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.…查看更多

以前來Cafe Causette 吃午飯已經N次了，我對餐廳的印象就是交通方便，但食物一般。今天早上天文台早已經掛了黑雨，但我一個好朋友就堅持一大早上班。經過半天勤勞，她約我來文華酒店吃午飯。她先訂Chinnery可惜午餐滿座，再訂Cafe Causette就慶幸成功有檯。Cafe Causette已經裝修過一段時間，新裝修有點像港式茶餐廳，對我們本地人來說確實有親切感。我們今天除了點了亞洲食品外也點了歐洲食品，包括味增湯、海南雞飯、牛排、豬排和牛油果沙律。奇怪的事情發生了，食品上來後我就發現與以前的賣相大大不同，比以前更專業和更吸引人。當把東西放到口裏後，發現更是美味非凡。如果以前Cafe Causette是65分，今天應該有85分以上。…查看更多

一直都好想試中環文華東方酒店佢哋嘅下午茶，之前見到有優惠終於扚起心肝去試吓啦！環境真係好正！大堂高雅，落地玻璃窗望住中環街景，氣氛好relax，坐喺啲皮梳化上，感覺貴氣十足。服務更加係五星級，侍應好有禮，會主動幫你拎茶壺同介紹每款點心，仲會問你有冇特別需要，質素真係無得彈！不過食物真係失望到爆，尤其是甜點，全部好似海綿蛋糕咁，乾乾地又無味，賣相都唔精緻，名大於實！唯一救場係鬆餅，熱辣辣又鬆軟，配果醬同忌廉好正。鹹點就都正常，但冇乜驚喜。整體來講，$7xx兩人嘅下午茶，甜點瀨晒，唔值呢個價，雖然服務同環境頂級，但真係唔會再嚟！…查看更多

今年想搞下新意思，唔想成日去酒樓食飯，所以同母親大人去酒店high tea.我地有6個人，酒店都好好，安排到張大枱俾我地。環境：文華東方老牌酒店，環境當然舒適，當日人較少，所以每張枱客人都隔得開，傾計都唔驚嘈到人🌚食物：飲品有多款選擇，我地揀左果茶類、烏龍茶、咖啡，全部都唔錯；scone配最出名既玫瑰花果醬，當然一流；鹹點甜點都大大件，但味道主打穩陣，沒太大驚喜。所以建議午餐真係唔好食太多！☕️服務：侍應細心，服務都好好，一貫高水準💯價錢：兩人tea set （$848）…查看更多

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 意大利雜菜湯 ($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 意式辣肉腸煙肉番椒薄餅 ($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 海南雞飯 ($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 文華芝士餅伴藍莓果醬配雲呢拿雪糕 ($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 時令鮮果及雜莓 ($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.…查看更多
