Should have been a 5⭐️ but the service made it a 4⭐️.
The setting of the restaurant is stunning, by the harbour in the Regent hotel newly renovated.
We had a lovely table by the window.
Let’s start by saying that the brunch is pricey 1288$ (please see the menu attached) with a glass of champagne to start with, unlimited soft drinks (not soda water tho, strange…) and coffee.
Let’s talk about the service first. The staff were all very nice but we had to ask few times each time for our unlimited drinks which was annoying, same story with the coffee. You should not have to ask twice or even 3 times for your soft drink or coffee.
That’s what took the perfection of the meal away.
It was not at the level of the quality of the food.
Now the food, the star!
The starters buffet was great, lots of offers. I loved the egg mayonnaise, the salmon gravalax (delicious), the pâté en croûte, the smoked salmon, the unlimited caviar on blinis and so much more.
The lobster bisque was very tasty, same for the truffle egg Benedict.
We appreciated the quality of the beef. We all had rib eye, great cooking, lovely sides.
It would be nice to have mash potatoes or fries on the offer tho.
Lovely the different kind of salts offered like the charcoal one and thumb up for the home made wholegrain mustard.
The cheeses on the buffet were very good quality and I loved the honeycomb very rare in Hong Kong.
The desserts : I must admit I had to find spaces but it was too tempting to turn down. The tarte tatin was very well done. Lots of apples, slightly too sugary to our taste tho but still amazing for Hong Kong. The crème Brûlée was perfect, I loved it.
I was not impressed by the twist on the lemon tart, too much going on to my taste.
Overall, very glad we went. We had a lovely meal and would be happy to go back but expensive.
