Wow! Super surprised there is a yelp entry for this restaurant!…read more This place I feel is not in the most ideal area. Personally, I don't like coming to LKF to have dinner or lunch or whatever. Still, I can't fault them too much for the location, and many people have actually done the same since there are a number of good restaurants in LKF area. This place is primarily a steak place, though they have a few other things to choose from as well. I believe lunch times they offer a AYCE sort of option, where you get a main and then the salad bar is buffet. I've been to it before and it's pretty good. I've heard however since COVID they have changed it somewhat. The other night I came and got the seafood guazzetto, which is about $300 HKD, and has a bunch of different things such as fish, octopus, clams, etc. Lots of seafood essentially. Other things I tried included the sides of brussel sprouts, mushrooms, bruschetta, some of my brother's sirloin steak, some of the fish of the day (halibut?). Overall, the food is quite nice. I will say, they tend to use a bit too much butter/oil here. I know this is kind of true whenever you eat out, but here it is definitely noticeable. I would recommend them to tone it down just a little bit, since there are always ways to spice up your dish without going overboard on the fats

I came here for dinner three nights ago, and I'm still full from it!…read more The five of us shared bruschetta (it comes with four but they added one more for us), the cured meats (a great curated selection), and the meatballs for appetizer. They also brought out some veggies and dip before we ordered (which I had never seen done before) along with bread. The highlight of the night was the steaks of course. We shared the florentina (aka the porterhouse. A 32oz wagyu beast) and a filet. The meats came on a cutting board already cut, so the sharing was easy. They were perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. We had roasted veggies and creamed spinach as sides. The latter was addictive! Chef Todd was around to explain their meat selection when I walked around to check them out in the case. We didn't get to send our regards to him, as we stayed late and were the last to leave. Todd, if you're reading this, hail to the chef! We went without a reservation and were seated right away. It was a Thursday night, but we had gotten there around 9 which might explain the vacancy. It's a great option for groups and celebratory dinners :)

Came here because I finally got a little tired of eating HK food 24/7 and I was just really craving…read moresome pasta. My bf & I did the tasting menu together (290 HKD/person = around $36 per person) and that included 2 appetizers, 3 pastas, 2 desserts. Tuna tartare- 4/5, fresh Octopus salad- 3/5, it was decent but nothing extraordinary Ragu- 4/5, good but the pappardelle was a little too al dente for me and normally I'm all about al dente pasta. Truffle- 5/5 if you love truffle, GET THIS! Ravioli- 4/5, if you love ravioli and ricotta, you would love this. I'm not big on extra strong cheese taste so this was a little too much for me. Tiramisu and panna cotta- yummm! Great way to end the meal. Ordering both was great because when the tiramisu got too chocolatey, I'd grab some of the panna cotta which had the tart taste from the raspberry. Good balance :) For a chain pasta restaurant, I came in with low expectations because in America, they would usually taste really bad and cost a lot... but this definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of taste and value.

Every single time after the day I had the meal with pici I automatically get sick, not long ago I…read morehad flu B and had do to throat X-ray they saw in the X-Ray that my throat is scratched. I don't work at your place but did you put sharp objects into my food?? The service is good! It's excelling really hard but I'm more concerned about my mental health. I'm still not recovered after 3weeks by now!! The Ambiance is really aesthetic. I really love how they have those candles and dark themed lights. They really match my mood a lot. The setting is a bit bad but still. No affection to the star The reason I gave 1 star is because I got affected by flu b. I don't want to get this sick and skip 2 weeks of school. I had test during the week when I had flu b. The teachers were concerned about me and kept pulling me out of class asking is everything alright in my family? If there's anything just ask me okay no need to suffer Madeleine. This place is good for food but not good for infection part. I hope if you're a worker, chef, boss/ manager/ director. You need to change the food/ menu it's a bit messed up. Giving someone virus?! I'm glad I didn't get "Hantavirus" .

Pricing is slightly lower than a sit down restaurant. I had pizza on my visit and was quite happy with my pie. The pizza came out quickly and had nice crispy and chewy crust.

Came for a very late lunch with a friend - arrived around 3.45pm. The first thing I noticed was…read morethat the pasta counter, which I had been highly anticipating, was closed. The server let me know that it would reopen for dinner service at 5:30. That was a bummer, but the place proceeded to impress me in several ways afterward. First of all, there was a pizza on offer, at $32 for a rather generous square pan slice, with no cheese. For a lactose-free diner like myself, this is a big pro. Second, the order system is nicely designed. When you enter, you get a card which acts rather like a card in a University dining hall. There are several stations offering different foods, and the card is swiped for everything you order, which stores the value of that thing. At the end, you pay for what you ate. I enjoyed an antipasti (olives, sundried tomato, and anchovy) and a fresh bread (warmed and sliced to order), and my total came to $40. Not too bad for a late lunch/snack. Nice ambience as well. Like other places in Causeway, especially near Fashion Walk, the prices are a bit too high for my ideal. But it's a nice place to sit down and has a very versatile menu. I may be back.

***Vegan and Non-Veg: Both are good here***…read more It's a good thing that the food is fairly customizable here ...e.g. The Cajun Chicken with customized salad. I added 2 types of Salad to the Cajun chicken - 1) Kale Salad (Kale, Pomegranate and Avocado dressing)..... AND; 2) Quinoa Salad (Quinoa, Brown rice, Roasted Pumpkin Seed, Dried Cranberries). With soooo many different ingredients mixed together, there is always a risk that you may not get any taste out of it.... but frankly it all tasted quite good! Among the hot dishes, the Kale Crab Rice was very tasty and had a generous amount of Crab meat.At just $108, this crab dish seems like a "steal" to me... coz normally I'd think Crab meat can really push the price of a dish up. This crab meat seemed to be fresh and was quite tasty. Wouldn't mind going for it again

Having been out to Horizon Plaza to go shopping on occassion, I was aware that there are virtually no places to eat, sit , relax. On Yelp, I discovered Artichoke Canteen, bookmarked it and then had a plan for our shopping outing in Ap Lei Chau. In order to find, locate the entrance on Lee Lok Street. It appears to be residential or empty and it does feel a bit strange. The door man confirmed we were in the right spot and we took the elevators up to the 3rd floor. Hit the restroom you see when you get off the elevator if you need it, for although not a great restroom, it is the only one available to you. You continue to walk down the large, cement open hallways and think you are certainly in the wrong place, when at the end of the hallway you discover Artichoke Canteen. Open for about 3 years now and catering to many weddings, corporate events, fashion shows, birthday party dinners, large groups, art shows, etc, they do serve lunch and dinner. When we walked in, we felt like we had walked into someone's personal home and kitchen space in their funky urban warehouse loft. Very open, lots of light, extremely kind staff...it is a great, casual space. They have a great big outdoor patio as well. Big wooden farm tables, mis matched chairs and table vases, open window to see what is going on in the kitchen. The menu has a heavy vegetarian feel and Italian influences, but includes wood oven pizzas, pasta, salads, seafood and chicken. Everything is homemade, fresh, quality ingredients, made with care for serving healthy stuff. They have pea soup which is a specialty! We enjoyed their soup of the day, which was a fresh mushroom and potatoe. So delicious, absolutely fresh and tasted like the earth of where the mushrooms grew! We also shared the paella, made with saffrom that comes straight from Turkey. It was superb! Washed down with a freshly pressed 5 vegetable juice, we had a lovely little lunch at the Artichoke Cafe. The staff and owners could not have been more friendly, welcoming and gracious. We felt so welcome and comfortable in this little gem of a spot for our quiet little lunch. We will absolutley return every time we are over here shopping at Horizon Plaza.

You can also choose to get only half a quesadilla ($98 hkd) but it's cheaper to get a full one for $148 hkd. They have non-meat options for the quesadillas too. I actually got their fish sliders my first time here. Nice and crispy but terribly oily. I'd love to try their Mac and cheese the next time I'm back in hk! I also think their al fresco area is great considering the restaurant is near the ocean. The vibe is so chill and slow paced in this area of ktown.

Far from home recently, I found myself craving a salad for lunch. I wanted the crunch of fresh…read moreromaine, the juiciness of a ripe tomato, and any accoutrement that I could find -- olives and red onion for a Greek salad, hard boiled eggs and anchovies for a Nicoise . . . I wouldn't be picky! After striking out at my first place (they were out of salad), I happened upon Cali-Mex. Think of your typical Mexican grill in the US (Chipotle, Qdoba or Moe's) and you'll get the idea. There is an option to choose your base (taco, burrito, salad, quesadilla), too it with your choice of meat, then add any extras. I ordered a naked taco salad with original chicken. It comes with sour cream, guacamole is extra. After a brief (5 minute?) wait, my salad was ready for me to enjoy. Crunchy romaine, juicy tomatoes, and rotisseried chicken hit the spot. The flavors were milder than I expected and the sauce was sweeter than I expected, but it was a satisfying lunch nonetheless. This location has free Wi-Fi, in case you want to linger, and the staff all spoke English very well. Beers such as Corona are available a la carte. Add a slice of lime and you're miles away from ordinary!

I hate to admit it but sometimes the adjacent conversations at the communal table are just so…read moreriveting that I can't help but eavesdrop. Like the guy pretending to get advice about buying property from a potential love interest but getting politely shut down when she pretended she was sick, or the other guy who made fun of his apparently new girlfriend for not knowing about Tiananmen Square, at which point she got really furious and then they both left. Sorry if you're reading this but at least you're anonymous and now you know to talk somewhere more discreet or at lower decibels - otherwise anything you say are fair game sound waves for the ears of a lone diner pretending to be reading nearby :p Onto the food - it's quite good, price to quality not as high as what you can find in any street cafe in SF/Berkeley but since you're not in hippie central then I suppose vegan fare comes at a premium. Top off your meal with the coconut raw cake for a satisfying sweet finale. But who am I kidding - I come here mostly to learn about the real estate market and historical-political events from conversations nearby ;)
