Have you ever wonder where you could sip a cup of hot tea with the smell of pine tree, without leaving the heart of the city in wan chai? Ovo garden might just be the right place for it. A florist and a cafe in one place. With Christmas coming along, they were busy making pine tree basket that filled the cafe a nice scent, indeed it is quite magical, like Christmas.
OVO garden is located at the end of the wan chai wet market, right across from their own furniture store. Where they sell pretty high end wood made furniture. After visiting their furniture store, we decided to stop by their cafe for a cup of tea and quick a snack. With a pleasant surprise, it turns out to be a florist place as well. Welcoming by lots of greens, we picked a table by their florist workstation . And we ordered a few pots of tea and their French toast for a quick bite. ( no refill for their tea, so a pot of tea (extra for $12) is a better choice than a cup, and you can probably share among 2 people )
The tea that they served are Dilmah tea, a good quality aromatic tea. And the French toast are freshly fried topped with a scope of ice cream and layer of cinnamon. I shared it among a group of 4 and the portion is definetly generous. The French toast itself isn't too sweet, with a touch of cinnamon is just right for me. Just wished they added in a bit more fruit or have the fruit cut a big larger . But other than that it was just perfect.
We didn't get to try their coffee and other dishes, so I can't say much about their food selection and menu. But the ambience is quite nice. A good comfortable resting place if you are in the area. And they do have a 90 min limit for meal time, probably due to their limited seatings. Not sure how strict they are about their policy. But would also recommend their furniture store as well! read more
