Made reservations and decided to have a fancy lunch with a few close friends for lunch. We had to reserve the fresh sea bream over the phone first as the restaurant tends to run out fairly early into lunch hour. I really like this french-western restaurant--ít's quaint with an elegant Parisian-influenced exterior that simply makes you want to enjoy a 2-hr comfy and lazy lunch.

I really like this french-western restaurant--ít's quaint with an elegant Parisian-influenced exterior that simply makes you want to enjoy a 2-hr comfy and lazy lunch. It's a huge contrast compared to the "Dai Pai Dong" next door with their famous tomato sauce macaroni and across the street with Kau Kee and their famous brisket noodles. So many good eats on Gough street!
There was a full house when I arrived at 1pm but the dishes came fairly quickly. The price was decent for a 2 course meal and it comes with coffee or tea. The lunch menu itself changese every month (I was looking forward to the salmon but it wasn't on this month's menu, maybe next time ).
The bread was still warm when served but I find it a bit blend and doughy--tasted a little bit like sourdough and very chewy. It was hard to pull apart
Huge fan of their caesar salad which comes in whole romaine leaves. The perfectly poached egg and anchovies made it that much more special compared to other typical caesars. Would come back just for this salad!
I ordered the panfried sole fillet in butter & herb sauce and I liked it very much. A thick cut of fillet that tasted very buttery and flavorful. However, if you have a large appetite, this portion might not hit the spot for you (order the steak, it's HUGE)
My friend ordered the fresh sea bream right from the market. I tasted it and it was FRESH--not the fishy type fresh, but the comforting freshness like the taste of the ocean. My friend liked the tomato salsa that came with the fish but she did complain that there were alot of bones. So it did take her a little longer than others to finish her main course (if you have a short lunch time, do not order this)
Another friend orderd the braised pork belly with mash. It was soft and tender infused with alot fo rich flavors. If you don't mind a fatty piece of meat, this is absolutely delicious. The mash itself was very creamy--almost to a point like soup! Everyone liked that alot Overall, a very chilled lunch with nice food and a comfortable environment. Will definitely revisit again to try out their steak (saw the dish from other people's table and it looked scrumptious) and mash again
