An excellent 5 course seafood meal. Very relaxed atmosphere. Very reasonably priced degustation menu. I am told dinners can be a 1000$ affair. Every course had delicate and distinct favours. The aspsragus in a cucumber soup was excellent. The beetroot sorbet with a fresh cream macaroon was divine. The only downside was 350$ corkage for a bottle of wine.

The turbot was half the size and thickness of my palm while the pork belly came with rind so chewy that I couldn’t cut through it.
The amuse bouche? Not particularly amusing if they were just two fried white bait, edamame beans (which they forgot to give us) and onion rings ☹.
If it were not for the substantial amount of bread that came with the meal, I would have walked away hungry.
And what they say about lack of restrooms? Gf admitted she had to hold it in the entire meal for not wanting to venture outside the restaurant and making two left turns before using some carpark toilet. So yes...it's true. 
Set dinner of 4 courses for two, including a bottle of their cheapest red wine (which happens to be fizzy??) came to $1500.

This restaurant is a gem. They change their menu every month so great reason to be a frequent diner. This month their cucumber Ceviche with red snapper is a must try. Cucumber and snapper swimming in the cleanest of cucumber broths you could imagine. The flavours were divine.

This restaurant is a gem. They change their menu every month so great reason to be a frequent diner. This month their cucumber Ceviche with red snapper is a must try. Cucumber and snapper swimming in the cleanest of cucumber broths you could imagine. The flavours were divine. The scallops were another dish I would recommend and the small dab of yuzu Kosho (a citrus/spicy paste) was another discovery that tantalises taste buds. However the crown of their starters this month has to go to their Hen Egg in Bellota Bouillon. A beautifully poached egg floating enticingly in the pork flavoured broth that was so delicate it is perplexing to try to work out how they removed the usual saltiness that you expect from pork broths. I won’t spoil it by telling what the accompanying garnish on the plate - suffice to say, ask Guillaume and he will share you their secret. A truly beautiful dishThe pigeon from mains was also my favourite - cooked to perfection to maintain the game flavour that is synonymous with well served pigeon. The flesh was offset with the sweet note of beetroot that made you wish for more. The red mullet and cockles was "nice" and the cockles drizzled with a citrus shower were a great combination but given my experience with the meal so far, I was let down by the occasional sandiness that sometimes sneaks by undetected with serving cockles and clams. Unfortunately it therefore ran a close second to the pigeon.Their cheese platter was the perfect way to end the meal and for those of us not put off by earthy pungent cheese, take your time to savour their Livarot. Charles did explain what to expect and in true Livarot style I could smell the diary farm with every bite - it was fantastic.Wikipedia describes the cheese beautifully and it is not for the feint hearted but well worth the experience. Be bold and cap off the most wonderfully crafted dinner with a small sample of this unique cheese.Overall - these guys are artisans and their ability to craft a menu that combines flavours in the most memorable way will not disappoint you.

烤露筍上面簡單的放些菜芯花點綴已夠漂亮,燒烤做法也濃縮了蔬菜的味道,綑着露筍的咸香薄煙肉,則帶來油潤感及調味。温泉蛋拌着炸小白魚和墨汁粟米粒,一脆一甜,改變了温泉蛋的單調,不過浸着所有材料的湯頭,竟和一丁麻油湯有着99%的相似度?

主菜分Fish / Meat of the Day,侍應會在介紹Menu的時候一併道出今天有什麼可選及其做法。Fish of the Day在其實包涵了所有海鮮,今天有煎魚及魷魚。煎鯖魚賣相漂亮,雪白的魚肉上灑上木魚花及鮮黄花瓣,加上微辣醬汁,十分醒胃,和一般曰式鹽燒,再點酸醋的食法截然不同。而魷魚也做到嫩口彈牙,小椰菜又爽甜,沙樂美腸則作用不大,醬汁以酸甜為主,旁邊也撒些七味粉,貫徹了法日fusion感覺。

脆豬腩很明顯的見到層層相間,咬下去又香又不油,皮極鬆化,水準直逼中式燒腩仔,是西葡菜以外,烹製豬肉較出色的西式做法,黑色爽朗小木耳,添上本地風情及驚喜,亦勾起了我在倫敦Gordan Ramsay品嚐過的豬腩菜式的味覺回憶。不過,今天可能墨魚汁過剩,什麼也混入點。另外,放在碟旁孤孤清清的兩只小螄蚶,雖然鮮美,但有少許九唔搭八!

甜品可三選一,其中一款是鮮果沙律,故我們只揀取其餘兩項: Dacquoise 及 Chocolate Cream。Dacquoise比Macaron更鬆更輕,而且甜度減半,加上厚厚的Vanila cream 及少量杏仁脆糖,確實又香又滑又脆,勢將成為我至愛的法式點心。Chocolate Cream 表現一般,尚算有朱古力味,也不太甜,開心果仁則增強了口感及香氣!
置身於這法式小店,能讓人無拘無束的吃喝,輕鬆愜意!不過,若此三道菜午餐,包一杯咖啡茶,便較完整了。

Serge et le Phoque 是由世界級餐廳Le Chateaubriand 的老闆Frédéric Peneau 及來自巴黎Le Bigarrade 餐廳的廚師Christophe Pelé 開設的新餐廳,最近城中都有不少名人到訪。Serge et le Phoque 的裝潢簡潔又很有格調,食物方面主打簡單,美味,不花巧的法國菜。餐廳每一道菜的賣相都經精心設計,大部分菜式味道不錯,清新開胃,但有些卻牛油味過重,份量亦比較小。整體而言,餐廳很有自己的風格,但食物味道方面還可以有改善!

One of the current global dining trends is fine dining minus the stuffiness. Serge et le Phoque (meaning "Serge and the Seal" in French), the brainchild of a Parisien dream team of chef Frédéric Peneau (previously owner of Le Chateaubriand in Paris) and chef Christophe Pelé (previously of La Bigarrade in Paris), embraces this concept by serving sophisticated French cuisine in a casual, relaxed setting.

Located in the heart of Wanchai, this sleek, sign-less new restaurant forms a stark contrast with its surrounding wet market, butchers and fish mongers. With its whitewashed tiled walls and plywood furniture, the decor of this eatery is minimalistic and calming.

There was no à la carte menu and only a set dinner, priced at $550 for 4 courses (with no service charge), was availabale. This price was not excessive, but it is worth noting that a 6-course dinner at Le Chateaubriand (which has been on the list of World's 50 Best Restaurants for 5 years) costs less than this. Most of the staff were French, and they were helpful and attentive, and were in fact much friendlier than waiters in Paris in general.

A bowl of boiled edamame beans was placed on our table, and we enjoyed this simple and tasty amuse bouche.

(1) The first course that arrived was Leche de Tigre, Cuttlefish, Raspberry. This dish was bright and refreshing thanks to the tiger's milk, a Peruvian citrus marinade usually used for ceviches, and the raspberries added a lovely fruity note.

(2) The Hen egg, Corn, Squid Ink, Fish Tempura delivered a lasting impression, with the perfectly poached egg being dressed in an enticing, umami-rich squid ink sauce. The corn paired well with the egg, and the fried fish was deliciously crunchy.

(3) Some rye bread was brought to us after the appetisers had been served, and both the aromatic bread and the cold, salted butter were thoroughly enjoyable.

(4) During the wait between the appetisers and the main courses (which lasted around thirty minutes), the chef sent out two pieces of fried frog's legs cooked in beurre noisette (burned butter) and lime juice for each of us. These were indulgently tender, and the hint of tartness was transcending.

(5) Our mains finally arrived, but we wished these were as good as the appetisers that preceded. The Pork Belly, Clams, Tarragon was underwhelming - despite having an inch-thick layer of fat, the pork belly was neither smooth nor soft, and the clams tasted a bit stale/ fishy.

(6) The Scallops, Almond Butter, Yuzu Kosho, Matcha Tea was nicely buttery, with a spicy yuzu paste which helped cut through the richness. The sprinkling of matcha powder, however, only added a bit of green colour to the dish and was otherwise not detectable in taste.

(7) The Amadei, Chinese Kale, Razor Clam, Green Apple was acceptable. The half-cooked amadei was admirably springy and tender, and was lifted by a tart, fruity sauce. The razor clams, however, were in want of seasoning, and the Chinese kale was buttery but not particularly tasty.

It is perhaps the pedigree of the team, the sleek decor and the novel dining concept that have made this restaurant a fashionable haunt in Hong Kong where famous people can be seen. The food, however, while beautifully constructed and presented, was taste-wise slightly uninspiring. Hopefully the kitchen can more effectively translate their brilliant ideas into gorgeous flavours in the future!

I took my parents here last night, it seemed like a good combo of a cozy space with elegant food. It did deliver on both those counts, but unfortunately fell short on others...

The restaurant interior is warmly lit, and the decor is simple but inviting. We went for dinner on a weekday and there was a big group having a birthday party, as well as smaller groups ensconced in booths, but it didn't feel too loud or busy at all.

Then came the menu. The price has gone up now to $550, for 4 courses, which I thought a little steep for what I'd expected would be a relatively low-key meal in Wanchai. The real problem is the Main Course portions - almost smaller than the appetizers and gone in a few bites! They are the type of tiny portions I would expect of a 7- or 8-course meal. Everyone was a little disappointed (and hungry...).

To be fair, the food was generally good with some real highlights. Thon-A (actually tuna tartare) with Sea Urchin got enthusiastic reviews, and the Hen Egg in Jamon broth was another interesting and tasty appetizer. My main course of Red Mullet was beautifully grilled (though it could easily fit in the palm of my hand), and topped with delicate slices of radish. For dessert, the Vanilla Dacquoise and Chocolate Tart were rich and satisfying. Everything was fabulously plated.

Charles is the host and he's perfectly charming and knowledgable. However, the other servers are what I'd consider of the typical standard in Hong Kong - pleasant but not really attentive or on the ball. After the cheese course, no one came to take our order for dessert. At all. We finally had to flag down a server. 

I'm torn about whether I would go back, hopefully they make improvements to the portions and service over the coming months.

Serge et Le Phoque is not a household name when it comes to French cuisine in Hong Kong. At least not yet. But it's slowly gaining momentum. Led by Frédéric Peneau, the former co-owner of Le Chateaubriand in Paris, a top 50 restaurant in the world, Serge et Le Phoque is quietly rounding into form.

The kitchen is in the very capable hands of Christophe Pelé, the former owner-chef of La Bigarrade who is best known for creating an ever-changing menu with surprising combinations and beautiful presentations.

Lunch set starts at HK$220 a piece in case you are wondering.

 beetroot, quail egg, anchovy, 3/5
Lunch started brightly with a lovely salad dish of beetroot and melon served with a quail egg and anchovy on the side. This was a classic example of Chef Christophe Pelé's great presentation skills which have made him one of the best young chefs during his days at La Bigarrade. I won't say that it tasted overwhelmingly delicious but it certainly helped to set the tone for a refreshing start to this lunch.

 salmon, miso, trio, seaweed, 3.5/5
Our first main course was a salmon fillet that was marinated with miso before being pan seared to medium-well. The texture was very tender with the inside still slightly raw.

I thought the salmon fillet was nicely prepared and the Japanese connection with miso and seaweed was truly clever.

 yuzu, mango curd, 4/5
We were glad to finally see some "proper" containers used for our desserts. It was a little weird seeing a Chinese tea cup with cucumber jelly last time!

Our dessert, a yuzu foam with vanilla flavored panna cotta and mango curd was one of the more successful dish from this lunch. The depth of flavors sent our taste buds on a sweet journey leaving us with an ever-lasting impression.

NO PICTURES OR LONG DESCRIPTIONS FOR FOOD - BETTER YOU ENJOY WHEN YOU VISIT

This was my second visit for dinner over the past two months. On both occassions, I found the food and the service well-executed. I would recommend this venue to those looking for alternative options to the standard fare in the SoHo area. The menu has ~5-6 option each for Appetizers, Mains, and Dessert for HK$450. Amouz-Bouche and cheese plates are included. As stated in posts by other diners, the portions are relatively small, but are well thought out. I am not a heavy eater, so portion size was not an issue. Sometimes less is more.No need for a long discription of the food items. All three dishes + the cheese were excellent in my view. These were simple but well-executed dishes with more on the menu that I wanted to try.As for the service, there are a couple of French + one America waiter working the front of house. I would argue the service is decent but not excellent. One almost feels as if the chefs brought their friends in to join the party. Its nice, admittedly as a foreigner, to have Western service in HK. However, a slightly more organized service would be appreciated. Service is not included.Ambiance. The restaurant is very open with large glass windows facing the street. I would call it warehouse style. I enjoyed the atmosphere and found it easy to hold a conversation. There is a place for drinks before or after dinner that is part of the main dining room. As mentioned, the toilet is around the corner in the car park. It is clean, but there are always trade offs to keep the cost of rent down.Wine List - had a good mix of wines from France at a variety of price points, which is appreciated. I enjoyed the Pinot Noir I had. If wine is your thing, you might BYOBHK$600 / head based on set menu, one drink, and tip.

Housed amidst the centre of Wanchai's wet market and unlike other Michelin-star restaurants, it stood out with its own style - earth-toned setting and mirrors on the wall, down-to-earth decor to give a welcoming ambience. I just had a superb lunch at Steirereck in Vienna, which ranked the 9th best restaurant of The World's 50 Best, so I actually booked Serge et le Phoque with high expectations. My friend and I arrived early and we were led to the 'montaigne' side.

It currently provides a 3-course dinner with different options at $490 per person without service charge and an supplementary cheese course with an addition of $80. While skimming through the menu, we realized the major ingredients were very Japanese. We got the  xplanation that it would be nice to source from France; however, due to the long haul flight, ingredients would not be as fresh as they should be when they arrived in Hong Kong. Thus in Asia, the best ingredients would have to be sourced from Japan, to preserve the freshness and quality of the cooked dishes. We were given a small plate of edamame.

The dinner started with two appetizers - Asparagus, Miso, Orange, Rocket, Mandarin, Black Olive, Poutargue and Spinach, Hazelnuts, Onion, Sesame Juice, Goat Cheese, Grapefruit. When the two dishes were brought to us,  I could already smell its different ingredients. Though I would say the Japanese influence here was rather significant, every bite of the asparagus was a delight. Usually asparagus tended to have a milder taste, but this time its freshness was accentuated with slight hints of miso and mandarin. Totally made me look forward to digging into the next dish of greens. The spinach dish was prepared with two types of spinach, the green and purple species. It was quite interesting, that bits and pieces of crunchy hazelnuts brought out the sweetness that usually only existed in a dessert. It was also prepared with another kind of citrus - grapefruit, to lift my appetite for the upcoming courses. Different flavors (citrus with miso, citrus with sesame juice & hazelnut) and 
textures struck us with a perfect balance.

For mains, we had Scallops, Cantabria Anchovies, Green Tea, Yuzu Kosho and Beef, Shitake, Sake, Padron, Red Onion Juice, Chives, Potato Puree. The portion seemed a little small but it was just right for us girls. The scallops were slightly seared, that the chewiness of scallops was well maintained. Yuzukosho - a paste made from chili peppers and yuzu peel, offered a touch of punchiness to the mildly sweet scallops.

The beef was sake-marinated, with lots of shitake mushrooms on top. I loved the aroma of the mushrooms infusing into every take-in of my beef. It was cooked medium that the tenderness remained. Even the silky smooth potato puree was lovely, I could feel the mashed potatos along with butter and milk melted in my palate.

Certainly dinner could not have ended without desserts. We had Mango, Safran, Tarragon, Passion Fruit and Chocolate Cream, Pistachio. The Mango dessert was refreshing, especially after our beef dish, but pertained to the slightly sour spectrum for my liking. While the chocolate dessert was more of my taste - creamy, rich with crispy pistachio sprinkling on top. Originally I thought it was going to be a light meal, but thanks to the chocolate, it filled up my quota for extra calories and fat.

It was overall a satisfying meal, that dishes were nicely prepared and presented. It was evident that the chef has placed his emphasis on the ingredients, to maintain its originality and simplicity but played well at mixing seemingly irrelevant ingredients together. I would love to come back again and check out their newly experimented dishes. Monsieur Pelletier was indeed knowledgeable in explaining the dishes, and his service was great. However, it might take some time for other servers to provide the same kind of service level that Pelletier did. Our bottle of water was taken away while there was actually still some left. Music was a little too loud and I reckoned it would have been better if they played some soft French songs or jazz to suit the casual dining scene which they have been wanting to create. Well, I still have high hopes for the restaurant/ bistro and I look forward to returning after its metamorphasis.

同朋友一行五人去試這間新店 ,首先感覺裝修求其,有点趕開幕旳感覺!係,香港租金貴,早些開店是正常!不過waiters的招呼就好像不太專業把我們放在另外一班吾識的人一齊!老實說,花費三千元仲要搭枱!真是不能接受!食物出奇地小型、味道是可以的但也不是很出色餐廳是由兩位法國米之連大廚主持不過賣相味道均一般!那個意大利飯很香,不過太生根本吃不下、最後只好叫廚師煮熟一点可能中國人吃不了這些法國生飯!主菜的牛肉跟黑色汁又是怪怪的不可以說差、但一定不是好甜品則有多種,吾錯!不過五人洗三千元錢吃這些東西則有点不值我心中好的法國飺,還是伝統高級的這些所謂新派、實在有點另類!留給另一班怪吃人仕

首先感覺裝修求其,有点趕開幕旳感覺!
係,香港租金貴,早些開店是正常!

不過waiters的招呼就好像不太專業
把我們放在另外一班吾識的人一齊!
老實說,花費三千元仲要搭枱!
真是不能接受!

食物出奇地小型、味道是可以的
但也不是很出色
餐廳是由兩位法國米之連大廚主持
不過賣相味道均一般!

那個意大利飯很香,不過太生
根本吃不下、最後只好叫廚師煮熟一点
可能中國人吃不了這些法國生飯!

主菜的牛肉跟黑色汁又是怪怪的
不可以說差、但一定不是好

甜品則有多種,吾錯!
不過五人洗三千元錢吃這些東西則有点不值

我心中好的法國飺,還是伝統高級的
這些所謂新派、實在有點另類!
留給另一班怪吃人仕

This is my first review on openrice but I have been so pissed off by this restaurant I decided to register and share my anger.
I went to this restaurant with friends (mostly French) for the "unofficial opening" a few weeks ago. They were proposing a 6 courses menu for HKD 450. We thought it was a good deal and went in. We were sooooo wrong...
We are used to good western food since we are young and we were so disappointed first by the food, then by the service and finally by the price.
Food was either not well cooked or a real joke! First course, a piece of ciabatta as big as a thumb with olive oil... How dare you calling it a course? Then fried fishes... Taste was so so but the worst is that they gave us a plate to share for three people. The table next to us had the same quantity but they were two only. Frankly I was glad not to sit at this big table with five people... they got only one plate to share as well.
The risotto was not properly cooked (still crunchy, even hard to eat). The tiny piece of beef with literally 20 grains of corn and squid ink was a joke and I will not even describe the dessert which was a nightmare. Only one dish on the 6 proposed was good (the squid). The wine list was almost zero at that time and we were proposed to go for an organic wine which was almost as sparkling as Champagne. In front of such a limited choice we wanted to bring our own bottle and pay a corkage fee but we were told it was not accepted in this place…
Despite this first bad impression, I decided to give it another try recently. The final menu including three courses is now available and quite expensive (HKD 490) and if you want meat (lamb or beef) as a main course then you may add another HKD 80-100. The service was as poor as at the first try (the waiter does not even know all ingredients of a dish when he describes it to you. He has to run to the kitchen and ask the chef).
The food tasted ok if we do not take into consideration the avocado which was hard as a rock in the starter. However the quantity they offer is just a joke. Frankly, the squid cooked with "saucisson du Tarn" would just be acceptable as a starter and some of us are still looking for the piece of "saucisson" in their plate. The lamb chop was so small they probably took it on a two weeks old lamb. I had a glance on the table next to us. One of the customers took the scallops as a main, my god this one must still be starving now as she got only two scallops with a bit of green and half a potato on the side…. Portions were so small we asked how much it would cost to add an additional main course (the beef) complaining it would never be enough and we were told HKD 360 (my god!!! HKD 360 for literally a maximum of 150g of beef, 2 mushrooms and half a potato!!). Forget about it!
The cheese platter (for an additional 80HKD) at the end will definitely not fill you in and only the "Baba au Rhum" looks like a proper dessert. In the end almost HKD 600 per head with no wine and my only thought was: "where can I find a quick bite in the surroundings at 9.30pm?".
The wine list is quite poor with unknown references (except one Burgundy at HKD 1800). We decided to go for a beer until we realize they only have corona or a French white beer available (who the hell will drink a Corona with French food?). One of us took a red wine by the glass and it seems they do not have any proper wine tasting glasses. The recipient reminded me of these low quality glasses they serve in lower class regional cafe's. Finally water for everyone was fine.
Another interesting detail about this restaurant which pretends to serve "haute cuisine" and propose high quality service: if you ask for the restrooms you will be invited to use the dirty restrooms of a car park nearby. This is just a lack of respect for the clients.
In a nutshell, if you feel like paying a lot for very small portions, if you like being ripped off and if you love the feeling that people serving you food just care about your money…this place is for you.
The concept of opening such a restaurant in this area of Wan Chai is original, the food does not taste bad but frankly that will never be able to balance all the negative aspects this place has to offer…
There are better places and French food and service deserve much better ambassadors!
 
題外話/補充資料: btw, if you like sitting comfortably, then avoid the chair and thake the bench seat...

There's no sign to the restaurant, but it's hard to miss this gem that's right across from the Wanchai market.  Lively, cool vibe at the bar with a selection of excellent all-natural wines difficult to find elsewhere.  The food was beautifully presented, and the combinations were innovative but delicious and not precious.  The quality of the ingredients were unparalleled, and many were freshly imported from artisanal producers in France, such as the tasty cheese selection that came before desser

There's no sign to the restaurant, but it's hard to miss this gem that's right across from the Wanchai market.  Lively, cool vibe at the bar with a selection of excellent all-natural wines difficult to find elsewhere.  The food was beautifully presented, and the combinations were innovative but delicious and not precious.  The quality of the ingredients were unparalleled, and many were freshly imported from artisanal producers in France, such as the tasty cheese selection that came before dessert; but the chefs have also clearly explored the local offerings and incorporated distinctly Chinese ingredients like woodear mushrooms.  It's difficult to choose a favourite dish and the menu has changed since this visit, but the seafood and lamb were superb.  Service was excellent; one of our waiters was French but spoke perfect Cantonese which is useful.  The best part was the menu is highly sophisticated but the vibe is casual, fun and completely unpretentious, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and thoughtfulness of the food.  My favourite French restaurant in town right now I would say.

Serge et Le Phoque,這是一個我第一次見到的名字…只知道這店的其中一個老闆在巴黎經營Le Chateaubriand….這個名字會熟悉一點吧?我覺得很眼熟,google一下就發現,是The World’s 50 best restaurants的其中一份子字,2013年,它排第18位!知道店子會在8月15日開始營業,頭3天就只供應試菜餐單,就抓了同事相陪!地點就在灣仔道,不過附近就是街市,其實以環境以言是有點怪怪的,招牌也未整好,不過有趣的是雖然是第2天,但店中已經坐滿9成人!訂了2位,給安排了坐在一張大枱上,,應該可以住到12個人吧,椅子都沒有椅背,感覺熱熱鬧鬧!與另外2圍素未謀面的人圍坐在一起,雖然有點奇怪,但另一方面,也頗有趣的!沒有什麼餐牌,都是由店方安排食物,先來的是麵包配橄欖油,用功夫茶杯載的,麵包軟熟加上醇香的橄欖油 ,相當美味!小食則是鮑魚粒伴芫荽,薑粒蛋黃醬的綠色醬汁,醬汁味道超清新!但其他人的小食竟然是白飯魚…也等了好一陣子,再有另一道菜魷魚,沙樂美腸配菠菜配蜂蜜芥末,。吃下魷魚肉質鮮嫩,口感富彈性,味道相當清新這裡真的相當熱鬧,酒吧位置的人換完一批

這裡真的相當熱鬧,酒吧位置的人換完一批又一批….也許是生意是太好了,又要考我們的耐性等候下一道菜…..番紅花意大利飯

這一味意大利飯絕對是一個經典,在座的是幾应素昧謀面但是慕名而至的食客,吃完同一反应均是,太生了,也許與完美的意大利飯就是差那一點點,也許多煮一分鐘,囗感就變得理想,當中發生了一些小插曲…..不過不是什麼大事,就算了吧!

幸好下一味主食雖然等得很久,但味道是不錯的!就是牛排甜粟配羊起司及黑墨汁!牛排吃下肉味相當不錯,同時肉質也很不錯,說實在那個墨汁沒有什麼畫龍點晴的作用,甜粟呢味道是甜的,不過甜粟好像真的有點微焦的樣子….這夜吃的牛火路確實是不錯的,總算找挽回了一點分數!

甜品呢,來了一人一個小杯的西瓜汁配青椒及习草作裝飾!雖然西瓜汁加上了紅椒是頗清新的,但飲下又不是太突出,有點平凡! 只是,店員送上甜食時跟大家表示知道那個意大利飯不太大家口味,所以特地為大家安排一些特別甜品!

第一道的特選甜品是真空煮杧果配青瓜檸檬汁及薄荷葉!煮過的杧果特別甜,把整份甜品整份倒進口中,味道鮮甜中帶出清新滋味.看似簡單的配搭但又相當具層次,相當有驚喜!

不久又送來牛油果伴開心果奶油及桃肉伴焦糖醬,是第2道特選甜品!先吃牛油果開心果奶油,表面再加了點百香果籽增加口感,開心果奶油香軟細滑,即使只吃這個奶油也足以令我相當滿足呢!而桃肉伴焦糖醬也是個特別組合,焦糖醬不太甜但又有那種焦香味,加上清甜的桃肉,身旁友人相當喜歡這一味!

最後的甜品是巧克力配蕃紅花慕絲伴酒精啫哩!巧克力配蕃紅花慕絲吃下微甘,那外貌平凡的啫哩應該是用上了蘭娒酒製作,吃完一枚就好像飲了一shot的蘭娒酒,相當的利害!!!!巧克力配蕃紅花慕絲做得軟滑的,其實本來酒配巧克力也是好朋友,這晚配上了蘭娒酒啫哩,實在是有一定的驚喜的!

畢竟店子仍在試畢中….故等久了,可以包容;不是每道菜都理想,也可以諒解。不過吃畢一餐後,大家都感覺這裡的甜品比主食做得好,也許待店子上了軌道後可以再來試一下吧!見到店員們都很努力為大家服務,他們的誠意是可以見到的! 2個人吃飯加飲品一千多,不便宜但又說得上是合理的!這夜吃的是固定餐點,下星期開始可以散點,不知又會是怎樣的境地?
最後要說今夜最特別的地方大概是我們3圍人都因為那一份意大利飯開始閒聊起來,在等友人來時聽到其中一行3位朋友在討論各間美味餐廳,,在香港太難吃到全港所有餐廳,有機會就要在人家口中增進知識!吃至尾聲與同桌的人一同舉杯,那一刻的陌生感頓時就散開了好一回呢!大家吃畢都同意,甜品比主食….精彩多了!

Happy Friday,大家乾杯!

It has been a relatively quiet year in the dining scene of Hong Kong but whispers from around the world revealed that a dream team from Paris is about to launch a new casual fine dining restaurant near the very busy Wanchai market.

It has been a relatively quiet year in the dining scene of Hong Kong but whispers from around the world revealed that a dream team from Paris is about to launch a new casual fine dining restaurant near the very busy Wanchai market. This team of Parisian "hospitality experts" includes Frederic Peneau (formerly of Le Chateaubriand, Paris) and two star Michelin chef Christophe Pelé (formerly of La Bigarrade, Paris) who will be joining forces for the first time in their first-ever venture in Hong Kong.

The restaurant is tentatively named "Serge et Le Phoque" which literally means Serge and the seal in French and is scheduled for a soft opening on 15 August for 3 nights. Then the team will shut it down for a couple of weeks and re-group for the official launch in early September.

I started looking up the words "Serge et Le Phoque" from the web but couldn't find any match. One website suggested that it's the title of a children's book in French. I guess the meaning behind the name of the restaurant I would never find out.

But what I am about to find out is how well the team performs during the 3-day period of its soft opening after successfully securing a table on the third night.

We arrived roughly around 7:30pm but the kitchen did not seem to be ready to serve. And it looks as if the restaurant itself is not ready for opening anytime soon. The tables were yet to be painted properly, the paints on the wall were still wet...

Like his previous venture at La Bigarrade, chef Christophe Pelé prepared a surprise menu consisting of six to eight courses based on what's fresh at the market.

The first amuse bouche was a chilled soup of green pea, seaweed, yuzu and some sort of dried fish. I liked their idea of serving up soup in a Chinese tea cup.

Right before our first starter, a second and final amuse bouche of foie gras terrine topped by a thin slice of mango was served. The finishing touch was provided by a little dash of sea salt and Sichuan pepper on top.

I did enjoy the sushi-like presentation as well as its unique taste. The foie gras cube with tofu-like texture was particularly intriguing although it didn't bear the usual strong flavor of foie gras.

Less successful was the next course of squid with sausage, bok choy and black fungus. I didn't like this dish at all. The squid was as chewy as chewing gum and I thought it didn't mesh well with the rest of the ingredients (2/5).

Lamb loin was our last main course before dessert. After being slowly cooked to medium rare, the loin of lamb was served with sweet corns and anchovy before finally finished with a pool of squid ink sauce (3/5).

Looking at my neighbors' lamb loin, I thought mine was a tad undercooked but there's no denying how soft and tender it tasted (but it could have been better).

Following our main courses, we had a little bit of cheese which were already prepared on a plate for us. There were two types of delicious cheeses from the French Alps and a small portion of goat cheese to follow (3/5).

A cocktail drink that tasted like citrus juice to cool off our palates before dessert.

The pastry chef probably hasn't reported to work so nothing sophisticated at the moment, starting with a cup of lemon cream atop with a thin layer of cucumber jelly (again in a Chinese tea cup). I will let you decide what you think about this and the rest of the dessert (No more ratings!).

There is definitely market for a casual dining restaurant in Hong Kong that serves up hearty French bistro food. I am really looking forward to what Serge et Le Phoque will transpire into the next few weeks. But for the time being, this is a work in progress and definitely not ready for prime time.
