Atmosphere is nice, laid-back & friendly with a "floating on the sea" feeling
We had the 8-course-set-dinner (HK$680 per head), which was:
1. Seared scallops with lemon, thyme butter and hot saffron citrus jelly
2. Wedge of foie gras the house of lafitte, in a three bite sandwich with crunchy shallots and berry mustard dressing
3. Seabream (we had seabass instead for some reason, i can't remember ) poached with fine Spanish peppercorns, basil juice and home dried tomatoes
4. King prawns crispy grilled with Parma ham, tarragon aromas
5. Slow roasted rump of lamb (Margerette river Australia) with vintage sherry Spanish vinegar sauce and garlic cumin, confit, puree
6. Melted brie de meaux, dill with Spanish raisins and pine nuts in a mini casserole
7. Two hot sweets with cool delights
8. Homemade Chocolate & Tea or Coffee
The food is wonderful, apart from the fact that the King prawn is a bit too salty for me.
We had also ordered 2 bottles of wine - 2003 "Graves", not bad too
When i was leaving, we ran into a friend who also made some good comments about the place - a nice place for "clandestine" dates... coz you don't have to worry about running into common friends of your bf/ gf/ wife/ husband etc... fyi, he's french
In addition, the place is staffed with french too... expect nothing less from them!!
