Lunch in Hong Kong…read more.. After ten days in China, we wanted to eat something different. We looked for a Greek restaurant, but it seemed to have closed. Next door was La Taverna... Yay! Italian cuisine! The cozy restaurant was almost full. However, the receptionist let us sit at a table that was scheduled for 2pm guests. We assured her that we'd eat quickly because we had to go back to the hotel to check in. Thank you! I ordered a lelemon iced tea (with liquid sugar) and scallop asparagus pasta. The meal included complimentary chibatta bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar... and a fresh green salad... yum! I ate everything, even though the pasta was a bit peppery. I saw a few chili pepper seeds... LOL! It was delicious overall! That was a great lunch! I was very happy with the authentic ambiance and excellent service!

Definitely not a place you would stumble upon, La Table de Patrick is quietly tucked away in a…read morecommercial building across from Lan Fong Yuen(蘭芳園). The decor is resemblant to a boutique hotel - red walls, designer lighting and an open kitchen. The restaurant is cozy, with the dining area smaller than my living room, I'd guess it houses around 25 guests at full capacity, which is definitely not a negative thing. You can tell that Patrick is a very experienced restauranteur by the thought he puts into the restaurant; there are 3 floor staff, so the table-to-waiter ratio is around 4, so staff are quite attentive. In addition, nothing will get lost in translation since the three floor staff are respectively Caucasian, Chinese and Filipino, talk about equal rights employer! The food doesn't need much mention since Patrick Goubier has already built quite a reputation around Chez Patrick. But as a general introduction, Patrick serves traditional French fare without all the pretense that goes with it. Prices are okay (in my opinion anyway), for reference, my tasting menu that didn't include wine was HK$698+10%. I think the set with wine is an extra HK$300.

We now have re-dubbed it "Pat's Place" given the entire vibe resounds with his passion!!! The service staff were friendly, professional and very attentive. We appreciated the quick response to our request for larger, white wine glasses for the champagne. Some people frown and call us "wine snobs"...under their breath. The young lady last night simply smiled, said no problem and returned promptly with the requested glassware. Excellent! A good bubble always presents best when avoiding the Hollywood-style flutes. The food was exceedingly well-prepared, creatively produced and presented and, as hoped for, lived up to and in some cases exceeded our expectations. Chef's enthusiastic involvement from A to Z really made the food taste that much better. Simply stated, we appreciated your passion. It reminded us of Casamia just outside Bristol where all dishes are served with helpful and passionate explanations from the chefs. We arrived early, which was enthusiastically presented with no problem, please have a seat and here are some nibbles! Great start. The slices of sausage washed in Beaujolais wine were delicious. The salmon cubes marinated in orange zest and smoked...wow, tres yummy!!! We chose the Tasting Menu. Chef was happy to make a few twists to accommodate some dietary restrictions and to ensure the four patrons sampled everything he had to offer...

There was NO language barriers since we all spoke Cantonese. At one point, after being asked a question about dessert, this server, not only did she not explain to us, she simply justed walked off! The food was not bad, but the service was so extraordinary horrible that I will not want to return!

Alright, I realize how important it is for me to write a review of this place, considering that I…read morevisited back in Nov 2016 and there hasn't been an English language review of it on yelp. Nov 30th was my penultimate night in Hong Kong (I flew back in mid-November for a visit and stayed 13 days), and as such, it was also my lunar calendar birthday (which I don't pay attention to). My favorite aunt & uncle insisted on a celebration, and with them pushing 80, I would lean towards something healthier. It was either the infamous Tung Po (東寶小館) in the Java Street Wet Market, or something dialed back. "How about something...vegetarian?" "Sure, your uncle knows a place near Jaffe Road in Wanchai". Wanchai is a commercial area near the convention center, and it's 7 blocks from the foothills to the sea - Gloucester Rd is an expressway on the water's edge, Lockhart is known for Filipino girly bars, Hennessy is where the trams run, and Jaffe is a mid-class hotel street. It's not entirely tour guide friendly like Causeway Bay, Sheung Wan or TaiKoo. Still, I know the south side of Wanchai, and the MTR stop is nearby (we are heading West, Uncle and Aunt will head East after the meal) and it's convenient for us. We met up on Hennessey & Stewart near the Caltex gas station, and walked to a tiny 60 seat restaurant on the ground floor, overlooking a rather quiet side street. First impressions? Elegant but a bit ostentatious. Mentions in the local press are prominently displayed near the door, along with some local culinary hob-nobbery, not quite Buddhism in creed. We made prior reservations and were seated near the window. First, a pot of puer tea (serve the elders first), then we ordered a few items. See, I am always perplexed by restaurants offering substitutes of meat dishes, the so-called mock meat movement. I like the idea of tempeh and gluten bits, but I just don't think it helps anyone to make them look like it came from an animal part (I mean, if the argument is not to harm animals...why make a mock pig and butcher it? If that's the case, make it a tofu infant. If eating that is wrong I don't want to be right). So my aunt decided to order some chitterlings (very Cantonese), some spare ribs, some vegetarian peking duck, a portion of tonkatsu, some fried noodles, and truffles fried rice baked in a pumpkin. The ribs and chitterlings were made out of gluten and tofu sheets and had a convincing texture, while the tonkatsu had a tempeh interior. They are not made out of meat, but for some reason, they were flavored like they were, and for a moment you do not miss it. The Peking duck were treated with the usual camphor savoriness and that crisp skin made you forget that there should be chewy morsels of duck meat underneath which were replaced by gluten strands. If you wrap it around the usual lotus bun "pancake" with the scallion and hoisin sauce, you might not catch on at first. I mean, it's definitely a weird sensation eating something that were flavored like it's made out of meat, with the sensation similar to meat, but not quite it. The fried noodles came in, and it was your garden variety vegetable fried noodles with mushrooms - good, but not great. The Truffles fried rice served in the pumpkin was tasty in that the rice was topped with a creamy mushroom sauce, and you were supposed to break off bits of roasted pumpkin into your rice. It was quite good. Dessert was on-the-house as part of the meal and features your usual platter of fruit (pineapples and melons) and an azuki bean based sweet dessert soup (your typical Cantonese tongsui 糖水). Overall, a great experience. It was a healthy break from some possibly regrettable meal choices during the HK trip, and I think the elders enjoyed it as well. The next time I am in HK I'll totally stop in for a meal.

My friends dad then invited us to dinner too so we ended up going up there.. I got to the table and a female employee came up to my friends dad and told him that there was a dress code and rudely pointed out that I was wearing shorts. She then bluntly stated that she would "let this time pass". Then the food came out. My friends dad ordered a salad which was very plain and the dressing was bland. He also ordered a seafood pasta which was well under seasoned. I ordered the squid ink cannelloni which was decent. The filling was a little too rich and but the cannelloni pasta was good. For the female employee making this place sound so fancy and the high price, the food sure proved it wasn't.

Ming Yuen Noodle Restaurant in Hong Kong…read more.. My friend, Paul C., highly recommended this noodle shop to me. It was very convenient to dine here after shopping at Ladies Market. The place was quite crowded and busy. Decor is minimal with a quiet businesslike ambiance. The goal here is to get a quick bite and move onto the next task. No chit chatting observed. I was temporarily baffled by the Chinese menus... even the posted menus on the wall are in Chinese - shucks. Luckily, my friend is fluent and she was able to communicate effortlessly. I told her what i wanted and it arrived! Wonton min was simple and straightforward. I enjoyed the shrimps in each dumpling and the thin, firm Hong Kong style noodles. Yum! My friend ordered a side dish of Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli) which was fresh and crisp with a subtle hint of garlic! Mmm! If I was in the area again, I'd come back for more noodles. Even on a warm September afternoon, comfort food is delicious happiness!

***4.5 STARS***…read more After doing the tourist thing at the Ladies' Market nearby, I was looking for something to drink but the group was more interested in food. Consensus won and my cousin expressed the craving for Hong Kong style beef stew noodles. We walked a couple of blocks until we reached Ming Yuen Noodles Restaurant (MYNR), a Hong Kong style eatery where you can grab a quick meal. They offer of course noodles, rice, rice soup and assorted side dishes. MYNR is well staffed where you saw them running back and forth serving customers. We were seated immediately and our waitress took our orders. To my surprise, she was customer service oriented. For example, 2 guys wanted beers. When we ordered them, she informed us the price of HK$50 per can, which is costly. We appreciated her telling us the cost and we cancelled the beer. Most of the group members were hungry so we each ordered our own bowls of noodles and shared sides of fried fish skin and shrimp won tons. Our food came out in about 5 minutes. I was very happy with my bowl of beef brisket and beef tendon noodles. They were tender and flavorful. The group members commented their bowls were tasty and pretty much everyone cleaned their bowls. I didn't have the courage to try the beef lung or tripe again. Earlier in the trip I tried some and it wasn't prepared well, which scarred me. I sampled the fish skin. It was fried to a crisp but lacked in flavor. The won tons were generously stuffed with shrimp and pork. I found the flavor average, nothing to write home about. Because I was really thirsty, I ordered milk tea. It was refreshing and very good. I finished my glass and ordered a second one. I really liked the staff here. Very bubbly and outgoing personality. Also they were informative and responsible. During our time here the restaurant was packed. Between the 6 of us our bill came out to HK$390 (US$50). Another very satisfying and reasonable meal. If you're shopping in the Ladies' Market and want to grab a bite without denting your wallet, make your way over to MYNR for authentic Hong Kong style noodles. NOTE: They also have menus in English.

UURO located in the Causeway Bay area in Hong Kong serves up Italian fusion classics in a casual…read moreand intimate setting. Vibes are moody and dark with dim lighting and dark wood throughout - located in the basement level of a mall complex the restaurant is quite spacious as well. In terms of accessibility, there are escalators going up and down that directly take you to the restaurant. In addition to brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, the restaurant also sells bagels that you can purchase throughout the day. My party of 5 and I decided to dine at Uuro on a Friday night for dinner. We arrived at around 7pm and had to wait about 40 min to be seated (you are given a number upon arrival when you check in with the hostess). This place does get super busy during peak hours so best to go earlier. Once we were seated we were given physical menus as well as asked to scan the QR code to order via QR code. The menu is extensive, where you can get sharable appetizers, pastas, paella, meats, salads, soups, drinks and desserts. In terms of food, there is a mix between Italian and Spanish food, a bit of everything. The prices are actually quite reasonable! My party ordered the following: - Burrata and tomato salad - $58 - Kurobuta bacon skewer (1 piece) - $28 - Yakitori skewer (1 piece) - $28 - Escargot - $58 - Garlic white wine Australian live mussels - $68 - Lardon carbonara - $85 - Tomahawk steak (16 oz) -$208 - Grilled lamb chop (3 pieces) - $178 - Seafood paella - $108 - Smashed wagyu beef burger topped with pico de gallo - $95 - Lime mintea (drink) - $35 Food came pretty quickly once you submitted your order via QR code. The Tomahawk steak was great for sharing and the burrata and tomato salad was fresh. The carbonara was also rich and filling - delicious! The mussels, skewers, and paella were decent where I've had better. The drink options are great where my lime mintea was refreshing. Overall, a great place for European food in the Causeway Bay area. The restaurant is the perfect place to share items with friends and family. Service didn't feel rushed and we were never asked to leave after finishing our food. A great affordable option in this area if you are craving European food!

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.

The mussels were super juicy, the chicken was seasoned perfectly, and having an Italian beer on the side was cool as well. They also had a supersized San Pellegrino bottle! The layout isn't the best - it's like a mix between a restaurant and a store and the ambience feels a bit off as a result if you're looking for a restaurant-y vibe. I don't care about that kind of thing so no ding. Service was great, waiters and waitresses were very attentive, and the chef himself even came up and spoke to us. Very rare to see that kind of interaction in Hong Kong. This place also apparently has great pastries, so get after it. Had some tiramisu for dessert also which was dank.
