Setting:
A modern and chic restaurant with an impressive wine cave at the
entrance and jaw-dropping views of the harbor. Decor is functional and
minimalist and an open kitchen allows diners to watch the chefs hard at
work.

Food:
Alain Ducasse is currently the only chef to hold three Michelin stars
in three different countries, so it is with huge expectations that you
approach the cuisine at his signature restaurant in Hong Kong. Most of
the dishes fulfill expectations but the cuisine is not particularly
ground-breaking. The menu is split into two sections: original and
classic touch. The original menu offers a more innovative approach to
French classics such as steamed duck foie gras. The classic touch
section offers more standard French favourites, such as maine lobster
with coral sauce and vegetable tartar. Both starters are
perfectlyprepared with excellent quality ingredients and elegant
seasoning. For mains, the red tuna is pan-seared creating a crumbly
outer crust bursting with sesame flavours encasing the buttery fish and
the accompanying satay sauce. The Wagyu beef tenderloin with truffle
sauce is Ducasse-style decadence at its finest. The marbled beef is
rich with a thick outer crust, which is perfectly complimented by the
aromatic truffles. For dessert, do not miss the chocolate praline
profiteroles, which ooze molten indulgence.

Wine:
An incredible selection of wine, which has to be one of the most
impressive in Hong Kong. The sommelier has near encyclopedic knowledge.

Service:
Service is faultless with relaxed but perfectly professional staff on hand but not intrusive.
Price:
Our three-course meal for two, without wine, was $1,900.
