We had some difficulty finding this place, it wasn’t until we walked up and down the slopes twice did we realize the entrance of Beef and Liberty was unobtrusively tucked inside Pizza Express. A restaurant inside a restaurant, inception!Walking in, I realized the meaning of liberty in its name. It's rare you have an open space in Hong Kong, and Beef & Liberty have obviously put some thought into the interior. High ceilings and lavish use of panel glass create the impression that you're actually
We had some difficulty finding this place, it wasn’t until we walked up and down the slopes twice did we realize the entrance of Beef and Liberty was unobtrusively tucked inside Pizza Express. A restaurant inside a restaurant, inception!
Walking in, I realized the meaning of liberty in its name. It's rare you have an open space in Hong Kong, and Beef & Liberty have obviously put some thought into the interior. High ceilings and lavish use of panel glass create the impression that you're actually sitting outdoors. The space is light, airy and spacious, plus you get the tranquilly of the Star Street neighbourhood just out the window. I’ve found my new weekend spot!
Here, they pride on having created the perfect burger, which to some extent is true. There are not many places that can proclaim their beef is from hormone-free grass-fed cattle! Their patties are quite lean and lack in juiciness, but makes up for that by packing a good meaty flavour; something I wouldn’t mind returning for! We sampled the Black Pepper Burger ($108) and the Green Pepper Burger ($98). These essentially had similar flavours despite the difference in the auxiliary ingredients; the key differentiating factor was the black pepper, which was overwhelmingly strong towards the end. (Also explains why their choice of vegetables was rocket, where the green pepper burger used the much milder butter lettuce). The Peppery sharpness of the first burger is undisputedly the best accompaniment to beer. I had the Young Master Classic Ale 330ml ($55), which is a richer beer with a hint of honey overtones. It's grrrreaaat!
The Black Pepper Fries ($30) are a bit of a letdown. It is essentially normal fries with black pepper grated over it – I could have ordered the regular and done it myself, there was a black pepper grater right on the table! More importantly, these were neither crispy nor crunchy. It gets presentation points, but no points from my taste buds =(
Don’t be fooled by its mundane sounding name, the Mixed Tender Leaf Salad ($70) surprises on several counts! The greens are doused in a Thai-inspired shallot dressing, which is better than it looks; the peanuts add an extra depth to the texture and flavor. Yum! Another worthy mention is the innocent looking bread. This is probably the best toast I’ve had so far! It’s crunchy and has a bit of a burnt charcoal taste while buttery as well. Order this salad, even if just for the toast.::||Good For||::
Health! Where else can you find tasty burgers that are lean! And indoor picnicking, because that’s what it feels like!
