LOUISE

I recently visited Louise restaurant, and I had a great experience! The decor is really nice, and the vibes are relaxed, especially when sitting on the balcony. I tried the famous roasted yellow chicken with Niigata rice, and it was superb – the crispy chicken skin mixed with the rice was delicious. The onion tart was also very good. However, I found the angel hair with caviar to be just okay. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I enjoyed my time there.

Louise delivers a refined French experience with impeccable flavors. The Yellow Chicken was perfectly tender and flavorful, complemented by a stellar wine selection. Elegant ambiance and top-notch service made the evening unforgettable.

An outstanding restaurant run by an exceptional management team and attentive staff. The service and food quality are truly top-notch. We enjoyed the brunch served on the balcony—what could be better? Perhaps the caviar eggs Benedict, the whole lobster, or maybe the entire menu! Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Hong Kong !

We recently returned to Louise to try their brunch menu, and it offered great value for money. **Starters:** We especially loved the foie gras; it was a standout dish that set the tone for the meal. **Mains:** The grilled broccoli was surprisingly delicious, adding a nice touch to our brunch experience. Of course, we can't forget their signature dishes— the angel hair pasta and roasted yellow chicken were simply delightful. Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back again!

Led by acclaimed chef Julien Royer, Louise offers a sophisticated take on French cuisine, using the finest seasonal ingredients and traditional techniques. Housed within the historic PMQ, the light-filled colonial-inspired space provides a refined yet casual setting for savoring Michelin-starred delicacies. - 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 - ✧ 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙦 𝙇𝙤𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙚 ✧ 𝙃𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙙 ✧ 𝙋𝙖𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙡 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙚́ ✧ 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙥 𝙘𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙚 ✧ 𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 "𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨" 𝙬/ 𝙛𝙤𝙞𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙨 A highlight is the 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙥 𝙘𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙚 paired with granny smith apple, shiso, kaffir lime and chili. The flavor is bright and tangy, and the scallop remains tender. Another intriguing starter is 𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙙 paired with burrata, plum and sorrel ice cream. It's a refreshing twist to find ice cream in a salad, with the cold creaminess offsetting the earthy beets. - 𝙼𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜 - ✧ 𝙎𝙢𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙚𝙜𝙜 (7/10) Taking inspiration from the 3 Michelin star resto Odette, with potato puree mingles with silky egg yolk and savory chorizo, elevated by delicate meunière foam. ✧ 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙪 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙨 «𝙖̀ 𝙡𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙚́𝙧𝙚» (7/10) It proved a capable interpretation of the French coastal staple, delivering mussels in a flavorful broth. ✧ 𝙍𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣 (8.5/10) The signature chicken is definitely a standout, with beautiful golden skin releasing fragrant rosemary aromas.

We totally enjoyed the interactive preparation.

Service was excellent! I felt lucky to eat there as it seems fully booked every weekend for the brunch. The food is just like the service, also perfect. The quantity is good and enables us to enjoy each dish from the starter to the desserts. I really enjoy my time there, enough to stay 3 hours. They even recommended us some place for the rest of our stay and offer us some champagne. Will definitely recommend and come back 🥰

A nice brunch place, but the flavours are nothing to write home about for the price you’re paying. While the service is attentive, friendly and the food is generally fresh and tasty, it is a bit overpriced for what you’re getting. HK$1000+ for a roasted chicken on brunch à la carte menu, might be a bit over the top. I had their branch set with three small starters, an avocado toast and half the chicken (which was a little on a salty side), and a selection of desserts. Avocado toast was average. Dessert selection was interesting, especially their chocolate tart, which was rich and not too sweet. I know a lot of people who love this place for brunch, I think it’s not bad. Worth checking out and making up your own mind.

Overall decent food, decent service, good interiors and hygiene. Me and my friend had the egg appetiser, onion tart and the famous HK chicken. One thing I have to complain about was the air conditioning was too strong and it made us have a constant runny nose the entire meal!

We had a such an amazing time here. The staff was so very attentive and even remembered we came here before. Felt very take care of. The food is excellent. The bread and butter in the beginning was a bar setter cus everything that comes after is even better than that. If you order the chicken, be prepared to wait for a long time as we have waited 1.5 hours from the time we order. We were getting a bit hangry but luckily we weren't in a rush. We really enjoyed the atmosphere here especially the outside bits cus it makes us feel like we are on a vacation. Great time!

The chicken is pretty good,highly recommend Cuz we be there on lunch time, so no need wait to long,service is good Official website can make reservation

One of my favorite 1 star Michelins in the city. Louise is has a great venue and amazing food. We asked for the tartar even though it's from the lunch menu and it turned out to be a bit of a mistake. It's a little too minced for my taste. I prefer more chunks and texture but that's just me. Everything else was absolutely amazing. The stars were the frog legs and terrine. I've had a lot of frog legs in my day but none as good as this. Perfectly tender with a barrage of foam and sauces on the senses. Amazing dish. I'm a huge fan of French cured meats. I don't think they get anywhere close to the props they deserve as compared to the italian ones. The flavor and texture of the forced meats was sublime. My only regret is that I didn't try the roast chicken ‍. French chicken is the best in the world. Next time I won't make that mistake.

Louise came in Hong Kong with a lot of hype after the chef's restaurant in Singapore Oddette won best restaurant in Asia. Louise focuses more of an upscale bistro than haute French cuisine. I came here for the brunch and really enjoyed the food and the experience. Went back and forth on whether to give four or five stars but landed on five because service, food, and atmosphere all were on point. Food: 4.25 stars Service/Environment: 4.5 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: line caught cod with chorizo and beans, yoghurt cake, old mette cocktail I came here for brunch over the weekend and I was immediately taken a back by how different the restaurant looked from its predecessor. The food 1st floor is now the bar area and the second floor is the main dining room. The upstairs dining is really bright and vibrant. There is balcony seating but during the summertime there is no way I will do al fresco dining. The menu is sectioned off by land, sea, egg, main dishes and desserts. There is also a select choice of pastries available such as croissants and madeleines. 1) I opted for the chocolate croissant and was glad I did. The croissant was warm, flakey and had the chocolate was slightly melted. This was really good and would order again. 2) My next course was the croque louise, which is the chefs take on a croque monsiuer. The sandwich comes portioned in three pieces. They use a brioche bread filled with béchamel cheese, ham and hints of black truffle. The unique aspect of the croque is that there is a coating on the outside of the croque analogous which gives it an additional crunch to it. The cheese used probably wouldn't have been my first choice; however, I really did enjoy the use of black truffle. The side salad it came with was over salted for my taste. Probably wouldn't order this again the next time I come. 3) The main I ordered was the line caught cod- the cod comes in a light broth with thinly sliced chorizo and brunoise chorizo in the broth. The fish was really cooked perfectly and the broth was super delicious. Definitely my favorite dish of the meal and one I would come back for. 4) Finished off the meal with yogurt cake for dessert- the cake is topped with yogurt ice cream and is served with confit lemon. The cake is simple but executed very well. It had a nice crust and was moist. Not a overly sweet dessert which is what I like.

Elegant but also casual and fun. You are going to love the atmosphere of sitting in the balcony surrounding by the trees hearing bird singing. The pantry chef is amazing. Started with a basket of sour dough, croissant and pain au chocolat. Food is so fresh that we ordered lots of seafood, oyster, mussels, langoustine. So much attention to details even the side dish like the creamy butter to go with the bread, the toast to go with the burrata salad, the fries aside from the mussels are all done perfectly. Superb service, we ordered one mushroom dish that the waitress recommended. It surprised us with the explosion of flavor from a thin layer of ham fat mixed with mushroom. Wine list includes some small vineyard produce from Europe. The Austrian white wine we chose which is dry goes perfectly with seafood. Highly recommended.

Given the background and reputation of chef Julien Royer, I was quite excited to visit Louise. The restaurant is located in the well situated and trendy PMQ and has a mellow and comfortable decor. Staff were very friendly and attentive without being overly intrusive. The three course set lunch is HK$498 (HK$398 for two courses) and given the overall quality, seemed fairly priced. We started with an amuse bouche which was a langoustine based mousse that was refreshing, light, well balanced and flavourful. First course was smoked organic egg, potato, chorizo and buckwheat. This was the highlight of the menu. The richness of the soft egg yolk was countered by the neutral textures of the mashed potato with the salty chorizo adding bursts of flavour. Delicious! Second course was line caught fish (pollack), violin zucchini, pickle cucumber, wild anis and basil shellfish jus. Dessert was Madagascar vanilla Mille-Feuille, "Tulameen" raspberry from Vancluse. Both courses were solid 1 Michelin star dishes with quality ingredients and well executed but unfortunately lacked any imagination or distinction. Overall a good experience but didn't live up to albeit high expectations. No real need or desire to visit again.
