The Continental is the latest restaurant venture from the Swire Group after Plat du Jour and Public in Quarry Bay (both of which I have visited by the way since I work in the area). It took over from Domani's old space on the fourth level of Pacific Place which is the same floor as the entrances to the adjacent hotels. The space was lovely altogether from the spacious and chic indoor interior to the outdoor space in the garden which would be perfect for dining in warmer weather. Even though the

Even though the consultant - Chef Rowley Leigh - for the restaurant is British, the menu is more French with a little bit of Italian and British thrown into the mix.

Omelette ($85) - with a choice of Gruyere cheese or fine herbs filling, J opted for cheese and the omelette arrived perfectly cooked as it was soft and moist while the fillings just melted in the mouth. [4/5]

Beef Carpaccio Salad ($195) - with shaved foie gras, watercress, fig jam and sourdough toast. It was refreshing to eat while I especially love the fig jam but the raw beef lacked a bit of flavor that one would expect from a carpaccio. [3.8/5]

Pappardelle with Short Ribs and Gremolata ($145) - originally paired with shell pasta, we asked them to switch it to pappardelle for us since it is J's favorite and we didn't like the pappardelle dish pairing with artichoke. The meat was decent but the entire pasta dish just tasted very buttery and one dimensional so it was a bit disappointing. [3.5/5]

Hanger Steak ($235) - prepared in a Spanish Josper grill (Penthouse has one as well), the hanger steak came with shallot and red wine sauce. Prepared medium rare, the beef was flavorful albeit a bit tough in texture. The sauce was lovely though and enhanced the steak perfectly. The fries that came on the side were nice and crispy as well. Can't help but think that this is like a fancier version of steak frites. [4/5]

Paris-Brest ($90) - it was hard to choose a dessert to try (funny that always happen when it comes to dessert haha) but I went for the paris-brest because I saw that people said it was good. The praline cream was not bad but the choux pastry was quite salty for some reason which really threw the flavors off for this dessert. Should have gone for the chocolate souffle with pistachio ice cream instead as it looked pretty good. [3.5/5]

Verdict - after dining at all of the restaurants from Swire now, it strikes me that they tend to play it very safe when it comes to their menu and flavors. The food may not be the most innovative or creative, but it was solid for the most part. For the relatively high prices though, I would expect more from The Continental especially since the restaurant scene is so competitive in Hong Kong where many are offering more exciting dishes for less $.

The Continental剛剛在金鐘新開業了,感謝好友W小姐一早起床陪我來試試 : )餐廳就在Pacific Place四樓,多幅落地玻璃滲進日光,氣氛非常寫意﹗我們早上八時半到達,整間餐廳只有我們兩個客人 : )一室綠意 : )這裡還有室外位置,太好了﹗我和W小姐各點了一份 "The Cooked Breakfast" (HK$175),當中包括咖啡和可添飲的鮮榨果汁 ^_^我們要了 "Eggs Benedict" 和 "American Pancakes with Streaky Bacon" 一起分享。"Eggs Benedict"美味得不得了,Muffin烘得表層略脆,而內裡口感煙韌﹗ 那個荷蘭醬creamy又香濃,一切開,晶瑩蛋汁瞬間湧出,加上惹味的火腿,實在回味無窮﹗"American Pancakes" 帶牛油香,香軟滋味,和薄脆煙肉是絕配﹗最後來一杯Latte,本來對這裡的咖啡沒有太大期望,沒料到濃度適中,奶泡綿密又質感柔滑,讚讚讚﹗這裡無論環境、食物和服務都是上佳之選,我和W小姐都覺得物有所值,在這裡享受了一個非常美麗的早上呢﹗

While the structure retains its iconic exterior with the elegant fluid/wavy roof and glass walls, the interior is re-vamped by David Collins Studio (that designed a number of Michelin restaurants), who retains the organic wood and bronze of its predecessor while injecting "Continentality" with warm accents of emerald green.

While the drinks list is commendable, I wasn't able to find the Italian favorites I used to order at Domani; hence I turned to Scotch, and was delighted to see that they had around 20 quality names to choose from. I picked the love-it-or-hate-it Laphroiag 10-Year ($180) since smokiness has been my recent craze. A note of caution to fellow whisky-lovers: order your drink neat or ice on the side since they do not have proper ice.
Cherrystone Clams on the Half Shell

Given the restaurant's focus on fresh locally-sourced organic ingredients, it was natural to start with some fresh seafood. Cherrystone Clams on the Half Shell ($120) were quite succulent and the stringy texture allowed you to better detect the sweetness while chewing. The sauce, which contained diced shallots, peppers and vinegar also paired well with the clams. I would recommend this dish if not for the sand that wasn't thoroughly washed from the shells.

Moving on to the mains, the Hanger Steak with Chips and Shallot & Red Wine Sauce ($235) was a no-brainer for me, the meat was tender and cooked to medium-rare to my preference. The fries were shoe-string, which I much prefer over wedges. It was a delicious dish and a little moment of victory for me. The steak also came with Shallot & Red Wine Sauce, which resembled concentrated French Onion Soup without the Cheese, actually not bad; but I was happy with mustard, where the restaurant offered a choice between French Dijon, English and whole-grain.

The Snapper with Citrus Fruits and Olive Oil ($225) was well paired, where the acidity of the fruits were pleasant against the mild flavor and texture of the fillet. However, I found the snapper a bit too thickly-cut, and hence bland and lacking of flavor.

On the side, we ordered a Creamed Spinach ($45), which was different from the others you would commonly get at other steak houses. It was milky instead of creamy, giving it a lighter healthier substance. I really loved that it was baked under an overhead grill like a gratin to give it a bit of a golden crust of cheese.

All in all, Swire seems to have the F&B business down to a formula. The Continental serves well-executed fail-proof dishes in an ambient setting; making it a versatile outlet for many occassions. They also have an al fresco area, perfect for the breezy autumn weather as of late.

The Continental will serve as a café, bar and tea salon throughout the day offering a wide variety of classic and modern European dishes. The food menu is designed by Chef Rowley Leigh, one of UK’s brightest chefs who used to helm a number of popular restaurants in London including Le Café Anglais and Kensington Place.

The interior design of The Continental was put in the capable hands of David Collins Studio, the team behind the design of my favorite café in London - The Wolseley (and one of the most popular grand cafés in the city).

From what I have seen today, there are still traces of Domani remaining here although they have added a whole lot of "green" to the mix. It's also nice to see Domani's signature "rippling waves" ceilings are still intact.

At lunch, the restaurant offers an a la carte menu, a 2-course set ($225) and 3-course set ($265). I was trying to decide between the 2-course and 3-course but finally told my server that I would make up my mind on my dessert a little later.

First up, a basket of very high-quality bread.

Butterhead lettuce salad with spring onion, radishes and lemon - I liked the refreshing taste of the lemon zest complementing the salad nicely but the lettuce was not crisp like we thought it would be (2/5).

We started things off on a sour note and the trend continued - roasted snapper with citrus fruits and olive oil. The snapper was roasted nicely but the citrus oil was a little too sour for my liking (2.5/5).

I wasn't in the mood for an apple tart (as part of the 3-course lunch set) so instead I got myself a Paris-brest from the dessert menu. To my surprise, the portion was huge and it could easily feed 2 people ($90).

The Paris-brest definitely saved the day for me. The choux pastry was excellent but the delicate cream could have a little stronger praline flavor to it. Still the best out of my three dishes (4/5).

A bit of mixed feelings from this luncheon experience. Thought the service and ambiance were both excellent but the food wasn't nearly as impressive.

I am a little curious about this a la carte menu though. Perhaps this restaurant deserves another chance at dinner.
