Yes. I’ve always had stars wherever I’ve worked, and I am proud of it. I also think this is one of the reasons why they brought me on board. We’ve also decorated the restaurant and built the menu with that in mind.
We’ve been open for a month only and we are already very full, so we are pretty happy with it. Knowing that we haven’t yet done any marketing communications as I first wanted us to be fully operational. People coming at the moment are hearing about us thanks to the word of mouth which is great.
One last question, can you share your favorite foodie places in Hong Kong? I do love
Caprice and Guillaume is one of my best friends here in Hong Kong (
editor’s note: follow this link to read our interview of Guillaume Galliot). I was so proud of him when he was awarded with the third Michelin Star! Of course, I love
L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. For Japanese food I think
Sushi Mori is great but it’s very expensive, so you’d better have something to celebrate. In a completely different style, I also love heading to
Yat Lok on Stanley Street for roasted goose. Simple, cheap and yummy. And to fix my French food cravings, I usually visit one of the bistros opened by my friends Jérôme and Olivier who run
French Creations (
editor’s note: we interviewed them recently, find the article here). This is what I love about Hong Kong, you can have it all!
