Zest (已結業)

用餐日期...已忘了...那天中午, 由九龍灣飄到中環, 去吃lunch也 ~記得上次來這裡, 吃過煎得脆香的魚皮 ~今次, 令我留下印象的, 是出色的豆湯!

It was so nice ambience 's restaurant. We had the " Country pate" and " Lamb Ravioli" to start. The lamb ravioli was pretty good. And the country pates' prensentation was so nice too. The waiter made a nice recommendation for me to order " Roasted Chicken" which was cooked to a perfect tenderness . And my friend picked a " Crispy Pork", it was so juicy!!!! Finally, we were oredered the " Chocolate and Banana Cake" for finished to oreder dinner. How can we define this restaurant? - it was Great F

Went Zest last night together with a friend of mine, the dinner was so good and people there were so nice; it surely highlighted my week despite it was only a MONDAY dinner~Ordered Ricotta soufflé and Confit duck salad as starters. The soufflé was so nicely made that I could not only taste the skill, but also the heart of the chef!!! Sounds crazy, but I mean it! The waitress made a nice recommendation for me to order the Roasted cod fish while my friend picked the Roasted chicken. I love the fis

這家餐廳我來過三次, 一直有好印象. 吃飯有時為填肚, 此為量的滿足, 但不一定會帶來味覺上的享受, 所以會產生肚飽但依然感到有點 "餓" 的感覺.在我去過的同類型和價錢的餐廳來說, zest 可算是最能滿足味覺的一間. 吃的時候, 會有幸福的感覺~~上星期和朋友二人吃個set lunch. 我點的是:意式蕃茄芝士沙律 - 太好吃了, 尤其我愛蕃茄, 加上意大利黑醋沙律汁和可口的mozzarella, 太合我的胃口了. 燒豬腩肉 - 平時很少吃肥豬肉的我 (因怕豬臭味) 今次完全吃不到豬味, 皮烤得很香, 加上肥油, 吃完一定肥但很美味香滑的一道菜.另點了chocolate tart, 非常香濃, 無可挑剔.註: 餐廳雖不大但有兩層. 樓下較開揚卻好像有點擠. 個人喜歡坐樓上, 好像感覺比較靜.

周日到中環吃brunch, 在or做了點資料搜集, 被食友寫的 Platter(有fresh basked muffin、warm fruit compote with cinnamon mascarpone 同muesli with yoghurt) 同杯yoghurt 的相吸引.決定來這裏樓上好像被包場開生日會, 不打緊, 反正樓下更開揚, 感覺更佳.周日的brunch 或午餐選擇不多, 各6項左右. 不過貴精不貴多, 餐版上找不到platter 或yoghurt (或許是看漏眼了), 選了egg benedict, 及crab cake 附送的麵包雖然不熱, 但不失鬆脆, 配上紅醋及橄欖油, 令人吃得起勁egg benedit (hk$65) 的蛋生熟洽到好處, 麵包鬆脆, 火腿雖普通, 但配搭得到好處, 好!crab cake (hk$95) 是焗的, 蟹肉鮮味, 配上淡味的mayonasie,不錯, 伴碟的有cesar salad 及poach egg, 但不夠喉, 於是追加一個 rocket, pear & prama chesse 的side salad (hk$25

Went to Zest when it first opened and thought the food was just ok and didn't understand why it received a 5 star rating from HK magazine... It's been a while since I've been back and this time I see why it got such a high review. We had the mackerel, the prawn and salmon ravioli and the procuitto wrapped pate to start. The mackerel was pretty good even for me who doesn't normally eat it. It had a nice pickled sour taste. I liked the pate the best out of the three though. The ravioli was un

同朋友傾傾計，即興的lunch，地方好一點又唔須訂位的，這裡從來都是個好選擇。環境談不上闊落，勝在望到街景，日光下吃個午餐倒也稱心，3courses 的午餐，分別要了肉凍沙律、醋漬三文魚沙律，主菜是煎三文魚及慢煮羊肩。Terrine要另加$30，不介意多付一點錢吃自家製的，以巴馬火腿包著粗切火腿絲，落刀時手感極為「實淨」，火腿肉滿滿的，沒下多餘香草，特別處是沒以高湯將火腿黏合，吃起來很實在，巴馬火腿軟熟微鹹，幾特別家常風味小品。朋友的煎三文魚煎得緊熟，魚皮切了兩刀，魚皮煎後不致變成U形，賣相方面也不錯，糖心的肉質極討好，當然找出速配的香料去走三文富個性的「泥腥」味，就更精彩，自己仍鍾情於Olive那味下了魔法的糖心三文。自己的慢煮羊肩，無骨、肉連脂肪部份，很難想到羊肩，似是吃浸煮而成羊腿，肉質軟腍不散，口感不錯，然而經這麼一浸，油甘亦散去了，加上下了不少香草調味，連應有的羶味亦盡去，理解到此品不易處理，之後與兩位行家談起，不信是午市「炒檔」的成品，看來這邊的大廚也是位酷愛烹飪之人。甜品是香焦crepe，蛋皮軟熟，也有澎湃的酒香，不是自己那杯茶，菜式不花巧，卻有著自己風格，較之大集團，更

第一次黎呢度食~感覺都幾舒服!叫左杯yoghurt~好好好好味呀~~~面係museli~最底有生果同honey!!! LOVE IT~表哥叫左兩個set~一個係好似egg benedict~一個係fried toast~egg benedict that one幾好味~~~另一個就無試喇!

到這兒吃個business lunch，地點對方選，要了三道菜午餐，埋單才$260。先來法式麵包，好香脆。湯/沙律，選了「鮭魚慕絲配吐司沙律」，對方選了「青豆湯」，兩者都功夫野。我們主菜都選了「烤黑鱸魚配烤薯沙律」，味道係超好。甜點係「法式蘋果撻配香草雪糕」，亦係手工野，好香脆。飲品選了熱咖啡，味道尚可，配甜點吃就欠些少。就business lunch 而言，沒什麼好挑剔，服務亦好好，最喜歡餐廳用餐巾而非餐紙巾！

The entree was very delicious, but it's not a very big portion and I believe the restaurant is overpriced. If you want a full course with appetizer and dessert with a drink, don't expect to leave without at least 500 bucks exclucing service charges, etc. You expect a 95 bucks appetizer, but what s offered on its list are quite constrained to vergetable related dishes. My friends and I shared an oreo chocolate related deseert and I did not like it at all. The waffle was super dry, there are s

I decided to try Zest because HK Magazine gave it a very good rating. The menu has a fair number of dishes that appeal - in this sense, it succeeded in the first step. however, step 2, execution, did not meet expectations. either the plates were too small or the ingredients were too busy. My company ordered pork chop but i could see that there was hardly any space to slice the meat properly without squishing the sauce and accompaniments.the dessert of roasted tomato and mascarpone tart was a ni

在這裡，先向當晚的兩位當事人講句：不好意思!要知道，雨過天晴後，情侶間會更加親密是個不爭的事實~ 　不用上堂的週一，一行四人到了SOHO覓食，推動力之一是抵食的241 dinner優惠。其實我超想吃Refectory，可惜結業了；有些東西，真要把握時機呢!不過來到Zest，環境又好，我又開心返了~　點了一盤沙律及四款主菜，食物平均水準不俗，每款皆有特色：　Milawa blue cheese and fig salad with wild rocket, candiced walnuts, sweet dressing($115)-無花果葉味道很濃烈，我有點不慣；不過仍然要讚這個沙律的醬汁做得不錯，尤其是加入合桃，增加不少香味與口感~　Slow cooked veal shank with parmesan polenta and gremolata($215)-牛膝的肉質超嫩滑，水準很高，令人一吃難忘；配菜的玉米飯碎混和芝士及香料，味道也十分突出!　Tomato dakkah crusted fresh fish on preserved lemon cous-cous harisa

又好一陣子沒有搞過「Lunch」系列，適逢MM在港，都要約番一餐。就趁kkk兄提議來這裡，就4+3的來個「小姐/Ma Luck X-over」，一行七人的來這裡吃午飯。這裡是以前匈牙利菜的舊舖位，上層明顯比下層環境好，坐在八人長檯，相當舒適。午餐頭盤有兩個選擇，主菜則有三個選擇，當然要是要試齊全部。頭盤二選一，是湯及烤魷魚沙律，要了後者。魷魚是真的略烤過，有香味，因為新鮮，所以雖然粗身，但都有爽脆的口感，吃落亦鮮甜，不錯。配上的是簡簡單單的火箭菜，微微的胡椒味又有清新的口感，忽然想起一位吃火箭菜看電視的朋友，應該會幾喜歡這味菜的；另一個頭盤盛在一個大圓碟中，賣相也相當好。三款主菜，分別是羊奶芝士雞卷、煎鱸魚及烤吞拿魚。個人而言，最喜歡的是羊奶芝士雞卷，雞肉嫩滑，加上軟滑又帶羊臊味的羊奶芝士，是一個幾特別的配搭，味道方面，也很夾檔，我喜歡吃羊肉，其實更喜歡吃羊奶芝士，那股濃郁又獨得的臊味，加上芝士的口感，很有個性；煎鱸魚也很有水準，魚皮煎得香脆之餘，吃落也有魚油的香味。魚肉嫩滑，一點不腥，伴碟的是紅酒牛尾汁，魚配牛，未試過，吃落也都幾特別；烤吞拿魚算是比較平凡的一味，略烤的表面，還保留了

慢食主導，先來一個Platter，有fresh basked muffin、warm fruit compote with cinnamon mascarpone 同muesli with yoghurt：各有各新鮮，也各自各精彩- 罕有的清碟（當然有D 因為懶健康，又有D 因為份量少得剛好）。主菜是Welsh rarebit with oven dried tomatoes and bacon (Classic cheese melt, grilled, on toast)：除了塊排包味、排包質地的多士太薄太弱之外，整個combination 不錯：香草芝士烤過後，芝味不失，滋味不失- 食落又融又cheesy，薄薄的蜜糖麵包多士脆脆的…好想吃精光，但實在太漏，半途而廢。最舒服的一餐。

上週六計劃同好友慶祝生日, 之前剛剛經過雲咸街, 覺得呢度有幾好feel, 又見到食評話不錯, 於是提議來呢度, 點知...先講下環境:zest分兩層, 我地坐係樓上,一上去已經覺得好細(大概坐到30人),不過soho/LKF區好些餐廳都係細細地,都冇乜所謂. 室內設計好簡單,昏昏暗暗的, 我地仲見到隔離既外籍客人要用手機照住個menu黎睇...D好細,都唔知有冇呎半闊,加埋D酒杯/餐具等,剩低好少位擺食物.五位朋友陸續來到, 每人都點了一杯drink, 平均$60一杯,0係呢區係0甘上下. 其中有一位朋友只係想要杯水, 唔知係咪個waitress嫌我地唔叫足六杯drink, 杯水在三催四請下先至0黎...食物方面, 可能zest以飲0野為主, menu既選擇唔算多, 例如湯得soup of the day 一款, pasta得四款, main dish有7-8款. 我地六個人share食, 叫左: 一人一個soup of the day, 一個salad,一個spaghetti, 一個risotto, 三個main dish, 兩個side dish, 同埋三款dessert (我地
