ROOTS (已結業)

第一次經過日街呢間”Roots”嘅時候 以為係加拿大出名嘅服裝品牌喺香港開嘅分店😂😂再望真啲先知道原來係一間西式餐廳⠀⠀雖然餐廳位置唔算容易搵 但原來平日午飯時侯都幾多人 餐廳提供嘅菜式大約有10款 只有 “Weekday Lunch Specials”而沒有套餐 要將主菜升級成為套餐嘅話就要加錢 (2 or 3 course)⠀⠀▫️US Hormone Free Flank Steak, Roasted Cauliflower, Rocket, Carbonara (HKD148)牛扒肉質鮮美 意粉夠彈牙 又夠多蛋汁 不過唔鍾意食芝士嘅人就未會叫呢款意粉 因為芝士味好濃烈 味道係芝士本身嘅鹹味⠀⠀▫️ Portobello Cheese Fondue Tartine, Sunny side egg (HKD118)一塊麵包上放了一啲蘑菇 一隻煎蛋 味道好普通 $118呢個價錢真係唔多值⠀⠀另外加錢要咗個是日餐湯/沙津 (+$20) 甜品(+$20)都係另加錢做套餐先有嘅⠀⠀初初覺得店內環境算唔錯 樓底夠高俾人嘅感覺唔會好侷促 以為樓底高就算坐滿人都唔會好嘈雜 點知我完全錯晒😂😂午飯時候

聽朋友介紹嚟試呢間位於日街嘅fusion菜！如果唔係蒲開港島區嘅朋友可能會有少少難搵。餐廳唔算大，但都坐得舒服。事不宜遲，立即介紹下食咗啲咩！😀首先，snacks叫咗lotus roots chips。係蓮藕薯片配左guacamole。我地四個女仔食啱啱好，但係醬嘅份量偏少，未食晒啲chips已經冇晒醬。🙂之後starters叫咗beef tartare同foie gras stuffed chicken wings。Beef tartare都唔錯，純粹我冇食過一個令我驚艷嘅生牛肉，所以不嬲都冇太大興趣🤷🏻‍♀️ Foie gras stuffed chicken wings有驚喜，配上sweet and sour sauce酸酸甜甜，中和返鵝肝，食落冇咁嘅油膩。 但如果女仔食嘅話，建議兩人share一份，因為上嘅時候已經將雞翼切開兩份，食哂都幾滯。緊接到Main course！呢個時候真係越食越失望！叫咗French spring chicken with glutinous rice同sea urchin spaghetti with lobster。首先講吓個雞，冇特別，相都廢事影

聽朋友介紹去呢間法國fusion 香港菜。其實食物方面都還可以既, 例如所謂代表菜式, 法國春雞配上味飯底,味道係幾好, 好有廟街排檔味道，不過收差不多$400。 其他幾樣菜式都係差呢類做法，法式加少少粵菜既材料。但有樣野佢地就好有地道特色啦，雖然收緊貴過酒店既價錢但係比到大排檔既服務比你。由其是其中一位重量級女服務員，行埋黎已經好有氣勢。點左兩個main course 後，呢位阿姊即以澳牛式語氣提示我地叫得野少，同埋話加單會好耐架。食完main course ，問佢攞個dessert menu 睇，望左大約兩分鐘，阿姊即時又催促我地，你地要dessert就快手啦，我8:30要收枱俾人㗎。(當時8點)。 我都係第一次食法國菜得到如此粗魯的對待，登時嘆為觀止。最後埋單四位都要二千幾，真係做到價格高檔，服務低檔。

Beautiful restaurant, the front was decorated almost to a stage setting with the Christmas wreath and spotlights. The inside was pretty too, except there was a long beam of light on the walls which made the person sitting facing the wall to have that bright laser of light in their face all evening. Lotus chips were crispy, there wasn't enough guacamole. The fois gras stuffed chicken wing was ok, juicy.The prawn toast was very little toast but a flavorful fried prawn with salmon roe on top. With

日街靜靜的，是個不錯的吃飯地方。餐牌不多選擇，簡單易選。Lotus Roots Chip炸得香口而不油膩。配蕃茄粒、洋蔥碎和牛油果醬，幾清新。Shrimp Toast普通，蝦咬下去有點乾硬，似蝦乾。多士只有外圍脆，中間韌。配暖暖的三文魚籽，添點汁和濕度。Comte and Goat Cheese, honey madelaines全晚最好吃。兩種芝士口感，配小蛋糕，幾有趣。Roasted Heirloom Root Vegetable Salad幾爽，但不合口味，全碟打包。Foie Gras stuffed chicken wings見到配sweet and sour sauce, 跟油份幾夾，原來是蕃茄汁，零特別。釀了鵝肝的雞翼，一切下去，流出大量黃色的油，雞油加鵝肝油，超誇張。不理了，照吃，味道都可以。雞皮很脆。沒有點過汁，不需要。RibeyeMedium rare，煎得可以，中間深紅。不過肉的質素只屬一般，肉味普通。伴碟的菜莖乾硬，但葉焗得乾脆。Dark Chocolate牛奶雪糕奶味很濃，不錯。朱古力夠濃，不會太甜，餅底夠厚，都可以。鹹蛋黃撻夠特別，但味道麻麻，只有偶爾的鹹蛋黃

There were six of us and we had to go with the set menu. Considering the food we had, $500 was good value for money. The place was cozy and service was friendly. Corkage was $250/bottle. Snack:-Shrimp toast, house pickled onions, salmon roe: love this appetizer with the extra touch of roe on top the shrimp toast. -Chicken Liver Mousse, Iberico Ham, Honey Madeleines: sweet and savory combo. Liver and ham went well together. The Madeleine was spongy and moist.Starters:-Yunnan Morels In Soya Bean

第一碟炸蓮藕D油益味系一放低已經聞倒 以為自己聞錯 点知放洛口真系成陣萬年油味 店方試食話冇問題仲話D油係新换 咁好可能支油过左期第二碟龍虾得1/4 size 然後D伴菜劲油又燶最後碟rib eye一样系又油又多肥膏又燶 点解D菜同薯仔燶到黑色都好意思上比客榢

• Beef Tartare Yu Kwan Yick Style🌶•💵Price: $168🍴Food: 4/5❤️-不嬲都鐘意食beef tartare，因為鐘意佢生牛肉個質感同味道。平時食開既都係配甜甜地麻油香既sauce，或者酸酸地有洋蔥酸瓜既醬汁，今次呢款配著名既余均益牌辣椒醬既生牛肉他他就真係第一次試😯味道岀奇地夾，而因為入面都混合左酸瓜碎等配料，所以辣中帶微酸，然後撈埋面頭既生雞蛋食就更加口感滑溜又帶點嚼勁。• Spicy Creamy Local Clams with Black Bean Chive Oil🐚 •💵Price: $158🍴Food: 5/5❣️-呢個堅好食😍用上豉椒炒蜆既配料再加上橄欖油、椰汁等材料製作而成。蜆肉肥美鮮甜，個汁有東南亞菜式既味道，鹹香中帶點甜辣，食完個蜆再要黎點埋麵包就超正🤤-• Salted Egg Yolk Tofu Toast with Shaved Black Truffle🍞•💵Price: $198🍴Food: 4/5❤️-好特別既菜式！第一次嘗試呢個配搭，沾滿鹹蛋黃既豆腐粒配落鬆脆既烘多士上面，再加埋矜貴既黑松露片令成個製成品香

朋友生日指定要黎呢間Roots食生日飯，我地book左第2輪食8點。平時都中意閒逛日月星街，發掘多d具特色的創意小店、Café、餐廳等，在皇后大道東爬完一條又長又窄的樓梯就會到達日街，我地在街燈昏暗的小路上等候入座，特別有感覺。店内可以容納二十多人，全場滿座，大概等了15分鐘便入座。炸蓮藕脆片炸得金黃通透，少少苦味，後帶甘味，脆口而不膩，最適合做下酒菜。牛肉Tartare牛肉質感夠厚實，肉味香濃，再用上本地品牌余均益辣椒醬，酸香辣均衡，而牛肉Tartare上面的生雞蛋中和了辣味，感覺唔似食緊生牛肉haha，實在是很有趣的配搭！法式燒春雞配糯米飯再來法式燒春雞配糯米飯，完美地將本地粵菜元素混入法國菜內，春雞非常嫩滑，連雞胸都煮得好好味唔鞋口。糯米飯平時係酒樓食得多，今次呢種食法真係第一次，而且味道無酒樓咁濃味，反而有少少雞既鮮味，再食埋煲底的飯焦，脆卜卜無得頂。

Roots was a place that I was a bit interested in. A French Cantonese bistro run by someone who left her banking job to pursue a career as a chef. That is a dream I wish I was brave enough to do. One afternoon I decided to give it a try.It was full but they managed to fit me in at the window. During lunch time, they have  lunch menu. I can't really say it's a set because it's not. It's just what they serve during lunch time. What you get is a main. Appetizer, dessert and drinks are extra. Menu is

We dined here for Sunday brunch and enjoyed our meal. Our group ordered:- daily soup (vegetable soup)- silky scrambled eggs with sausage, toast, salad- Mediterranean shashuska with sausage, grilled cheese sandwich and salad- House Char Siu sandwich with avocado and saladThe soup was generously filled with vegetables. The scrambled eggs were lovely and the char Siu/avocado combination was also tasty. The shashuska (An egg/capsicum baked dish) had a subtle spice taste which was appreciated.The s

12:20來到，不用等位，但1點前就已經滿座了。環境氣氛很正，難怪大家經過都會有興趣。看著餐廳感覺特別，但其實都是常見的材料。午餐只有四個選擇。只有一個主菜，湯、飲品或甜品都要加錢，食物份量不大。價錢少少貴。Homemade char siu avocado sandwich with local organic salad牛油果加酸種麵包，配上叉燒。不是港式叉燒，薄切帶硬的豬肉。最大期望的一道，也是三個之中最不欣賞的一道。US Hormone free flank steak, roasted cauliflower, rocket, carbonara牛扒軟嫩，咀嚼時滲出油脂，不膩，很香，一流。意粉則沒甚特別，不是一般的卡邦尼，汁不多亦不厚，不會太滯。Roasted French spring chicken, local organic root vegetables and potato confit燒春雞的肉幾嫩，牛油汁配雞嫌略過油。Almond chocolate chip cookie with milk ice cream最喜歡甜品，杏仁朱古力曲奇很脆，甜度低，配帶鹹的

this beef tartare was too spicy for me since they’ve added siracha in it these chips tasted very bland but I guess it’s healthier that way?the kale chips cauliflower were good matches to these scallops the beef was pretty tender the chicken was very soft and the rice was delicious the store front is a great place for nice photos

It's a high stake game chefs play with fusion food - one slip and you end up serving confusion food.   This new Sino-French place may need to prove itself as my evening meal there ranked among one of the less memorable ones. I can barely remember what I had.   Other reviewer's photos helped my memory - the clams were strangely bland despite the spicy sauce and attractive colour, the sticky rice with chicken was quite heavy though the taste was OK, and the beetroot salad was super acidic.  

Reasonable price with good food and service. Warm welcome from the member of staff. Reasonable price with good quality. Dishes were design with a mixture of French and Chinese style, we have orders two starters with one main to share among two, as well as a bottle of white wine, the bill was approx1.5k which is good. Will revisit again.
