It's the branding that haunts this place…read more Fair enough, being a champagne bar in the middle of Soho is a good sell to stand out. But then, if you are just looking for a night to chill and relax, you'll think, "hey, it's some fancy high-end champagne bar, let's give it a pass and go for some low key lounge." The truth is, champagne bar is a bit misleading. You'll get a wide range of the usual drinks. Full pint of Asahi for $45 at happy hour till 8pm, which is a steal on Elgin Street. They almost all kinds of liquors at happy hour price too. Granted, you'd still want to get some sparkling here too. Go for the parma ham set that comes with two glasses of rosé? Oh yes, they serve food too! That's right. Doesn't seem like they have a kitchen here, but they bring over the pizza and other hot dishes from the restaurant next to it. One minor miss - the air-con. We were sitting not at the "outdoor balcony" but the table closest to the store front. Excuse us for being spoiled kids enjoying 24c air-con everywhere since we were born, but the air-con was really weak on a summer day like the night we visited. Champagne would have been much more enjoyable in a more pleasant temperature.

I'm a big fan of the bar Flutes on Elgin Street. It is primarily a champagne bar, serving a variety…read moreof champagne based cocktails, but does do a full range of other cocktails, wines, beers and spirits. They also have a small selection of bar snacks and small plates, the margarita pizza is particularly good. For me, Flutes has always been a "let's meet here before dinner" bar. Right at one end of Elgin Street, it is very easy to find, and has an open frontage onto the street, so you can sit at the front and watch the world go by whilst waiting for your hot date. The front seats are bar stools and high tables, which make a great elevated viewing spot to people watch, but I personally find these seats get uncomfortable over an evening, especially if the AC doesn't quite reach you. I prefer to sit further in the back where there are low seats and tables, but these are unfortunately near the toilet. Drinks are standard Soho price, around HKD80-90 for a regular mixer. Beware that the happy hour only extends to certain drinks. The service is a little slow, even when the bar is empty. It has been much better in the past, so I may have just hit it on a bad day. Otherwise the staff are very friendly. I personally come here a lot, but mainly for fancy drinks, celebrations, or to treat Mrs L. I probably wouldn't meet the lads here for a pint, unless of course it was a pint of Janisson.

Lunch is much more affordable and if it's your first visit, I'd recommend trying lunch first. FOOD Everything was nicely presented and satisfying. I enjoyed everything. ART Well there is definitely enough art to satisfy most cravings. This is good news since I'm sure that the art display is the main draw for Bibo. You can also expect an occasional rotation of the art. LOCATION It's not that obvious where their entrance is. My best tip is that there should be a nicely dressed guy standing outside.

Anything less than a SIX star would be unfair…read more Ok I knew there was some sort of French restaurant down the Ladder Street (of course they didn't have a proper sign there). I knew there's a restaurant on Hollywood Road that my friends had been recommending to me. I didn't put two and two together, which was a nice surprise when I was there. Stood at the front door for 30 seconds figuring out how to open the door, we found the button 5 seconds before it was too embarrassing. Pretty neat by the way, blended well with the rest of the street. Greeted by the staff leading down the stairs, "Obey the Giant" was there staring at you making you feel very excited already. Oh and there was a mini sculpture from Koons, a skull by Hirst, a wall print of Le Fifre by Manet (which I suspected to be from Banksy), a graffiti by André, and the Princess Peach by The Invader. A few calligraphy graffiti by Tsang Tsou Choi 曾灶財 even. If you love arts, you will fall in love with this place already. You'd have noticed how the restaurant and the menu were inspired by La Compagnie Generale Francaise de Tramway, the original company resided at this very same address at 1930s. They didn't oversell it though, so it was a nice touch to have. We had a 5 course dinner menu to share and a daily special. Foie gras, slow-cooked eggs with crab cake, red snapper, etc. They were all way too good but as they keep rotating the dishes, it wouldn't be the most helpful telling you how they tasted anyway. Trust your servers' recommendations, if anything helps. (Looking back I don't even think I've ever rated any restaurant six stars just because of the food). What was worth the extra start was service here, which was top notch to say the least. Both myself and my partner noted that they had two different servers to recommend to us the food and the wine respectively, and each of the dishes was served by a different server. We kept looking at the arts around us during the dinner, and a server came by and offered to give us a short intro to each of the arts (which we eventually didn't have the time, but that's beyond the point). We also casually chatted up with the last server who served us the dessert. He asked if it's any occasion we chose to have a dinner here, and we answered, "Yeah, not a biggie but just a cheeky celebration of [something personal]." He later, as a surprise, gave us extra set of sweeties with a candle and the "Happy [something personal]!" written on the dish. We went over the moon. Will definitely come back, maybe to try their branch some time. (And if the manager sees this review, please let me know if Le Fifre was Banksy's work!)

I would call Bisque more of a drinks destination than a full restaurant experience. We enjoyed all…read morethe food we ordered however being such a small venue the staff are literally planted at the end of your banquette watching you eat. We were one couple out of three and there was also a couple at the bar chatting with the one bar staff and unless they knew the barmaid she also seemed to be watching over them as they ate. The two chefs work in a small but efficient space although it did seem they would be pushed if there were more than 20 diners. On booking (thanks to a cancellation) I asked about BYO/corkage and was told they preferred guests not to BYO & that they had an extensive wine list. On reflection this is inaccurate as the wine list is one page with a handful of wines in each category and two in the white wine section were unavailable and the first one we choose being a 2011 we were brought a 2012 which wasn't the best year for that wine and shouldn't be charged at the same listed price as the 2011. We selected another which was very nice. Overall the oysters were delicious, the foie gras was tasty on toast and the lobster sliders were very good with a little zing in the sauce. It is not the venue for an intimate dinner but nice for a meal out, cocktails or just drinks and small bites to share.

There are average you-can't-even-remember-the-name bars on Yiu Wah Street. The Sky Bar is a mix of everything and but being unique on its own too. It's in Lee Theatre Plaza. Pretty decent if you compare to Tang Lung Street (sans Mid-Town), Yiu Wah Street or Henry House. So even though they offer dart machines and pool table, it still attracts quite some nice and decent crowd. Big screens for sports. Apparently they have EPL broadcasting live, so another vibe to the mix during Saturday night I'd imagine (but hold on to your thoughts about coming here for late matches). Now the food was actually pretty good, which was rare for a bar in HK as well. Both the cheese mushroom and cheese escargot were well made. Pool table is free. You just need to tell the guys playing that you'd like to play the next round. There's a small private room too, with its own dart machine and the table is apparently made to play beer pong. Two small things though - (1) when I asked for a shot (yes it happens quite often lately...), they didn't seem to have shooter glass and poured me on a whiskey glass instead. Couldn't complain at all to have a big shot of tequila, but gosh, it tasted like the cheapest kind of tequila only college students would buy from 7-11. (2) It originally states it opens till 1am. It was more like 12 midnight, and last (drink) order at 11:30pm. So if you want to chill late night in Causeway Bay, make sure you have a backup plan. (And hence, no late night football here). Otherwise - I'll definitely come again for happy hour.

We booked the whole place one for a meeting and service was superb. They even offer discount if you buy bottles to take away.
