When Le dome de cristal open almost a year ago, i paid a visit, being a big fan of Cristal Champagne. The room is outstanding, as well as the outdoor lounge, but that was about it. The food at that time wasn't going anywhere. I promised myself at that time I would never go back. Until I read a review about the restaurant hiring a new chef, with a michelin star background. I have waited a bit for the team to get ready and be objective, to give it another shot. OMG! What has happened there?? It's
We ordered the tasting menu (at HK$ 1,580 in Central, with that quality, it's a bargain) with the wine pairing (HK$ 980 for 6 glasses). We went from surprise to surprise.
A few highlights for me: the foie gras wonton (they even gave us chopsticks!) was so balanced in flavors, with the ginger and garlic. Another dish was the pigeon, which I usually don't like very much. It was cooked to perfection, and served with some beetroot and a mashed potatoes to die for! They also served a champagne kir, as pre-dessert with Cristal Champagne 2005!
The wines paired with the menu were so nice and coming from small wine makers. The French manager even made us taste a wine called ratafia (not part of the pairing, but with his compliments) to go with the cheese trolley. It was very nice.
It was an overall great surprise, unexpected. It was a shame the place wasn't very busy. MOre people in the restaurant would make a better atmosphere. The chef came to talk to us at the end and asked us feedbacks. It's very unusual to see the chefs talking to the guests. He also told us that they serve a set lunch menu very good deal for less than HK$ 400. I will definetly try it as well.
