I love steak frites and this is the only one in Hong Kong that serves the proper fries like the ones in France.
They do not take reservations so you have to get there early.
Steak frites is only HK$288 per head for a two course dinner.
There are so many desserts to choose from!
In the day it costs HK$288 per head for a three-course lunch including a green salad with walnuts, steak-frites and a dessert of the day.
There is a lighter single portion for spring-summer from Monday-Friday, priced at HK$168. Coffee or tea is also included – with ‘dessert of the day’ at an extra HK$30.
The decor here is matched to the style in Paris.
Here was what I had:

Bread:
Started off with crispy warm bread with butter that melted when you applied it.
I saved some bread for dipping the famous green sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
fresh green salad topped with delicious walnuts from Perigord:
A refreshing crisp salad which was smothered in Dijon mustard dressing and topped with walnuts from Perigord.

Steak frites:
They will ask you how you want your steak and whether you want the sauce separate or on the beef.
I decided to have my beef rare and sauce separate.
When the steak arrives, they will serve the first half on your plate and the rest is kept warm and served when you're ready.
I tried the beef rare and medium rare, the rare gives a sweeter flavour but the medium rare is juicier with a strong beef aroma.
After tasting the beef on its own I dipped it generously in the famous green sauce which was divine.
The sauce is vegetarian so you can indulge on it without feeling guilty~
The traditional way of eating it is to add mustard to the green sauce to give it extra flare which brings out the beef flavour even more.
I am now going to rant about the fries because I have finally found proper FRENCH FRIES!!!
What I mean by this is freshly cut fries that are fried.
They had a natrual sweet taste with a slightly sticky texture and they were soft which is how they are meant to be.
Again, they were really delicious with mustard and dipping it in the sauce!~

le Vacherin du Relais:
Finished with this pretty tower made of meringues, raspberry sorbet, vanilla icecream and cream!
The crispy sweet meringue and raspberry sorbet was just heaven.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
la Crème Brûlée:
This was another great dessert that was velvety and silky.

I will be back soon for steak frites and I recommend the steak medium rare.
