SERGE ET LE PHOQUE

-

Four years after its opening,

Serge et le Phoque continues to surprise and delight in the most delicious ways possible. Its exciting, seasonal menu remains utterly unique in the city—a modern, stylish blend of premium produce and French-meets-Asian flavours and techniques that lingers in the memory long after the last bite of your meal. The restaurant’s location in the heart of Wan

Chai’s wet market is a telling g representa­tion of how Serge rge shakes up the idea of fine e dining; with its teal banquette tte seats, bleached wood furniture and hanging globe lights, it exudes a casual-cool ambience, with friendly and knowledgea­ble staff that further contribute to its laidback welcoming vibes. The food too wears its excellence lightly; the kitchen makes combining eclectic elements like scallops, cauliflowe­r, anchovy, poutargue and yuzu kosho seem easy, with expertly judged hits of flavour. The wine list focuses heavily on French labels, with more unusual natural and biodynamic varieties offered alongside the classics. Serge et le Phoque remains a true one-off in Hong Kong—delivering confident, sophistica­ted cooking with a creative, playful heart—and we cannot wait to discover what new wonders lie ahead on our next visit.
