Came by on a Sunday for Brunch and was drawn in by the amazing decor and high ceilings which gave a nice comfortable feeling and was perfect for chilling out for a few hours on Sunday morning whilst getting into a hearty breakfast.First up on the menu was 'Casanova's Sleepover', which was lamb/pork sausages, bacon, spinach, white beans and a poached egg on a crumpet. It was good and hearty and very filling, but none of the flavours really stood out. The egg was done ok, but a touch overdone, and
First up on the menu was 'Casanova's Sleepover', which was lamb/pork sausages, bacon, spinach, white beans and a poached egg on a crumpet. It was good and hearty and very filling, but none of the flavours really stood out. The egg was done ok, but a touch overdone, and it seemed like casanova had slept in on this one.
Also tried the 'Drowned Pig' which sounded great on the menu (cured salmon and pig gristle!), but in practice failed to deliver. The flavours didn't really wash together and left us wanting more, but not in a good way.
Thankfully we also ordered the pancakes which saved the whole experience. They were perfectly done, and the coffee topping and ice cream really paired up well to give a real Sunday brekkie feeling and left us wanting more. It was just enough to fill us up, and was perfectly paired with an english breakfast tea to wash it down. This is definitely on the recommend list, especially for anyone who loves the taste of coffee.
All this was complimented well with nice friendly staff, and for once in Hong Kong an uncrowded restaurant where you don't feel claustrophobic or rushed to finish your meal. A great place for a sunday brunch.
