Ok, so the title of this review may seem a little overdone but I firmly believe that when you weigh up everything that makes a restaurant good this little beauty comes out on top. First the food is simply superb. I’d call the menu French farmhouse - delicious, unfussy, French food. They offer mostly sharing plates and a good mix of meats and fish. Oh, and if it’s in season Chef David Lai (Lot 10 fame) has it, so think fresh truffles (sold by the gram) and the many types of seasonal mushrooms thr
First the food is simply superb. I’d call the menu French farmhouse - delicious, unfussy, French food. They offer mostly sharing plates and a good mix of meats and fish. Oh, and if it’s in season Chef David Lai (Lot 10 fame) has it, so think fresh truffles (sold by the gram) and the many types of seasonal mushrooms through the year.
David’s ability to blend flavours and textures is second to none. He and his team cook things to perfection (fish never overcooked, vegetables always left with a bit of a crunch, pasta home made, and so on). The menu is always changing, with some very clever dishes. There is always something new and interesting on there (curried mussels) as well as some stalwarts like their padron peppers and or mixed vegetables.
The wine list is short but sharp. Excellent wines at a very good price point ($450-$1100).
The service is friendly and the venue, while being down a dirty backstreet (but hey, this is Hong Kong), is cosy and comfortable (read lowly lit).
And then there is the price. David’s ability to turn out amazing food at these low prices is hard to believe. I can’t overstate this enough. Dinner for two consisting of 4/5 sharing plates can come to less than $1000! And yet the food matches if not beats many of Hong King’s more storied hotel restaurants.
This place had to be tried to be believed. Top marks.
