A nice hidden gem in Mid-level, Mosque Junction can be hard to find.

A great restaurant with excellent service and a chef of 3 star michelin quality.
Executive Chef: Philippe Groult; Chef Propri?taire: Jo?l Robuchon.

We decided to try the many small dishes to get a flavour of wide variety of food. Quail, lobster, chicken soup, frog leg, oyster, shrimp and lamb. Chocolate dessert and coffee. All delicious!

Regarding the price, it is on the high side, even more expensive than say Caprice at Four Seasons and Pierre at Mandarin Oriental.

Irene: I don't really like the atmosphere of this restaurant. The showroom concept is like an upgraded fast food bar and the table area is not spacious enough. I prefer Pierre. Although food and service are of high quality, this amount of money can buy same quality of food and better dining atmosphere in other top restaurants. The private room is HK$5000 for lunch of six seat table and HK$8000 for dinner, the room is facing the terrace. Maybe better to pick the private room with friend to enjoy the whole evening with great food and cozy surrounding.

There is also a Chinese food section which is cheaper. Finding a place to have a quiet lunch in Central is such a headache! Tho' this restaurant is not on the cheap side, it's as noisy as Cafe de Coral. I should consider somewhere else next time.

Had dinner here, the service is excellent and so is the food. We love the curry goose with lai chee and the Singaporean "meat bone soup".

Irene; Actually the 'meat bone soup' can never beat the one in Singapore. I love this restaurant, reasonable price for good food and atmosphere ;)
