Visiting this newly opened traditional italian/ french restaurant in Central Duddell street. It is located at a very convenient spot in the heart of central, just 5mins walk from Landmark.
Came here for lunch, the restaurant is definitely a decent place for a date or celebration with great food, services and also stylish interior.
We took the 6 course lunch set ($880) overall, it’s really good value for money, especially with the generous portion they served.

Dessert
Both desserts were out of expectation! As it is a newly opened restaurant, didn’t have much expectation for desserts in the first place but turn out the taste and presentation were amazing
Passion fruit cheese cake with mango sauce- the cheesecake was in circle shape with rich flavour. The dessert served with a thin slice of “biscuit”, cream, mini mango tubes, some crunches and foam. With the complex structure and taste, highly recommended 9/10
