After reading so many good reviews about this restaurant, I decided to try it with my friends during lunch time. After passing through the dirty and crowded wanchai wet market alley, we found this French restaurant with modern décor, a very interesting contrast to the neighborhood surrounded.Similar to all other restaurants, after being seated, we were asked about beverage choices, and I said water.

Similar to all other restaurants, after being seated, we were asked about beverage choices, and I said water. Before I was asked to choose tap water, still water or sparkling water, the waiter rushed to the bar area, opened a bottle of still water and poured it into our glasses before we said no we prefer tap water. A little bit pushy, but not big issue to me at that moment.
For amuse bouche, we were served fried onion rings with lime seasoning, which was very delicious. The thin onion rings are crispy and packed with multiple layers of flavors. I liked it.
I was quite looking forward to bread of the restaurant because a blogger mentioned it’s the best wheat bread she has ever had. Surprisingly, no one served us any bread even after my appetizer dish arrived. I was disappointed because I thought maybe the quality of bread today is not good and the chef decided not to serve it. However, I couldn’t resist my eager to try the bread so I asked the waiter if they have any today. He said yes, and he threw a bowl of bread on our table, WITHOUT BUTTER. This is the FIRST semi-formal/formal French restaurant which I have ever been that doesn’t serve bread UNTIL you ask. The bread is warm, with soft inside and crunchy crust, but it’s just average.
My appetizer is sardine fish with enokitake mushroom on top. Even though texture of the sardine is good but flavor is unfresh and weird. Enokitake mushroom neither added flavor nor texture contrast to the dish. Average.
I was served grilled seabass as main, which is well cooked. Crunchy skin and soft, tender fish meat is packed with flavors. I quite enjoyed it.
My desert is passion parfait and it is average.
Overall, I don’t recommend this restaurant. With 300HKD lunch budget, there are much more options with better food quality and services. I will not come back again.
