Cafe Causette

Looking at the old pictures and recalled a dining experience in Cafe Causette of Mandarin Oriental a few months back when a special French gourmet menu was offered. The three-course dinner was originally priced at HK$588, it’s available at a great discount through Klook—definitely a good offer for a refined yet affordable dining experience.🥗 AppetisersI opted for the braised escargots and mushroom tart. The portion was larger than expected, rich and satisfying. However, the tart shell lacked the crispiness I was hoping for.Another appetiser option—the seafood soup—was generously packed with ingredients.🍴 EntréesFor the main course, I chose the cod fillet served with green asparagus, Parisian potatoes, and piquillo cream sauce. While the cod wasn’t as buttery as I’d anticipated, the sauce was a delightful surprise—flavorful and well-paired.The alternative entrée, seared beef tenderloin, also looked impressive. Both mains were served in generous portions.🍰 Dessert & DrinksDessert was enjoyable, and the inclusion of drinks rounded off the meal nicely.While the food didn’t quite reach exceptional heights, the meal was satisfying and offered good value for money. The cozy ambiance and attentive service made for a pleasant dining experience.…ดูเพิ่มเติม

以前来Cafe Causette 吃午饭已经N次了，我对餐厅的印象就是交通方便，但食物一般。今天早上天文台早已经挂了黑雨，但我一个好朋友就坚持一大早上班。经过半天勤劳，她约我来文华酒店吃午饭。她先订Chinnery可惜午餐满座，再订Cafe Causette就庆幸成功有台。Cafe Causette已经装修过一段时间，新装修有点像港式茶餐厅，对我们本地人来说确实有亲切感。我们今天除了点了亚洲食品外也点了欧洲食品，包括味增汤、海南鸡饭、牛排、猪排和牛油果沙律。奇怪的事情发生了，食品上来后我就发现与以前的卖相大大不同，比以前更专业和更吸引人。当把东西放到口里后，发现更是美味非凡。如果以前Cafe Causette是65分，今天应该有85分以上。…ดูเพิ่มเติม

一直都好想试中环文华东方酒店佢哋嘅下午茶，之前见到有优惠终于扚起心肝去试吓啦！环境真系好正！大堂高雅，落地玻璃窗望住中环街景，气氛好relax，坐喺啲皮梳化上，感觉贵气十足。服务更加系五星级，侍应好有礼，会主动帮你拎茶壶同介绍每款点心，仲会问你有冇特别需要，质素真系无得弹！不过食物真系失望到爆，尤其是甜点，全部好似海绵蛋糕咁，干干地又无味，卖相都唔精致，名大于实！唯一救场系松饼，热辣辣又松软，配果酱同忌廉好正。咸点就都正常，但冇乜惊喜。整体来讲，$7xx两人嘅下午茶，甜点濑晒，唔值呢个价，虽然服务同环境顶级，但真系唔会再嚟！…ดูเพิ่มเติม

今年想搞下新意思，唔想成日去酒楼食饭，所以同母亲大人去酒店high tea.我地有6个人，酒店都好好，安排到张大枱俾我地。环境：文华东方老牌酒店，环境当然舒适，当日人较少，所以每张枱客人都隔得开，倾计都唔惊嘈到人🌚食物：饮品有多款选择，我地拣左果茶类、乌龙茶、咖啡，全部都唔错；scone配最出名既玫瑰花果酱，当然一流；咸点甜点都大大件，但味道主打稳阵，没太大惊喜。所以建议午餐真系唔好食太多！☕️服务：侍应细心，服务都好好，一贯高水准💯价钱：两人tea set （$848）…ดูเพิ่มเติม

After joining the Central+ membership of Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, I come here more often in order to enjoy the dining discount and other privileges in the package. My last visit to Café Causette, located on the Mezzanine floor of the hotel, was more than five years ago to farewell my classmate who was moving to US. Today, I return to this all-day dining on a Thursday evening for a casual dinner.The restaurant is not busy tonight, and we are seated at a table on the window side, looking down to Chater Road below. The décor remains the same as my last visit, a relaxing café with some art pieces decorating the walls. The menu offers a wide range of international cuisine, from Asian delicacies to burgers and pizzas, from snacks to steaks, with also some classic Hong Kong favourites.To start is Brioche with Pesto sauce. The bread is buttery in taste, very fluffy and soft in texture, really good on its own. The pesto sauce has rich flavours of basil and pine nuts, with also some parmesan cheese. Great combination and in no time, we finish the whole loaf. The staff asks whether we want more but to leave some room for the food we decide not to.For starter, my wife decides to have Minestrone 意大利杂菜汤 ($198). The soup has plenty of diced vegetables including carrot, celery, potatoes, tomatoes and white beans. With a bit of pesto added to increase the fragrance, originally there are also parmesan cheese but my wife has requested to skip that. Healthy and tasty.She continues with Ham and Pepperoni Pizza 意式辣肉肠烟肉番椒薄饼 ($278). A fairly large size that is good for two plus people, the pizza has a crunchy crust with a lot of toppings, including salami, pepperoni, bacon, fresh tomato, chili and green bell pepper. Again, the staff has thoughtfully skipped the cheese per my wife's request. Flavourful and good in taste.For me, I just have the Hainan Chicken Rice 海南鸡饭 ($380) as it includes also a chicken soup, which is delicate in taste and not oily at all. The chicken thigh is marinated well, with all bones removed so very easy to eat. There are also baby pak choy on the side for a balanced diet. With also a chicken stock steamed rice, the condiments of ginger garlic, soy sauce and chili sauce are the perfect complement for the chicken.For dessert, I have the signature 1963 Mandarin Cheese Cake 文华芝士饼伴蓝莓果酱配云呢拿雪糕 ($178). My favourite cheese cake in town, the rich, creamy and indulgent flavours are pure joy to savour. On the side there is the blueberry compote and vanilla ice cream to make the dessert even more interesting. But to me the slice of cheese cake is already the rock star and no need for anything extra.My wife has opted for Seasonal Fruit and Berries 时令鲜果及杂莓 ($168) instead. A very generous mix of assorted fruit including water melon, pineapple, melon, pitaya, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. All very sweet and fresh, the serving is good for two persons or more also.Service is very good, with the staff able to call my name, and frequently come to check in on the food and what we need. The bill on the night is $1,310 which is reasonable considering the amount of food we have and the quality. A nice place not just for afternoon tea, but also for an informal lunch or dinner.…ดูเพิ่มเติม
