So the boyf decided to treat me to a nice meal out at this french style restaurant located at the back of Wan Chai.I have to admit I was a little bit dubious as most of the french style restaurants nearby that are run by locals have turned out to be appaling; bland and bad value for money. However this french style restaurant is better than many others that I have tried recently in HK. First appearances are good, attractive front and authentic looking interior. We were presented with a set menu

However this french style restaurant is better than many others that I have tried recently in HK. First appearances are good, attractive front and authentic looking interior.
We were presented with a set menu option (three courses including choice of two appertisers, choice of two soups and choice of three mains for 200-300HKD pp) as well as the main menu. The menu was well presented and varied and obviously been written by someone who had actually been to france, which helps.
The boyf and I weren't feeling very hungry so we decided to share a set meal (terrine salad, mushroom soup and steak) and a goats cheese salad.
The goats cheese salad was AMAZING. Although you only get three small slices of goats cheese they are melted to perfection. The taste of the goats cheese was much stronger than I had ever tasted before but this only added to its appeal. I possibly wouldn't have served the goats cheese salad with the dressing that was used but it was quite light in flavour and didn't detract at all from the dish.
The terrine was very tasty also although again I possibly would have preferred it with some bread and chutney rather than salad as the flavour of the leaves and the terrine didn't compliment quite so well as with the goats cheese.
The Mushroom soup was also amazing. I don't usually like mushroom soup as it can be quite heavy but this soup was very different, it had a subtle onion flavour which balanced out the mushroom quite well.
The steak (cooked rare) was also very tasty and came served with a small but yet quite varied assortment of side vegetables, though by the time we reached the end of the main course we were well and truly full!
The house red, a bordeaux, was not bad either and went down very well!
The service was a little average for such an expensive restaurant, I would normally expect a bit more attention from the waiter. However he did bring us an extra side plate and cutlery for the main course without having to tell him that we were sharing and he didn't do too bad a job of pronouncing all the dishes in a french accent.
