Root (已結業)

Trying this new French fusion cuisine the firs time with no expectation. It is very quiet ok Thursday, maybe because lots of people celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year soon. They have lunch sets for 2 price: 2-courses: $268 and 3-courses for $338. Very reasonable! Amuse bouche is pumpkin puree, ok! Tried the appetizer: bamboo shoots with geoduck. Very Thai style but I never liked those local geoduck, so not interesting to me. We selected seabass and lamb to share for main courses. Love the lamb, very tender and moist. Didn’t try the chocolate dessert. One disappointment is that there is no petite four. I guess maybe due to cheaper price, so it is not included.…查看更多

Great food and amazing service. The chef is also really nice. The food is really well done Had their regular tasting menu - really liked the abalone, foie gras and fish. The dessert was amazing too! This restaurant is really underrated so definitely recommend. …查看更多

睇到報導話呢間餐廳係做「Farm to table」，即係用本地食材，即摘即送，新鮮好味啲同時又環保啲。Root係中環H Code，主打fusion法國菜fine dining，我覺得有少少法國x日本？？佢既菜式、碟同環境都非常精緻，加分。麵包個牛油冇影到，不過超好食，再加分。…查看更多

ROOT is one of my favourite places if I would like to enjoy marvellous food and relaxing moments. Recently, Chef Vito of ROOT has designed a menu with a seasonal ingredient, asparagus (SUN 荀）.Honestly, SUN as a theme of degustation dinner is a bit off from appealing, even though it's the preciously right season of the year. Yet I have to confess I was so wrong! Totally blown away by the well-presented and thoughtfully designed seasonal menu, with such delightful and beautiful surprises one by one.Silky and fresh asparagus puree with caviar and dried fish chip. Delicate and yummy! A perfect start of a tasting menu of asparagus.Bamboo shoot with razor clams. Surprisingly matched with pure freshness from the sea and land. The vegetable stock made of purple cabbage was condensed for hours! Housemade white asparagus caviar! Lovely and tasty~ The pan seared langoustine with the asparagus consomme was so rich in flavour and super yummy~ It's such a huge and healthy coba 😂😂 Tasted its natural sweetness and texture. My friends loved the olive mud with crispy almond chips. Another level when mixing them with coba!We were told that it took 7 mins to make one thin piece of milk skin. I asked the Chef why it bothered. He said it's too boring to present green asparagus and ham and hence he tried new combinations with different textures and high quality ingredients. Well, the experimential outcome was very impressiveWe liked the tender lamb from New Zealand very much. Yet I must share with you that the treasure on the plate was the pan seared minced lamb at the bottom!! So yummy!!! Fully utilized all the meats of the lamb rack The lamb souffle was honestly strong to me. One of my friends liked the strong flavour but not my cup of tea~I encored the dessert immediately. That's how good it was!! Loquat fruit and asparagus?? Yes, Chef Vito won my heart by this creative and gorgeous dessert These Madeleines are soft inside and crunchy outside. Just perfect!! With cappuccino~~ We asked for another round after such a big meal Truly satisfied my palate, stomach and soul. It's much more than it looks in this sharing post cos I cannot remember the complicated precesses and cooking methods of the dishes that I was told... HahahaWhat kind of chef are you, Chef Vito? This small restaurant at hcodehongkong is new and there are lots of choices in central. Only gourmets know where to find you. ROOT may not be the best restaurant in HK, but it is the very best in the eyes of foodlovers like me! …查看更多

Okay openrice doesn't allow half stars so I gave 3s and 4s but tbh I would give pretty much everything 3.5 if I could. Lunch is $268/2 courses or $338/courses which seems quite reasonable and is much cheaper than their dinner degustation menus ($1280/$1680 for 6 or 8 courses), but I have to say food quality is just so-so. The amuse bouche (potato cream foam) was probably the best item of the meal. The starters were beetroot thing and smoked mussels w/ capellini, which were all right nothing special. The mains were a bit disappointing. The fish looked nice and thick but it was Pacific cod (?) which was the milder and less juicy (and also cheaper) kind of cod as compared to the silky, flavourful black cod. For what is supposed to be "fine dining" I would expect at least something like sea bass. The pork shoulder tasted all right and wasn't tough but wasn't exactly very tender either. It was also a little dry, probably just because of the choice of cut. The crab meat risotto was better, even though I had the least expectation of it. The ratio of crab meat to rice was generous enough, though overall portion was pretty small. Waiter said the rice was Spanish rice not the Arborio rice typically used for risottos, and I didn't really like the texture very much but taste-wise it was okay. The dessert was sliced apple and cinnamon ice cream (though the menu said chocolate something and strawberry sorbet) and it was just fine. As you can see from the adjectives used the food wasn't particularly impressive despite the beautiful presentation. Service was also a bit slow. I know it may not be fair to judge a restaurant just by its lunch menu (especially given the huge price difference between lunch and dinner), but I definitely do think they need to improve on their lunch offerings. For the same or even cheaper prices there are plenty of better options.…查看更多

Thought I’d try this new restaurant with my girls to celebrate my birthday but the food wasn’t as great as we had expected. the cactus 🌵 was a bit odd. this was just an ordinary beetroot dressed nicely. this fish was a bit salty this chicken was in my opinion the tastiest as it was very soft for a breastthis beef was 😋 yummy as well. All the dishes were very tiny. Guess they weren’t intended for sharing but we had a whole birthday cake afterwards so was fine for us girls. …查看更多

Came here for lunch with a friend as we know this place was recently opened and would like to give it a try. The food and service was great and I can see that the passion of the chef as she came out to every table to stop by and ask for feedback. The ingredients used were very fresh and vegetables were farmed to table. …查看更多

我地今日黎試新餐廳，係中環砵甸乍街，行左一下先搵到。今次沒有太大期望，因為呢排試左幾間新餐廳都係不外如是。佢位於一棟新大廈既7樓，環境裝修精緻，感覺舒服，可以喎！有露台比吸煙人士，仲有個private corner添！是日午餐menu👇🏻前菜一人一款試哂佢，主菜叫左duck同beef sirloin。先上餐前麵包👇🏻，係sourdough！好味呀！！麵包係暖既，外表香脆可口，讚👍🏻仲有佢舊homemade butter，大讚！！seaweed同墨西哥甜椒味，超好味！我地4塊麵包食左人地2塊牛油！麵包同牛油都可以refill既，超抵讚！👇🏻呢個前前菜，唔記得左係咩同牛奶打成既foam，灑上洋蔥粉同海膽粉。黎到前菜，先有65度free range溫泉蛋配parmesan foam同炒粟米👇🏻，譯名大概係咁。佢重點介紹個parmesan foam，牛奶煮滾左熄火先加parmesan，咁樣芝士先唔會燶....etc. 炒粟米好甜，食得出佢係一條粟米度刨出黎，並不是現成粟米粒。但比起個炒粟米，我覺得以下呢碟更出色！佢叫炒蘑菇蝦慕司意粉👇🏻賣相鋪排夠哂特別，之前未見過將意粉卷成一餅，再中間圈住啡色個啲汁好似係蘑菇雞汁？上面有炒蘑菇同個條蝦慕司，蝦慕司食落好似魚肉腸咁，不過再淋身啲，成碟味道同賣相都一流👍🏻十個like！黎到主菜，先黎介紹我碟鴨腿👇🏻🤩其實我唔多鍾意叫鴨腿，就算有幾高級，要整得好食既鴨腿好難，唔係肉質好似煲湯瘦肉咁，就係味道差啲。但呢碟鴨腿真！係！不得了！！！好出色！超驚喜！外酥內軟！！肉質唔算’鞋’，塊鴨皮焗到金香可口，入口即溶，食完仲有齒頰留香既感覺！佢話煮法係先油浸slow cook，再240度焗爐焗番香脆，太好食喇！旁邊仲有紅酒煮葱頭，蕎麥同薯蓉😍必試菜式！跟住係Beef Sirloin👇🏻要再加多$95嫁。好好食，真係好好食！佢話佢係Dried age左一星期，再slow cook，再煎。好用心姐😍個棵燒椰菜花個樣雖然衰衰咁，但好好食嫁！既然前面既菜式層出不窮，無理由唔試埋個甜品。👇🏻就係呢個甜品，我扣左佢少少分。首先等左好耐，我明既，廚房睇得出做唔切，廚師得3個，同時其他枱又要上前菜同主菜，真係做唔切我明既。但萬眾期待既甜品，名為yoghurt foam with mango and cocoa foil，yoghurt foam真係好foam，食落一陣風咁，唔知邊part係cocoa foil🧐跟住再食唔出有咩特別.....有啲失望食完出到門口見到佢呢個mission，真係講得好好，我覺得佢做到了！雖然甜品失左少少分，但整體上好出色！無阻我番去再試既決心💪🏻好快，晚餐再見！絕對值得一試的餐廳！❤️…查看更多

早前在雜誌看過關於這間餐廳的報導，店主曾在Amber, Robuchon 和the Principal 等餐廳掌廚，來頭不小。餐廳是位於中環的砵典乍街H code 的七樓。環境裝修別緻而高雅，而餐具亦一絲不苟，感覺高貴又美輪美奐。這兒的法式午餐分別有2 courses $268/3 courses $338，咖啡或茶另加$28麵包熱哄哄，香脆軟熟，配上自家製蒜香牛油，味道不錯。先送上Amuse broche這個house made 旦黃醬Purée 味道唔錯，口感幼滑輕盈，配上本地有機花瓣和自家製的風乾三文魚，賣相精美，而味道略帶鹹鮮。LanostinosLangostinos carpaccio with pickled quinoa, mushroom and toasted walnut 這紅蝦鮮甜嫩滑，配上藜麥、磨茹和烤合桃，整體感覺清新，口感幾豐富，味道清爽而輕怡，幾適合鬱悶嘅天氣。Kohlrabi and beetrootKohlrabi purée with beetroot ribbon, rosemary oil and Parmesan foam這道菜是素菜-紅菜頭切成絲帶狀的薄片，加埋Kohlrabi purées 和Parmesan芝士的泡沬，味道比想像中豐盈。紅菜頭十分爽脆清新，拌以口感綿滑的Kohlrabi purées，味道濃郁又creamy, 再加上Parmesan芝香，芝味十足又健康。Lamb shank24 hours vide lamb shank with buttered ginger potatoes 羊腱的份量十足，經過廿四小時的慢煮，肉質十分嫩滑，而且保留了羊的自身肉汁，沒有半點羶味。這道菜的醬汁唔多，而味道亦唔太濃，吃的是羊的原味。配菜菜蔬十分新鮮爽口，整體味道比較淡雅。Beef sirloinPan seared sous vide angus sirloin with baby carrot+$90這安格斯牛扒的肉質唔太tender, 帶一點嚼勁，而肉味亦唔太濃，但完全無筋亦唔韌。由於醬汁味道淡淡然的潤飾，可能是健康風味，所以味道唔太濃，感覺平平。Cappuccino +$28/Flat white +$28餐後少不了咖啡。這兩杯咖啡的分別唔太大。flat white 稍比cappuccino 多一點泡沫。咖啡味道幾甘香，隱約帶一點酸味，而奶滑風味也比較薄弱。整體而言，前菜及amuse broche 味道唔錯，而主菜是正常水準，然而環境高雅而寧靜，一點也不侷促，幾適合傾計食飯。…查看更多
