Recently I took a weeklong trip to Shanxi for business and pleasure, and although I got to have some good Shanxi food, mostly I had terrible hotel buffets (breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 3 days in a row at the conference!) and terrible greasy noodles at train stations and tourist traps. Arriving home, predictably delayed, what I really wanted was a burger.The burger options near me (Sheung Wan area) aren't great. Bowl Burger closed and I don't even think it was open for dinner. Same for GBU. Canteen does an OK one, but you have to go to Canteen, and that was not the ambience I was looking for. I learned just recently that The Lot on Possession does a good burger (review of that to come), but I didn't know then what I know now. La Viola seemed like my only option, and my friend who lives at Island Crest swears by the burger, so I set out to give it a go.I don't have a lot to say. The burger was certainly good. I had to ask for ketchup and mustard, but that's better than them pre-slathering the burger with some condiment I didn't want. There was lettuce and tomato on it, but they're obscured in the picture. The patty was cooked as ordered (medium), but I felt it was on the over-seasoned side. The cheese was melty American stuff, which I am not against by any means. There was an egg that was thankfully easy to remove. Mama told me there are three things you never do: pee into the wind; mess with Superman; and put eggs on hamburgers. True story. Burger score: good, B-The fries were truly awful shoestring fries. And that's not coming from someone who just has a vendetta against shoestring fries-- I like the fries at McDonald's. These were just flavorless potato-like sticks. I'd've preferred potato chips to be honest. Fry score: terrible, F.Salad: I will admit that I skipped the salad, and I ate all my fries, despite not liking them. I think this is some psychologically deep American thing, some sort of compulsive need to consume fried foods/ fried quasi-foods that are placed in front of me. I need treatment.Would I go back to La Viola again? Yes, I've been there like 5 times already for drinks, and it's more or less inevitable. The rest of the menu looks enticing. Would I get the burger? Probably not-- especially now that I know The Lot has a better one. This one's not bad, as I said it's good, but I try not to settle for merely good burgers.

知道西区有好多西餐厅,所以系openrice找找,见到这间食评不差,就去试下服务员的态度好好,我们点了mushroom soup, 汤的味淡了少许,但如果连同汤内的mushroom粒,就加添了浓味👍Green apple salad 苹果几甜,配埋红菜头片,味道好fresh👍只是我们不太喜欢食goat cheese😁煎带子味道也不错😋和牛意粉,和牛粒不太肥,有少许唔知什么焗溶化了的Cheese粒,少许蒜片,味道很好😋😋😋👍👍👍已经有些饱,但点了1份Tiramisu,好soft,不太甜,正👍

Indeed, La Viola is my new love in Sai Ying Pun. This is truly a place to relax, and eat amazing and stylish food with your friends and your loved ones. According to my research, the Chef actually worked at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group in Hong Kong and Four Seasons London and Milano. This testimonial is certainly a vote of trust!We ordered Beef Osso Bucco, Kobe Beef Carpaccio, Seafood Linguini. They are all well prepared and full of surprises. I have to say the Grilled Lamb Rack with Basil Crust, tahini, Confit Tomato, Char Grilled Baby Corn and Veal Jus is heaven. The texture and flavour are truly irresitable after the first bite. You will never regret ordering this. The skin is crispy and the meat is pinkish in colour which is grilled perfectly. The meat is juicy and tender. You just can’t wait for the second bite! And let's not even mention the homemade Tiramisu... oh mamma mia! The multiple crispy and creamy layers instandly subdue you for the first bite.I think this is a perfect place to the experience what you're looking for, be it a romantic dinner or a casual week end gathering.

小时候经常与家人周围去,当中尤以铜锣湾及西环为多,皆因父母工作地点离不开此两处。在朦胧的印象中,西环是一个旧社区,与小时候的红磡甚为类似,唐楼林立,前舖后居等等,可是时代变迁频繁,贬眼间,西环也慢慢变得繁华起来,许多新建成的高楼大厦,亦令不少食肆纷纷进驻。是日再次踏足,就游走到第二街的缙城峰,当中有一间欧陆餐厅进驻,就是La Viola。在宁静及清幽的环境下,它彷如一颗亮星,带来了一个环境舒适又写意的用餐地方。室内以白色为主,配衬深色的家俱,设计简约但不失高贵,门口处是酒吧,旁边是用餐区,加上楼底极高,又采用落地活动玻璃门设计,令室内的空间感大增,变化弹性强,感觉十分舒适。第一道头盘是Goat Cheese Salad, Beetroot & Green Apple,起初有点担心膻味会很重,但经过焦糖化后的羊奶芝士易于入口,甜味中和了些微膻味,但又不会完全盖过,再配搭上青苹果及红菜头等蔬菜,令本已有焦糖合桃粒来增加口感,令层次更上一层楼,丰富又很清新。另一道是Kobe Beef Carpaccio with Rocket, Parmesan and Black Truffle,它的出现令我深深领略到国界无界限。我也是第一次吃和牛的Carpaccio,那份入口即溶的感觉十分美好,淋上黑松露油后,香气迷人,简简单单就做出意想不到的效果。意粉方面选了Spaghetti with Wagyu Beef,又是用最简单的方法,以蒜片及橄榄油烹调,面条烟靱有弹性,甚为Al-Dente,和牛粒则软腍嫩滑,油份甘香,实行简单就是美的概念。Spaghetti “Sicilian” Style with King Prawns, Sun-dried Shrimp and Tomato Sauce令人一试便爱上,充满西西里风情,辣茄酱汁浓香惹味,意粉又煮得烟靱有嚼劲,而且辣味又不会与鲜味互相抵触,咀嚼期间更有股咸鲜慢慢从口中散发出来,原来正是由切成小粒的虾干发挥的神奇效果,越吃越滋味,欲罢不能。主菜是Grilled Lamb Rack with Basil Crust,羊架肉质柔嫩,带点乳膻味,伴随保云酥同吃,内里的香料有助中和膻味,但旁边的tahini(茄子柠檬麻酱)却深得我心,酸酸地又带有炭香,还有阵阵的芝麻香。最后一道主菜是Pan-fried Halibut with Olive Sauce and Mixed Vegetables,盲𫚧煎得皮脆肉嫩,配上水榄酱,更添鲜味,轻轻闻著水榄酱的气味的确有点像虾酱,令海洋味道更重,但水榄酱始终不是人人喜爱。又到甜品时间了,先来的是Banana Pudding with toffee ice-cream,质感湿润,肉桂味极之香浓,幸好香蕉味并未被肉桂盖过,焦糖雪糕很甜美,但若肉桂味可以轻手一点伯更佳。Orange and Almond Cake质感结实,混有不少杏仁片,令口感丰富起来,而且橙味亦够香浓,每咬一口也充满橙香。我喜欢宁静,亦喜欢热闹,虽然甚为矛盾,但能在一个宁静幽雅的社区内,能有热闹的一面,又有浪漫的一面的餐厅,则是相当困难,况且设计简约时尚,宽敞的空间感最能舒缓紧张的心情,有什么比能舒舒服服享受一顿美味的晚餐更好呢?

Located at Island Crest, in the bustling, new up in coming neighbourhood of Sai Ying Pun...La Viola takes center stage with a sleek contemporary modern, western eatery. Jie and I recently went to a tasting to the newly opened restaurant. The restaurant atmosphere is relaxed, simple and comfortable. I like the open dining area...and there's a rather big open bar area...guess that means I'll have to go back to try the drinks!Goat Cheese Salad, Beetroot & Green Apple | $128. I really liked this dish!! It was such a fun combination of fresh flavours and contrasting textures. I loved the crunchy crispy layer of caramel coating atop the creamy goat’s cheese, the sweetness and tartness of the apples and caramelized pecan bits and fresh beet roots! Refreshing and tasty to say the least!Kobe beef carpaccio with rocket, Parmesan and black truffle was such a pretty presentation! So bright and then...the deliciousness of the aromatic rich black truffle and cheesy parmesan kicked in! I couldn't wait to tear into the tender beef capaccio! And, boy...all combined together- was perfect.BREAD!!! Focaccia and Thin Crisp Bread!! Loved the crispy bread!!Jie ordered the special- The Seared Tuna Steak w/ Mixed Vegetables....Cherry Tomatoes, Baby Corn & Olives w/ anchovy sauce, olive paste and mashed potato. . Jie really liked it. I'm not a fan of tuna...but it was pretty well made! I loved the fresh veggies drenched in a olive oil and olive paste sauce!! It's quite strong...so beware...but for me...I really liked it!I ordered the special: Beef Osso Bucco...a famous Italian casserole (similar to a beef stew) traditionally made with beef shin! The tender beef shin was rich, flavourful and tasty! It was a bit on the saltier side...but when you bite in with the accompanying mashed potatoes- it made it the perfect compliment.Seafood Soup | $108. This was a savoury, rich and scrumptious seafood broth. It was light yet rich and piled up with jumbo shrimps, clams, mussels and cherries! LOVED IT...better than some lobster bisques I've had at some mighty fine dining restaurants.Tiramisu, an Italian classic | $78. I loved the lady fingers dipped in coffee, and rum infused flavoured with cocoa bits!! The cream isn't quite what you were expecting! It's not ice cream...but this sort of rich, creamy goodness that complements the lady fingers perfectly.Jie's pick- Banana Pudding w/ toffee sauce and chocolate ice cream | $88 Jie LOVEEEED it...she loves bread pudding...so this was a big winner for her AND me. I loved the moist banana bread. The chocolate ice cream was decadent and rich and perfectly melded into the pool of hot toffee sauce !!! YUMMMMMMMOverall, I was rather surprised by La Viola. The starters and desserts had some distinct standouts. (Goat cheese salad anyone?) The mains were pretty good- but not too memorable, I think its because I ordered the seasonal dishes, but next time I think I'll have to try their famous dishes like the Linguini and Pan seared foie gras, or their home-made gnocchi w/ black truffle and cheese fondue!!! OH MY!!!!!!! I will be back!!! ;D
