My husband and I were around Ap Lei Chau the other day and decided to whip out our phones after getting a little rumble in our tummies. After searching through a few listings we decided on Artichoke [Canteen] and off we went.

Got there in no time and found ourselves a parking spot right outside the building among the ample parking space available (you can also park in the building). Took the lift up to the 3rd and upon entering through the wooden green doors of the restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised - here we were in an industrial building and greeted by Artichoke [Canteen], a place overflowing with charming décor and homemade furniture highlighted by the use of wood. The restaurant is connected to an art gallery that they use as a space for events and if you feel like going for a walk you can even check out their spacious outdoor terrace and be pleasantly greeted by beautiful views of the South China Sea.

After doing a brief tour, we quickly sat down and made our order. The restaurant crowd seemed to be mostly expats and we can see why this place appeals to them; spacious and charming, not your typical Central/Soho restaurant setting with soothing music playing in the background. Pleasant service, it was not long before our food came:

There's a wide selection of international dishes on Artichoke [Canteen]'s menu including this Boston Live Mussels dish for $138. The unique presentation made it look like a plant but it tasted out of this world. Mussels were super fresh and the tomato broth took in the flavour of the mussels and parsley making it very savoury; it went with the baguette pieces with olive oil all too perfectly. There could be more broth on this dish as we were left with excess bread after (though we might’ve gulped on more broth than we should’ve).

Feeling like seafood today, on top of mussels we ordered the Roasted Tuna Salad for $128. The rockets, pumpkin and the tuna went well with the yuzu dressing. Overall, I would say a pretty good salad.

We’ll surely come back for the Boston Live Mussels and try out the other dishes we missed out on this time, maybe with more friends. Definitely recommended!
