Fast & Gourmet
By Aude
 
Weekdays lunch break? Boring!
Are you just like me? I do not have enough time to go to a proper restaurant so I am always ending up with take-away food … Not saying it cannot be tasty but being a real foodie, I sometimes wish I could enjoy a gourmet lunch at my break. I mean sandwiches, salads and bibimbaps are cool most of the time but I am missing these very French habits of having a real meal with starter, main course and dessert.
 
Lunch break is the only time of the day that I can spend just with myself so better do things properly, right?
 
Luckily, my favorite French Bistro in Hong Kong, Le Bistro Winebeast, got me pretty well! They just launched a new weekdays set lunch: Fast Gourmet. A 3 courses lunch for HKD 150 served in 45 min max.
 
How does it work? Easy peasy, everything just comes at one time on a very nice platter. A nice starter, a delicious main and a sugary touch to end before the coffee.
And if you feel like taking your time and eating in more than 45min, do not worry, they will not push you out …
For the fast part you get it. For the gourmet one, if you ever been to Le Bistro Winebeast, you already get that part sorted out. If you have never been there, let me explain a little bit more: Le Bistrot Winebeast has a French Chef, that changes his menu every 6-8 weeks and only cooks seasonal ingredients. Last time I went there, I delighted myself with Foie Gras, duck pithiviers and fresh girolles. Well of courses this is not the kind of courses you will get in the Fast Gourmet Lunch Set but it gives you a rather fair idea of the place and the delicious cuisine.
And of courses, if you get some extra times, nobody will prevent you from ordering A La Carte!
 
You know what? Next time you get 45min free and you're feeling more French gourmet than sandwich just let me know, we'll meet at Le Bistro Winebeast.
