However, if you hadn't made a reservation and couldn't get in, there's plenty of other restaurants in what is called food street with each one offering a patio as well. Since food street is like a wide alley that runs between all these buildings that house high-end boutiques on the ground floors, you would not be subjected to the noise and exhaust of HK traffic. The layout is quite casual, with a mix of couples and families. The menu is quite extensive with fresh oysters from different countries. We sampled two different varieties from Ireland. There's also a tapas page offering things from garlic shrimps to iberico ham. We ordered the foie gras sandwiched between toasts. It was quite good if a little rich. One of our friends had a soup of the day which was butter squash. It came with a piece of tomato-rubbed toast, Spanish style. He liked it. We also ordered a Caesar salad for two which was large enough for the four of us to sample. A solid salad but lacked a bit of dressing. When we mentioned it to the waiter, he brought out more dressing on the side. For our mains, my GF and one of our friends ordered ordered the Iberico pork chops grilled and served with roasted potatoes and half a head of roasted garlic. The two chops were juicy and tender with a hint of sweetness from the balsamic glaze. The chops were part of the daily special which I also ordered off. I had a pasta with prawns and scallops. The pasta was tasty with three large prawns. My only quibble would be that I wish there were more scallops as I only got two. Our other friend ordered off the menu and had a seafood stew that featured clams, mussels, scallops, and half a lobster. It was huge. Now I know where my scallops went! All in all, a nice meal in a nice setting without breaking the bank.

The coffee was thick and had too much of a citrus taste for my liking. The food was okay but doesn't compare to some of the cafes that are in the surrounding area.

The restaurant reminds me a lot of the clean and bright wine bars back in the UK, and they have a drinks and food menu, which is similar to those bars back home too. The food is a mix of Western dishes like lamb shanks, pasta, salads. All the sort of gastropub grub you would expect. It's reasonably priced, with pasta dishes costing around HKD130, and a full 1/2 roast chicken HKD190, but could do with being a bit better prepared. On a visit today, starters were fab, the calamari was fried to perfection in a crispy light bater, and actually featured some large pieces of squid, the duck spring rolls were again large, very tasty, and worthy of sharing. These sharing type of starters were around HKD130. Unfortunately the mains were a bit blah. The roasted chicken was dry and a bit small, the pastas were perfectly fine, but their sauces felt a bit out of a jar, the cauliflower cheese was not cooked enough. The crab and avocado salad main was very good though, perfectly ripe avocado, but could do with being a bit bigger. The service was a bit blah too. Drinks took a very long time to come, wine measures were scant (we had to actually send a glass back to ask that they actually put some wine in it). Getting the attention of the staff was OK, but then getting them to deliver on any request was tricky. They seemed to be on auto-pilot most of the afternoon, so it took a few pokes to get them moving. All in all, a perfectly nice place to go for an easy Saturday lunch. I wouldn't expect earth shattering food or service, but it's not bad. Get enough wine in, and you'll stop worrying anything!

(This review was also posted in https://www.yelp.com/biz/amigo-restaurant-香港)…read more In our recent trip to Hong Kong, my husband suggested checking out the Amigo Restaurant.  I did a little research and found this restaurant pretty interesting.  Although it has a Spanish name and the mansion was built in Spanish style, with olden Spanish décor throughout, Amigo serves classic French cuisine. This iconic restaurant was founded in 1967, and was moved to the present mansion in 1976, being in the same address for half of a century.  Amigo remains a renowned upscale dining destination in Hong Kong.  Upon arrival, we were promptly led upstairs to the opulent dining room.  A retro-pop trio were already belting out lovely classic pop songs decades old.  The 3 of us had a spacious table close by the trio.  I could tell these 3 Filipino musicians were very experienced and were perfect in all the songs that they performed. They went on to serenade tables that were celebrating special dates. Later on they came to us who were just there checking out. They politely asked us to select songs. My husband suggested something upbeat and cheerful. They sang "I love you more than I can say". That was unexpected and made us laugh. I later requested "Love Me Tender" by Elvis. The singer did a great job and purposely changed the lyrics towards the end. It was very enjoyable and fun. Although male clients were no longer required to wear suits, all of their serving team (all men) were still wearing tuxedos and white gloves. And most dishes were prepared tableside. Some of their waiters have been working there for decades. Now onto the food. There were 2 set dinner menus to choose from, we opted for a 4-course dinner that cost more, HK$1,380.00 (US$178) plus 10% service charge per person, but with items that sounded enticing to us.  There were 3 choices of the first course, both my husband and I chose Seared Foie Gras with Baby Burgundy Pears and Figs.  Our daughter went with Scottish Smoked Salmon and Tuna, Green Pea and Caviar.  For the soup course, all 3 of us chose Cream of Abalone and Fish Maw Chowder instead of the Classic Ox-Tail Soup.  Then, we were served a citrus sherbet to cleanse our pallets before we enjoyed the mains.  For the mains, I went with Grilled New Zealand Lamb Chops with Garlic, Rosemary and Parsley.  My husband picked Australian Lobster Thermidor (half piece), Beef Mignon, with Green Peppercorn Sauce.  Daughter selected Saikyo-Yaki Chilean Seabass, Grilled Asparagus.  All 3 of us picked Glazed Mango Crème Brulee as our dessert course.  Mango in Crème Brulee was a nice touch.  All the dishes were delicious.  My lamb chops were tender and had the perfect flavor.     The 4-course included coffee or tea at the end of the dinner.  Although the nervous young waiter poured a bit too much cream into my coffee, I was surprised to find the coffee was still rich and strong, more like a good latte.  Other drinks were not included.  A bottle of still mineral water was HK$80 (US$10), my husband and daughter each had a glass of Chardonnay, HK$360 (US$46).  My glass of Dancing in Wonderland, HK$90 (US$12), recommended by the manager, was like a Virgin Pina Colada.  However, I would like the latter better than the Wonderland drink that's milk heavy. The included bread was very good. One piece was warm and soft; another thin piece was light and crispy. At the end of the dinner, they brought out the complimentary chocolate balls with ice cream inside, presented with dry ice. That was a very nice touch too. Service was impeccable as expected. The manager even happily took photos for us with our smart phone and old-school flash camera. Towards the end of the dinner, they gave my daughter and me each a long stem red rose, how sweet. The final tab was HK$5,237.00 (US$676), that included HK$100 that my husband included as an appreciative gesture. (In Hong Kong, you don't need to tip when there is a 10% service charge).  However, with this price point (US$225 per person), there are a lot of choices in Hong Kong.  We did enjoy the experience a lot, especially the happy serenading of songs at the table.  However, there was no pleasant surprises or innovation in the food to us.  I felt like we had stepped back in time.  Maybe everything was too traditional to me?  I understand that in the 80s Amigo was a tip-top luxurious restaurant in Hong Kong, and over the decades it attracted many celebrities to visit.  Patrons used to make reservations 3 months ahead of time.  Now, we only made our reservations 2 days ahead.  My daughter is social media savvy and she had never heard of Amigo.  I like the restaurant, but I don't know how long it could sustain if it could not attract the younger generations.  I am feeling nostalgic and a little sad.  I am glad that we went to Amigo and enjoyed it, though.  It is like a piece of Hong Kong history that we will not forget.

The name is a little misleading; its call Amigo, but this is a french restaurant. Located in Happy…read moreValley, right across the race track, Amigo is a unique French dining experience. Unlike most fancy restaurants in Hong Kong, this is one of those rare ones where I didn't feel like I got ripped off! I guess there are good reasons why this restaurant has been open since the 1960s. The experience begins as soon as you get near the front entrance and have the doors opened for you. They bring you upstairs to your table, and you are greeted with personalized notepads with your name on it (given during reservation). The decor is classy and simple. Its feels like you stepped into a old wooden cabin inside. There are some antiques around, and each table even has a beautiful fresh flower centerpiece. Came here for a birthday and we ordered the four course dinner set, which I selected the foie gras, shrimp soup, fillet of beef, souffle for dessert, and coffee. Before the main you are served some fruity ice cream to cleanse your palette. And you also get some chocolate covered ice cream balls after you've finished all your meal, right before you leave. The food was fantastic and I definitely don't have any complaints about it whatsoever. Throughout the meal there is even a wonderful 3 person band that goes around each table singing and playing music. When you get to your table you can make any requests for them, and I was pretty impressed they know so many songs! Current and old, these guys are pretty amazing and sounded great. Back to the experience; how do they make it a truly unique experience? By giving a whole mini birthday cake (rather than just a slice)! I was pretty surprised, as I thought they would give the typical cake slice for a birthday celebration. NOPE they went above and beyond your typical customer service by giving you a whole mini birthday cake. To top that off they brought it out by having the 3 person band sing happy birthday to you. Not only that but the ladies in the house also get a rose to go. Have only been here once, but it hands down became my favorite restaurant for special occasions. It is truly a special dining experience and I highly recommend it.

My friend and I were originally seated at the bar, a bit cramped due to our large carrying bags, but luckily a high table opened up and we moved there. We ordered the following: - Blackbeard Secret (Coca-Cola with a shot of espresso) $40 - Definitely not what I expected at all. Interesting combination, but not particularly fond of it. - Rose Latte $45 - Best I've tasted in HK! Very delicate and delicious! You can taste the rose flavor, which I enjoyed very much. I suppose you can say I'm going through a rose-flavor phase, from my previous review, haha. - Orange Caramel Mocha $45- I was concerned that the caramel would make it too sweet, but it was just right. I love the combination of anything with orange and chocolate, so this was right up my alley. - Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting - absolutely divine. - Almond croissant - sublime. The food was served on a cute wooden board. The almond croissant was warmed up, perfect. Overall a great place to catch up with friends and enjoy some delicious coffee and treats!

I'm surprised to see reviews praising the coffee here. I tried both the cappuccino and the latte…read moreand they are unequivocally bad. My rating is based on the following: Coffee: 1.5 stars Environment: 3 stars The cappuccino had no foam what so ever and even with the milk the bitterness of the coffee really cut through. The coffee is strong so if you need a pick me up this would do. Using Starbucks as a baseline for average. This coffee is below that standard. The latte wasn't much better. The coffee was really bitter and you don't get any silky smoothness from the milk. Had a hard time finishing my drink. I drink black espresso all the time so it is not because I'm not used to drinking stronger coffee that my opinion is this way. The decoration of the place is cool, but the place is really cramped. They also only have high chairs with small tables. Sitting there for more than a few minutes was not enjoyable. There are so many better coffee choices in Wan Chai.

Came to Louise to try their famous roast chicken, which takes five days to prepare, and costs (HKD…read more$1188) for half a chicken, salad and rice. Prior to eating here, my dad joked that a Chinese roast chicken was probably better. Louise has a Michelin star and has the setting to match. Unfortunately it was a bit too warm and humid to sit outside, which would have been lovely. We ordered a few dishes, including their famous chicken. The hamachi crude was fantastic, as was the pate en croute. If it had been just these two dishes, I would have given Louise five stars. However, their famous chicken missed the mark. They make quite a show of it, bringing a whole chicken to your table so that you can take pics, before serving. I am convinced that the chicken they showed was not the same one that was served as it did not have any aroma wafting from it. I think they brought it out to show the table next to us as well. The chicken was ok. The skin wasn't as glorious as a Chinese roast chicken and the meat not as tasty. The fried rice had bits of chicken skin in it, which unfortunately tasted overcooked, thus marring the flavor of the rice. I knew it was bad when I was eager to take more romaine lettuce salad, instead of more fried rice. Service is top notch. Roast chicken is totally overrated.
