Big Fernand is not a new shop in Hong Kong. Their first branch is located in IFC and I was interested in going but then after hearing some rather mediocre reviews of it, I lost a bit of interest. Recently, they opened a place in Causeway Bay. As I live near and frequent this area on a daily basis, I first noticed the renovations when I went to get my hair done next door. Again, my curiosity was peaked. It's now a lot closer to me than Central, so I made a point to try it out when it opened.Big F
Big Fernand hails from France and has many chains throughout France and also in London. Now, everyone knows the burger is the one food item that people associate with the good ol' USA. But in a recent article from The Telegraph, the hamburger is the top selling dish in French restaurants. So much so, it almost over took the classic ham and butter baguette! Mon Dieu!
But as a Canadian, born and bred on the burger, I was skeptical. I told boyfriend for this new opening and he areed to try it out with me. As he is American, he also said "What do the French know about a burger?" Yeah ... really ... what do they know? So we went and we were prepared to hate.
But you know what?
We were pleasantly surprised.
Located in Causeway Bay, on a street that they are recently trying to make it hipper with new cool looking restaurants and cooler editions of sportswear like Nike Lab. The restaurant is larger than the IFC branch and more like an actual restauant.
While waiting for our order, boyfriend noticed they had fake moustaches. So, we grabbed a couple and stuck it too our faces while we ate. That was a lot of fun.
Boyfriend ordered the combo as he wanted fries. The combo is an additional $50 and includes fries and a lemonade. There is something about the French. They really know how to make an excellent fry. The fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They were perfectly seasoned where each fry was evenly coated. These were good fries.
