古老的專屬電梯, 緩慢地來到樓上的餐廳, 其實就是一層樓的高度, 這老式電梯讓人緩緩進入了老式的氛圍。
餐廳要求是“Business casual-No sportwear/trainers/sports shoes”, 說的當然是 Gaddi's, 食lunch時簡單恤衫即可, 下身要穿長褲, 不一定是西褲, 以年輕causal 的打扮嘆個悠閒的午餐都可。
人生總要去一兩回才合理, 半島酒店的吉地士Gaddis, 應是其中一間經典, 內裏散發著18世紀法式宮廷的裝潢風格, 擁有八十五年歷史風華的餐廳有著迷人優雅的風華。
和友人於週末一試, 午市套餐價錢為$588,共四道菜。
點餐後, 侍應拿來餐前麵包, 可以不停refill, 這裡所用的牛油, 有鹽和無鹽兩種, 也值得一提好貨色, 濃郁的牛油味下, 好吃得停不了。
隨後侍應拿來悅口小吃 amuse bouche, 三種都和火腿有關, 好吃。

主菜為 Lobster and fish dumplings with creamy shellfish sauce and glazed vegetables (龍蝦魚肉餃配奶油貝類醬和蔬菜), 基本不是餃, 應該是龍蝦魚肉丸, 加上醬汁, 賣相可以但食不出龍蝦味, 只是一般。

Souffied chocolate tart with strawberry marmalade and pistachio ice cream
...
甜品是 Souffied chocolate tart with strawberry marmalade and pistachio ice cream (草莓醬朱古力撻配開心果雪糕), 半島朱古力及雪糕是出名的, 水準不用懐疑。
另一為 Suzette crepes (香橙班戟), 這是個堂弄的, 只見經理推來小車, 以燒熱平底鍋, 加入牛油並將半只橙放進去煎, 再放橙酒及點火, 將事先煎好的班戟放進去煎煮便成, 這也是半島名物, 同樣令人感到滿意。
最後要了Latte, 咖啡香味略遜, 一般水準。
而 Petits fours 則全是朱古力, 有點hea, 先前已朱古力撻, 又朱古力, 好食都轉下。
餐廳裝飾似法國傳統宮殿的, 在香港已很少, 食物也是不錯, 以味道及環境去算, 也算物有所值, 但可以更好。
