My friend and I come here every December for their Sunday champagne buffet. Pre-COVID, it was…read moreglorious with endless selection of high quality seafood and meat, I remember Peking Duck, suckling pig, prime rib rack, Paella and many more. Post-COVID, it's gotten worse year over year and now that Nicholini is closed, the buffet no longer stretches across the entire floor, it's limited to just Brasserie. The restaurant was packed to the gills pre-COVID but now only a handful of tables were occupied while we were there. Gone is the unlimited lobster, shrimp and other seafood and instead you'll get a platter with one of each and if you want oysters, you have to pay a surcharge of US$4 per piece. There's no longer a carving station and instead they put out a braised beef stew and another low quality item I can't even remember. The sushi/sashimi station is also gone and instead you'll get a pre-assembled fish bite of some kind. The live pasta station is still there but with mediocre selection, it's good but not something you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The rest of the buffet is just so sad with very limited and low quality selections, there's a tuna fish salad on offer, need I say more? They're also stingy with their champagne, we had to ask for a refill a couple of times and they stopped pouring half an hour before closing. We've given this restaurant more chances than it deserves and this time we're saying goodbye to them for good. For the price that we paid which was over US$150 per person, there're better choices out there.

This is my favorite steak place in HK so far…read more I ordered a M9 Rib eye steak with steamed rice and sautéed spinach. The M9 Steak tastes amazing. The steak was very tender and juicy, making every bite melting in your mouth. Also, the steak had a good amount of salt, not needing to add more salt unlike most steak places I've tried. The steak had a good meat to fat ratio. The spinach was sautéed with garlic. The spinach had a very strong and delicious garlic flavor plus the perfect amount of salt and juiciness. Worth to try. Also, although the rice was just simple and steamed, the rice tasted good and it wasn't over cooked. The seating area was nice and had a nice outside view. Although the price may seem pricy, the food quality was totally worth it. Overall, very delicious meal and will come again to possibly try another dish. 10/10

Clean brunch menu that you would expect of other restaurants - I went straight with an ala-carte to really try out the menu. My stepdaughter ordered the Mushroom Linguini which was prepared well - al dente and not soggy. Hubby went for Eggs Royale with salmon and they turned out decent. I decided on a Quinoa Salad topped with a side of grilled beef (note: beef needed time to rest after serving, wait for about 5 min and it would be about right). Overall decent food for brunch - not exceedingly expensive - would definitely go back. More so since it's just a stone's throw away - happy to have another decent restaurant in the hood.

I reserved a table using an online discount service and after I post a bad comment about the restaurant on their Facebook page here is what I can from the reply from the restaurant claimed to be the owner of the restaurant. The restaurant replied to my comment, "Also you are Eatigo 50% off so please give me a break." Are customers using an Eatigo discount that the restaurant advertised a second class citizen?

Punching well above it's single Michelin star and price point, Mackerel in Red Curry akin to something one might see at a Robuchon Restaurant, Peking Duck arrives in two services including smoked Leg in Corn Mousse prior to creamy Brie and a layer of Eldeflower-Persimmon Gelee. Requesting a substitution at Dessert, Chocolate surely a fine choice but Mille Feuille a la minute always special, BELON'S version with Pineapple plus Kaffir Lime shines brightly in terms of taste as well as texture before finishing with Mignardises and take-home Kouign Amann.

It is baked in salt and served with mushrooms in a cream sauce over rice cooked in cast iron casserole dish. There isn't much description on the menu items so I would suggest taking some time to speak with the staff to understand what to order or to do some research ahead of time. I particularly enjoyed the frog legs, pasta dishes, and chocolate dessert.

The tables are all set up with small clusters of organic tomatoes in the center, the idea being that the guests would enjoy them with olive oil as a starter. It's relatively new in Hong Kong, having just opened this October 2018 - it has already been nominated as the Tatler's Readers' Choice award for Best New Restaurant. Nigerian born Chef Patron Raphael Duntoye has outdone himself with his extraordinary menu. We started with the Beignets de fleurs which are lightly battered (crispy on the outside, soft inside) friend zucchini flowers. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I could eat these daily. The Crevettes Tièdes à l'Huile d'Olive - warm prawns with olive oil were so tasty and seasoned just right, so we could taste the freshness of the sea with the olive oil. Carpaccio de Sériole - yellowtail carpacio had just the right amount of thinly sliced hot pepper to give it that extra emphasis. Divine. Poivrons Marinés à l'Huile d'Olive the roasted peppers were smoky flavored but not charred so we enjoyed the freshness of the peppers untarnished. Betteraves Marinées marinated beetroot tasted roasted and marinated and was bursting with flavor. Coquelet aux citrons confits baby chicken with lemon confit was aromatic and tender with a slightly crispy skin. Delicious. White truffles in pasta - what words could describe the wonder affiliated with tasting this amazing dish? The pan fried dover sole was fragrant and tasted like it was just caught within the hour - the freshness was unmatched. To top it all, we had the passion fruit, coconut and mango sorbet with their signature French toast, which tasted like the top of a creme brulee. This has now become my favorite restaurant in Hong Kong. It is that good.

Mother's Day Trip to HK. And decided to have lunch here since their dinner reso was booked up…read more Heard great things about this 3 star Michelin restaurant from some fellow foodie friends. Must say, I was rather disappointed. The only 2 dishes that we thought were actually Michelin worthy might be the Aka uni. Cauliflower. Lobster. Royal Cristal caviar. Etc. dish and the mango. Golden pineapple. Curry. Black fermented kumquat. Coconut cream dessert. The other dishes ranged from normal good to unmemorable. Perhaps comparing it to French Laundry is crazy, but it's really hard not to compare when they're both 3 star Michelin restaurants and the price is comparable. The ambiance was on point. However, service was mixed depending on the server and honestly... I've had better service at 1 star/ 2 star Michelin restaurants. In terms of service I'll just mention what I recall (they're nice overall, but...): 1) we found a piece of glass on my sister's place mat. They attributed it to the centre piece which we find utterly laughable, but sure, whatever excuse they want 2) while we were taking photos they came into the frame a few times. French laundry was much better... invisible when not required and visible immediately when needed 3) gave us the bill while we were still eating and asked us to leave early cause they need to close up for break before dinner service. I missed the exact wording as I was in the restroom but absolutely unacceptable. Never in a million years have we ever had any Michelin star restaurant do this to us 4) there were times when the staff didn't clear the dishes and gave us the next dish. There should never be clutter on the table where it takes away from the seamless experience 5) it was a nice touch that they gave us a Mother's Day cake to pack to go but they failed to mention that it needs to be eaten immediately or refrigerated within 2.5 hrs. Yes... they had a note on the cake box in font size 12. But a normal 3 star or even 1 star Michelin would mention it verbally too 6) them telling us that their kitchen is closed so they can only give us a doggy paper bag and not a box to pack our madeleines to go. I've contemplated giving this place a 2 star review, but I also don't think their food is bad... just not sure ALL their food AND service is Michelin worthy. 2 words. Thoroughly disappointed.

Replacing the Alba restaurant on the 10th floor of Cubus is Town, a bistro serving multi-cultural…read morecuisine with focus on lighter and healthier ingredients. The dining area is modern and clean, with hints of industrial touches. The windows overlook the buildings on the Lee Gardens side, and I imagine would be quite scenic when all lit up during the evening. Town offered a 3-course set lunch (ranging from $178 - $220): starter, main and dessert. For the starter, it was a choice between Anti-Pasti Buffet and Broccoli, Smoked Salmon and Yoghurt. We all opted for the former. The buffet table offered standard salad items ranging from leafy vegetables, cous cous, cold cuts and so on. Quite refreshing and definitely more controlled than a free-flow all-you-can-eat/order brunch. The bread basket was a warm and most breads used heavier dough, giving them the qualities of comfort food. Simple old goodness! We also ordered a bottle of Panna still water ($68), which is not pictured here. Next up were the mains. Iberico Pork Loin, Corn, Pancetta, Celery Root, Peas, Quince ($220/set) was a safe fail-proof choice; the cut was meaty and with a bit of bite, while the sides matched the sweetness from the pork loin. Our other main was Wagyu Beef Burger, Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion Jam, Fries($198/set). Like the Iberico Pork, also a staple dish, but with a twist of red onion jam which complemented the heaviness of the patty quite well. Other than that, it can be described as a no-frills classic American burger. Another main that we ordered was Beef and Pork Bolognaise, Spagettini, Porcini Mushrooms ($188/set). Again like the burger, was a classic entry to the American diet. The twist was the use of Porcini mushrooms instead of the usual button mushrooms, giving the dish a bit more bite and character. The desserts were a choice between Strawberries with Mascarpone Cheese OR Upside-Down Pineapple Cake. The strawberries and mascarpone, I believe are a healthier option to the usual strawberries and cream. Those looking for a healthier fresh fruit option would appreciate this. The Upside-Down Pineapple Cake, in my opinion, tasted exactly like the classic Cantonese bakery favorite Coconut Tart (椰撻)! The pineapple added a layer of acidity to the tart, and elevated it above your local bakery tart. All in all, I appreciate the use of quality ingredients as I do the reinvention of classic dishes. I see a small step in the right direction, and do look forward to a bigger more adventurous leap for the menu. But then again, I have yet to sample the dinner menu, which may offer more interesting flavours and options versus the dependable (and rather unimaginative) lunch menu. Town is still a good choice for a straightforward meal with friends in a casual relaxed environment.

Not especially exciting dish but done pretty well. The salmon is served on a piece of toasted bread and topped with greens. The greens were a bit too much and could have used a bit more salt. Overall still pretty tasty. The French chicken dish is a signature dish and I can see why. You get too pieces of chicken served over mashed potatoes with asparagus. This dish is really delicious. I will come back here just to order this. Chicken is really tender and juicy and the asparagus is cooked perfectly as well. For dessert I had the apple tart. This is ok and wouldn't really recommend. Not bad per se but wasn't great. The ice cream was the best part of the dish.
