度是黑松露忌廉龍蝦雲吞, 龍蝦肉很彈口, 味道鮮甜, 伴著黑松露和滑溜的雲吞皮進食, 滿足舌頭每一寸的需求

第5度是菌類釀鵪鶉, 不記得是甚麼菌了, 但味道很清甜, 把它們釀入鵪鶉裡面, 先煎後焗炮製出這度主菜, 鵪鶉肉混和菌類很配合, 互動地牽引出對方的鮮味, 連帶伴碟的青豆雜碎都很好吃, 把法國菜強調的食物層次表露無遺.
最後1度菜是女友期待萬分的甜品, 用香檳杯裝著類似朱古力雪榚的東西, 外面圍著一層空氣似的醬汁, 朱古力十分濃郁, 醬汁輕輕中和朱古力的甜味, 雖然我已經吃得十二分飽, 但還是儘量在胃裡騰出空間容納這美味甜品. 反觀女友仍然從容不迫地一口一口把甜品解決... "不飽嗎?" 禁不住詢問女友, "吃甜品是用第二個胃的~" 很冷靜地回應...

最後我點了咖啡用作幫助消化, 咖啡味道亦很香濃, 很適合用作一頓美味午餐的休止符.
P.S. : 因是數月前的記事, 餐廳可能已經更改了菜單.

Mommy asked me to pick a restaurant to celebrate and since I got a birthday coupon from AMEX, French Window has become an obvious choice to have a relaxed while refreshing meal.

Didn't note down the special easter menu but there were 1 to 3 choices for each of the 4 courses. We ordered:

Bell pepper sorbet served with baby carrot and zucchini

The sorbet is refreshing and doesn't have any grassy flavour. It is lightly sweetened and goes well with the diced zucchini and baby carrot. Totally prepared your taste buds for coming dishes

Poached organic eggs with asparagus

The egg is the showcase of the chef's skill. It is cooked to perfection and you would still see the yolky heart. The asparagus is a nice balance to the egg and lighten the fulling feeling brought by the egg

Cream of mushroom soup

The cream is smooth and with a strong mily flavour. I do find it a little bit too strong though different types of mushroom, especially the porcini gives the soup a special twist.

Waygu beef cheek

The beef is glazed with a special type of teriyaki sauce. Unlike the regular teriyaki sauce, it has a caramelized taste and is very delicious. Beef is of a high quality type and very tender, even it's fully cooked.

Sea bass risotto

Tender fish and the risotto is well cooked. Not too mushy or raw. The mozzarella cheese has a great smell and your nose has been eating before you dig in.

Strawberry tart

Custard of the tart is smooth and fluffy. Many cake shops make their custard too sweet and hard. The crush is eggy and crunchy, very well prepared.

Chocolate senation

Basically, it's chocolate mousse wrapped by chocolate crisp. It's one of the best chocolate mousse I've ever tried in Hong Kong, and it's better than many 5-star hotel's restaurants.

Service is good but definitely have rooms to improve. Compared to the french restaurant I visited in Montreal or Paris, it is just a tit below par.

A hiccup of the meal is that the first risotto served to us has a hair. The waiter was very professional, sincerely apologized and replaced it for my mom.

FYI, with the coupon, each of us have a class of free wine and a dessert chosen by you. Both my mom and I picked the chocolate sensation. You may want to adjust the expected spending.

The wife was running a little late so I settled down at the table with a not-quite-chilled-enough vodka martini.

The wife was running a little late so I settled down at the table with a not-quite-chilled-enough vodka martini. A waiter offered me a couple of magazines to read while I waited, which I thought was a nice touch. Having already scoped out the menu online, we decided on the degustation tasting menu (HK$800) – and I opted for the wine pairing too (for an additional HK$600). Another nice touch was that our waiter offered to split the wine pairing in two (i.e. give us both small glasses with each course). Fortunately the wife is breast feeding so I got to keep them all to myself!

First thing to arrive was an amuse bouche consisting of a cherry tomato with a somewhat ordinary aubergine puree, a clichéd shot of pumpkin soup that would have benefited from a lot more seasoning, and a quite tasty (though tiny) amount of foie gras sandwiched between crispy melba toast. Now, my understanding of an amuse bouche is that it’s supposed to excite and awaken the taste buds for the feast to come - these looked stunning but failed to deliver on flavour. Frankly, at this point I didn’t have high hopes for the rest of the meal. However, I’m very pleased to report that things got significantly better from here!

The first real course of meal was the Blue fin tuna tartar. It was exactly as it should be – simple, clean-tasting, and super fresh. It was matched with a fine crisp Sauvignon Blanc that had a fantastic ‘appley’ finish. Next up was a seared scallop on green cabbage with black truffle sauce. Sweet scallop with earthy truffle was a perfect combination. I wish there had been more. This was matched with a decent sweet Riesling – although I’d have preferred dry wine with the sweetness of the scallop. It’s worth noting that the courses were served at a fair clip – despite the fact that the restaurant wasn’t very busy. Perhaps a little slower would have been better. The last of the entrees was polenta with cep mushrooms and parsley butter. This was insanely rich but absolutely yummy and the wine pairing (a pinot noir bursting with berries) was by far the best of the night. On to the main course of Wagyu beef cheek with carrot confit. Meltingly soft meat with sweet, sweet carrots – it was absolutely scrumptious. The Bordeaux that came with it was big and bold – another solid match.

Next up: dessert. Now I’m not a big pudding fan so I was rather chuffed that I was able to swap mine for cheese. My wife enjoyed the selection of elegant little sweets while I tucked into a choice of three great cheeses with buttered toast. The dessert wine didn’t really work for me though – perhaps if I’d stuck to the original menu it would have been a better match. We finished up with coffee and Petites fours – a lovely way to round off the meal.

The verdict: the food, on the whole, was very good – tasty and visually stunning. Portions are small but there was, without doubt, sufficient volume (we both left the restaurant full but not bursting). The service was truly outstanding – the best I’ve had in Hong Kong. Value for money? That’s relative, I guess. The bill weighed in at an eye-watering HK$2676 for two with only one person drinking! Would I go back? For a special occasion, I think I probably would. I need to let my wallet recover a bit first though.

十一月下旬‧晴 無論你是否同意香港是否一個國際大都會,這裡也是個精彩的美食之地。至少米芝蓮在進入大陸任何一個地方之前,也先來登陸香港。而作為這樣的一個城市,先不論食物質素,中下價的食肆數量是夠多的,但論高級食肆,數目就偏少。單論高級的法國餐廳,舊年只加入一間CÉPAGE,今年又加入一間,就是這裡。 其實這裡跟CÉPAGE也不是全沒關係,只因這裡的餐廳顧問 ~ Justin Quek。這個名字由Les Amis開始,一直到現時的Whisk及現在的The French Window,也是行中的名氣輩。Justin作為餐廳顧問,伙拍年僅23歲的大廚Mickael le Calvez,效果是什麼樣的?也令人期待。找了一個周五晚上,來試試這裡的廚師推介菜單。 餐單分八道菜及五道菜的選擇,價錢分別是1280及780,而當中的菜色選擇也不盡相同,為了能完全的試勻廚師的推介菜色,就每人吃一邊吧。 侍酒師John過來打招呼,由從前的Spoon到CÉPAGE到這裡,也可真的說是見慣見熟了。選了支Marcel Deiss的99年Grand Cru,很好喝跟是晚輕鬆的氣氛也很配合。 說真的,吃了兩個廚師推介的

無論你是否同意香港是否一個國際大都會,這裡也是個精彩的美食之地。至少米芝蓮在進入大陸任何一個地方之前,也先來登陸香港。而作為這樣的一個城市,先不論食物質素,中下價的食肆數量是夠多的,但論高級食肆,數目就偏少。單論高級的法國餐廳,舊年只加入一間CÉPAGE,今年又加入一間,就是這裡。

其實這裡跟CÉPAGE也不是全沒關係,只因這裡的餐廳顧問 ~ Justin Quek。這個名字由Les Amis開始,一直到現時的Whisk及現在的The French Window,也是行中的名氣輩。Justin作為餐廳顧問,伙拍年僅23歲的大廚Mickael le Calvez,效果是什麼樣的?也令人期待。找了一個周五晚上,來試試這裡的廚師推介菜單。

餐單分八道菜及五道菜的選擇,價錢分別是1280及780,而當中的菜色選擇也不盡相同,為了能完全的試勻廚師的推介菜色,就每人吃一邊吧。

侍酒師John過來打招呼,由從前的Spoon到CÉPAGE到這裡,也可真的說是見慣見熟了。選了支Marcel Deiss的99年Grand Cru,很好喝跟是晚輕鬆的氣氛也很配合。

說真的,吃了兩個廚師推介的餐單,感覺上是毫不特別。如做成千層糕狀的黑魚籽煙三文魚烤餅(Salmon club Blinis, Lemon Cream, Caviar)賣相滿分,吃起來卻不見突出。生牛肉薄切配松露鵝肝(Beef Carpaccio Rosstgny)也是這裡的招牌菜之一,卻給濃味的鵝肝醬主導一切。安格斯牛柳韃靼配烤薄餅(Angus Super Prime Beef Tartare, Pizzeta )味道更是令人失望的。

不在這邊寫太多,是一個非常長盡的食評,想看是晚二十道菜的相片及我對它們的足本食評,請參考下列網誌:

http://gourmetkc.blogspot.com/2010/01/french-window.html

可能米芝蓮人來吃,會有不同的表現或招呼,強如Caprice,在招待一般客人,也會失之交臂。吃過這一晚,我覺得在香港這裡也可以是CÉPAGE的級數。但如果在外國,就算是東京或大板而言,是應該不能擠身頂級之列。

我很喜歡的一支白酒

I must say 'French Window' offers excellent service with the perfect dose of attention. The decoration is, however a bit too elegant and proper [with high ceiling] . . . ambience is mellow but far from exciting.
My friend and I tried the 4 courses tasting menu costing HK$800 [without wine pairing].
Bread basket is average, and so was the amuse bouche.
The 1st course, blue fin tuna tarter was generous, fresh and very delicious!

The 2nd course, pan-seared scallop was also delicious, but the black truffle sauce was a bit tasteless and unimpressive.

The 3rd course, polenta cream paste was above average and generous.

The main course, Wagyu cheek was cooked to perfection, though not innovative.

We choose an additional cheese course to share, costing only HK$160 for 3 very high quality French cheese from the trolley.

However, the last and the least, we're utterly disappointed with the dessert degustation, coffee and petit fours!!!!!

Corkage is HK350 per bottle of wine. I suggest you should still bring your own fine wine as the wine list's fine wines are all very young, therefore not ready to be drunk yet.

Food is very average, though the decoration is nice and staff is attentive. My wife and I order a la carte. Nothing knocked us out, though nothing was bad. We had beef tartar and smoked salmon as starter, and lobster two-ways and quail for main. The lobster two-way was the only one memorable with the laksa soup. However, the cheese was very good. Like the early writer, the Comte was very good. There is nothing wrong with quality, just nothing stood out. In fact, I am pretty sure they use very

Like the early writer, the Comte was very good.

There is nothing wrong with quality, just nothing stood out. In fact, I am pretty sure they use very good ingredients e.g. the quail was actually very “gamey” in contrast to the normal tasteless quail that we often get in HK.

Of the recent newer restaurant we had been to, this is behind Cafe Gary. And if memory serves me tight, it is also behind Robuchon and Caprice.

Good view and probably good enough for a special occasion dinner, but we won’t be back.
