There was an article in Ming Pao last Sunday recommending Stan Cafe of Stanley by the French Consulate General. That should be a very reliable and strong recommendation. We took a lunch there after having a walk in our beautiful Tai Lam Country Park. I am so lucky to have a friend who has lived in France for years and is a gourmet, knowledgeable in French food to be my companion for this meal.

First, the menu was very French, and offered authentic French dishes, some of which we could rarely find in places outside France, such as the
- a sausage made with pork or goat intestine and thus has very strong ‘odor’. Of course, we Chinese eat every (or nearly every) part of an animal and used to such ‘odor’ smell and taste. We had this dish twice when we travelled in Paris. We were so glad have the opportunity to have this dish in Hong Kong, making us revisiting our memories of traveling in Paris. The sausage prepared by Stan Cafe which was served with french fries and salad looked attractive and beautifully pan-fried, though it was comparatively more coarse and less strong odor than those we had in Paris. We had tried two types of salads. One of which was the Perigourdine Salad with asparagus. This salad is originated from a place called Perigourd and is considered special as it has smoked duck breast and preserved duck giblets together some other ‘normal’ ingredients, such as greens and cheese. Another one was the goat cheese salad. We loved the goat cheese which was slightly grilled and presented on top of a tiny toast. The cheese was melting, goaty and fragrant. Absolutely amazing. But, the dessert and coffee (Illy) were a bit disappointing. We had the chocolate eclair. The dough was a bit soggy. The filling should be more creamy and rich. Well, I am setting the standard according to the La Maison du Chocolat’s eclair. I am not sure if it’s a fair comparison as I haven’t compared to their prices and La Maison du Chocolat is a specialist in pastry.
It was a very memorial and happy lunch with lovely food, excellent harbour view, cosy ambience and the staff there are excellent!
