Perched high on 102/floor of the ICC, we booked lunch one weekday hoping to enjoy the view of the harbour from ICC. The decor of the restaurant was stylish and tables were spaciously laid out. We were being seated at the quiet corner of the restaurant near the big windows. Unfortunately for us, it was a rather cloudy and misty day and views of the harbour had been blocked by the clouds from where we were being seated😬. Their 3 course set lunch under dining city was $498 with tea or coffee includ
The decor of the restaurant was stylish and tables were spaciously laid out. We were being seated at the quiet corner of the restaurant near the big windows. Unfortunately for us, it was a rather cloudy and misty day and views of the harbour had been blocked by the clouds from where we were being seated😬.
Their 3 course set lunch under dining city was $498 with tea or coffee included + 10% service charge. I selected the following from their lunch menu: Burrata Cheese with Trio of Organic Sicilian Tomatoes, Anchovies and Fresh Italian Pesto as Appetisers; Sustainably Grown Mezzi Paccheri "Mancini" with Sicilian Red Prawns and Organic Basil Pesto Sauce as Main (Supplement HK$188); and Traditional Tiramisu with Coffee Granita and Amedei Chocolate as Dessert. Here are my tasting notes:
Sourdough bread and Italian tomato bread- my preference was the sourdough bread which was really crusty on the outside and soft and moist within. This was hard to do and having tried many Michelin starred restaurants in the past, this was the best version I found so far. One further commendation was that they provided a selection of olive oil that one could choose from, ranging from the mild to the more grassy notes. It’s was great for health conscious people like me 😅. 
Amuse Bouche- since I didn’t like raw prawns, they provided me with a vegetarian Amuse Bouche. It was some kind of celery mousse. 
Burrata Fresca | Trio di Pomodori Isolani | Acciughe e Pesto - atop the thin layer of tomato flavoured jelly, there sat some fresh tomatoes and a cut opened burrata. Apart from the tomato flavour, this dish was rather monotone since the burrata only had mild flavour, and there weren’t enough fresh pesto to lift the dish to give it a different dimension. Rather minimalistic. 
Mezzi Paccheri "Mancini"| Gamberi Rossi | Pesto di Basilico Fresco - mezzi paccheri is type of pasta in Italy in the shape of a tube. Here, they were done al dentel though the Sicilian red prawn was overcooked. What a shame. 
Tiramisu Tradizionale | Granita al Caffé | Cioccolato Amedei - when the dessert arrived, I was struggling to reconcile my concept of “traditional” tiramisu with what was laid before me. It looked more like a de-constructed version of Tiramisu with the coffee element on the side in the form of a granita instead of being infused with the ladyfingers which, to my understanding, should form the base of a traditional tiramisu made with eggs and mascarpone. Here, under the creamy mascarpone was a layer of biscuits in little cube form, and the overall dessert gave a more chocolatey flavour than the familiar “tiramisu” flavour. 
Petit Fours: they had a sweet trolley and I selected a few sweet items. My favourite would be the chocolate orange finger; the sweetness of the chocolate coating marry so well with the bright and tangy orange pieces. That’s delicious.
Service here was up to standard expected of a five star hotel. In terms of the quality of food, some dishes fared better than others.
