La Saison means “season” in English so you would expect exquisite food all year round with the menu designed by Jacques Barnarchon, Michelin-starred executive chef of L’Etang du Moulin in France.
He has been working alongside various top-notch chefs including Philippe Gobet, a pastry chef of Michelin three-star restaurant managed by Joel Rebouchon.
Jacques was first featured in the 1996 Michelin Guide with a “two forks” rating.
Before I brag about how delicious the food was, La Saison is one of the few French dining restaurants in Tsim Sha Tsui and seeing Benny Li 李純恩 dining there last year, what more can I say!!!
This is my second time there and the food was consistent as the first visit so I think it deserves a comment on tripadvisor.

Started off with assorted bread which was yeasty and delicious with a choice of salted or non salted butter.
The salted butter made the bread taste delicious hence I finished the bread quickly.

Amuse Bouche:
0 讚好
The amuse bouche really aroused my appetite because it was far more delicious than other amuse bouches I have tried.
It just clicked with me because the cheese puff had a decent cheesy taste and the other one with salmon had a gorgeous cheesy biscuit base.

Before I describe the taste, you can see how perfect the tenderloin was.
It was uniformly seared with a juicy red centre that was soft and juicy.
This was exactly how it tasted a year ago!
There were lots of morel mushrooms which you mix in the mashed potatoes for a fantastic taste.
