come here for the Kaya toast! it's nicely toasted bread with a little coconut and egg paste (Kaya). delicious. nicely crispy. the Kaya gives a nice sweetness to the toast. it comes with soft or hard boiled eggs. a nutritious start to the day. good traditional coffee with it. small shop but great location!…Read More

great lunch set: creamy veggie soup, nice main dish + a dessert and coffee. I grabbed the today sandwich and the tofu was crispy and tasty, and fries fresh. dessert was a light strawberry mousse cake with fresh fruit: good texture, taste not overwhelming. given the quality, the price (around 100) is a bargain. staff is nice and good selection of vegetatian dishes (2 out of the 10 sets available). will definitely come back and recommend. …Read More

a little gem in the middle of wan chai. pleasant atmosphere. interesting lunch menu at a fair price. the vegetables are perfectly cooked and we'll seasoned. I recommend the G Eyre warm salad which is almost a meal by itself. i also recommend the tofu/cucumber and red rice dish.there is quite a selection of vegetarian and vegan salads/apetizers however it would be nice to have more vegetarian options in the set meals. for dessert, the panacotta or chocolate fondant are just right, well cooked/prepared and not too sweet. …Read More

the eclairs are okay, a bit small. the puff pastry is lacking in fluffyness, it feels like it's not fresh enough. otherwise the filling is flavourful. the eclairs come in a variety of flavours, we tried chocolate and a light yogurt one. the main issue is the pastries are outrageously overpriced. thankfully I had a promotion buy one get one free with an app. I have found better eclairs at Kayser bakery for a fairer price. …Read More

I had a quick lunch at this fine restaurant on a Saturday. the atmosphere is very elegant, calm, chairs are comfortable, and service is very attentive. I had a soup, milk tea, a vegetable curry with a nan which were all very good. the curry was rich in flavour, made of cauliflower, potato, etc. the naan was cooked just right and full of spring onions. that for a very fair price of 50hkd for the lunch set. I could not have had a better experience. Very much recommended. …Read More

had dinner for two people the other night. service was nice. the atmosphere would be nice if the speakers weren't for some reason blasting some the latest EDM hits. appetizers were OK, both main dishes (chicken Kiev and beef stroganoff ) were bland. meat was obviously overcooked and chewy, while the sides (wheat and a potatoes puree) were very bland. we couldn't even finish the dishes. the dessert, a cake, was ok, although quite overwhelmingly sugary. even though we came out of the place 800$ lighter, we still had to go for a shawarma right after that. I would never come back. Avoid this place. …Read More
