fresh baguette and rose butter
this bread is probably better than the main course. the waiter kindly asked if you want baguette or toast and both are toasted and warm. i chose the thick piece of baguette as this is a french restaurant and wow. the outside is so crunchy with the most airy and spacious inside, easily melts the butter and creates the most pleasant aroma of warm bread and butter. the waiter also periodically comes and asks if you want more throughout the courses.

sautéed snails & mixed mushrooms (法式蒜味炒雜蘑菇田螺)
tender and plump snails! quite the rare delicacy in hong kong and Amigo has done it absolute justice 👍 perfect with the crispy wonton wrapper skin, same goes for the umami filled mushrooms. the sauce also great with the baguette!

bouillabaisse (法式海龍皇湯)
rich and deep soup with a sofrito base so there are minced celery and carrots as well. when I drank this, I could taste the salty ocean in my mind, this s definitely a wonderful and genuine bouillabaisse. gently soak the baguette into it and absorbs all that deliciousness, being the perfect vessel.
on top there is also 2 plump prawns, a fresh and springy mussel and clam.

seared halibut fillet with cilantro pesto shrimp sauce (香煎比目魚柳配香草海蝦白酒汁)
this main was definitely a let down from the amazing appetiser and soup 😔 the appearance itself is very unappetising with 2 pieces of pre-cooked fried fish and a pool of white cream with 2 sad shrimps. (reminded me of something from ikea 😬) however, taste was better than I thought, one of the fish is on the dry side whilst the other is perfectly flaky, both needs the cream sauce (which is tasty and not heavy but lacks pesto) to have some flavour. the shrimps in the sauce are bouncy and way better than the fish. the outside coating on the fish cleary says it has been battered and fried but since it is not fresh and crispy, it became soggy and hard to cut into. 😥
for the sides, there was half a steamed potato and some sautéed snap peas and bell peppers. potato is soft and starchy albeit cold, good with the cream sauce. sautéed veggies are too oily and sadly lost their crunch.

serradura pudding (木糠布丁)
a classic Portuguese dessert that I love. love the cute appearance of this although portion is very small 😅 marie biscuits crumbled well and somehow doesn’t make your mouth dry and dusty. cream is so milky yet light, amazing with crunchy biscuits. the ginormous blueberry and strawberry is there to help when it feels too heavy, both sweet and tart to balance out the rich cream. 👍
also, don’t forget there signature chocolate covered ice cream balls! 🌟delicious and won’t melt thanks to the metal ice bowls. I also recommend their hot chocolate for the after-meal drink because Amigo’s chocolate is truly divine.

💬 Overall, $450 for this 4 course lunch with complimentary drink of wine or soda and an after-meal drink of coffee/tea/hot chocolate. the service is also worth mentioning as the staff are very attentive (especially to your bread and water needs) and all the courses are plated and served from a trolley.
