Been given the tough task of finding a nice place to take a girl on our first date and being new to HK (less than 6 months) whilst trying to impress my date who had been living here for half her life, I wanted to find something a little different. After asking around for a Tuesday night date option a friend told me about Le Marron....Very very nice set up. The tables along the back wall are basically divided up by draws/curtains making it very intimate. Very authentic decorations to make it feel
Very very nice set up. The tables along the back wall are basically divided up by draws/curtains making it very intimate. Very authentic decorations to make it feel like a genuine romantic, family owned restaurant somewhere- only thing that isn't authentic is the fact that the place is very well maintained and in pristine condition, unlike some of the more traditionally slightly run down places through europe!.
Food was very good. Shared the seafood platter for starters- bit of a risk on the first date trying to crack open the lobster and crab, but managed and went down well...for main I had the Australian Tomahawk- cooked exactly to order, which is always nice. Date had the pasta with mushrooms and no complaints from her. for dessert we couldn't decide so ended up sharing 3- apple crumble, chocolate pudding (i think their signature) and pavlova (favorite).
Took a date, but would also go back for a nice mid-week dinner with family/friends. Probably reminds me most of our local family Italian restaurant (even though this is french), which we used to dine at every so often, but still very nice and suitable for those one off special events. They have definitely got the intimate/authentic/comfortable feel right, something i think is hard to find in Hong Kong amongst the big name expensive places like Aqua and the heavy bar scene.
And of course, the date went welI. wouldn't be bothering to write this otherwise....
