米芝蓮星級食府 Petrus

Petrus is one of the most famous French restaurants in Hong Kong, although it is somehow not given a Michelin Star this year. I love this restaurant because of several reasons. First, located on the 56th floor of the Island Shangri-La Hotel, it overlooks the magnificent Victoria Harbour. Second, every dish is like a piece of art. For instance, the dish with a lobster looks like a forest and the one with cod fillets is called "Spring". What a poetic name! Please note that the set lunch menu does not include dessert, which is frankly speaking not very impressive compared to the one of Gaddi's and Caprice. Still, it is good value for your money ($60). Besides, you may order tap water if you intend to save money. A bottle of still or sparkling water costs 100 dollars. Bon Appetit!

米芝蓮星級食府 Caprice

Crazy about the French cuisine, I have visited some famous French restaurants in Hong Kong at lunchtime. Thanks to the friendly and caring staff who put me at ease, I love Caprice the most. Petrus ranks the second owing to the superb view of the Victoria Harbour and the fascinating presentation of the food. Indeed, each of the following restaurants is unique and is good in its own way. Any thoughts and recommendations? Enjoy the photos!
