It was a random Wednesday night, we were looking for Italian or French cuisine and was reminded by a friend's recommendation to pick Belon, a neo Parisian style French restaurant. Heard it is pricy, definitely not the 200-400HKD range Openrice indicated... Well well, the decoration indeed reminds me about Paris but just everything is way too new - is this part of reason it is position itself as neo-Parisian? Kidding ;) We ordered 2 small starters (Hors d'Oeuvres), a starter (entrée) and a main

We ordered 2 small starters (Hors d'Oeuvres), a starter (entrée) and a main course (plate) for sharing. Also had a bottle of still water and 2 glasses of Alonso Del Yerro to pair with the food.
To start, we enjoyed the free refreshment Comte gougeres! Very nicely done!

There is a wide range of deletions of Hors d'Oeuvres: oysters, tartars, and some creative vegetarian options. We tried baked celery root with aged Comte and Artichoke "Bagna Cauda".
The Baked celery root is served with fresh Australian black truffle on top and Comte baked into the mix of celery roots, interesting pairing Fresh Australian black truffle, a bit bitter celery with strong and slightly sweet Comte cheese and aromatic black truffle - interesting pairing. $68 per person, nothing to complain at this price

Artichoke, although I have never been a fan of its unique taste and texture, a combination of celery and asparagus for the outer layers and eggplant for the heart part, we ordered it because the waiter recommended it as special dish for the restaurant ... I honestly regret ordered it

We had a luxury pick of the entree: foie gras "Perigourdine". The foie gras is good quality, almost A grade I think, firm texture, light coloured and rich and buttery taste, just size wise may not be the top tier (grade A typically is over 1 pound). Good paring with raspberry, seaweed and especially our choice of the Spanish DOC wine! Flavours are dancing in the mouth! Good wine paring can embrace foie gras, faulty paring (if wines are not powerful enough) would bring out the gamey smell of foie gras. However, I am not impressed by this dish at this price tag. Would simply go to Amber or Robuchon for their better work at similar price.

I have been long impressed by the photo of the pigeon pithivier dish and certainly ordered it as the plate choice. It was served for 2 of us separately and sauced with fig and amaretto. Pigeon meat was very tender and delicious! Quite innovative in terms of flavour mix and presentation.

We ordered too much to take desserts, overall a decent French dinner, but I would think twice whether I should pick this restaurant again given its Michelin 2-3 star tier price.
