Le Rêve - Hong Kong

Le Rêve, means "The Dream" in French, is a modern French x Japanese fusion fine restaurant decorated with a series of dream collectors. My partner and I were excited to try this restaurant for our date night. We had no expectations of the food and dining room environment and were really surprised by the surprises on the menu. We went for this 6 Shades of Flavor Set. Both chose the Japanese Cod Fish. There is also a 4 Shades and 8 Shades of Flavor set for you to choose, the difference is in the number of Surprise Dishes. The Amuse Bouche has already set a high standard to start the meal. This basket of the house made bread was absolutely beautiful! The croissants were freshly warm and crisp with a heavy butter taste. Yum! The little sausage rolls were also amazing! Home made butter was really creamy, and for a second I didn't know what to eat, how the bread itself was brilliant. The first surprise dish was served after the appetizer. On the right was this Japanese shaving dish with roes on the top and chili paste on the sides. It was really fresh and properly cooked that it did not chew or fish at all! Very pleasant indeed even for a non-shelled fans like me. We were suggested to eat the shaving shell with this crème brûlée with sea urchin. We were a bit skeptical after the waiter told us the court, but decided to give it as we were told. A bite of savory razor, followed by a bite of sweet crème brûlée. Our taste buds were shocked with this contrasting sweetness/sexy, and it was definitely a novel and euphoric feeling! Second Shades of Flavor is a must have item in French Fine Ess Foie Gras. If you believe that this pan meerrote foie grass is common, then you are wrong. It is neither fat nor stuffy as other ordinary foie grass. The red wine sauce has filled up its already very enjoyable taste. The special thing about this dish is chestnut pure with Japanese mushrooms and the house made yogurt ice. If you feel that the foie grass is a bit too much for you, try to eat it with the chestnut red and yoghurt ice cream that facilitates the severity of this fat animal organ. Nevertheless, I decided to eat them separately to enjoy their individual flavors. No! Third shades of Flavor was this Lobster Tail with mixed pepper sauce under the bowl, mustard seed cream sauce and veggie foam in the bowl. This dish was a bit common compared to the other wowing dishes, but nevertheless very tasty. I especially like the crispy dried cale on the side. Here comes the second Surprise Dish, properly described on the menu as “A surprise prepared by Chef to accompany you in your dream”. This flaming piece of meat was a slowly boiled Iberico shoulder with rose wine. We were advised to enjoy it with the house made red wine / berries sauce with the pancakes as you eat a Beijing duck. The Iberico shoulder itself was very delicate, probably due to the cooking method. The lower fat layer made it very aromatic and delicious. I tried to eat them with Beijing duck style for once, and decided to eat them separately as I enjoy tasting the individual flavors more than they combine in this dish. The fifth shades of Flavor was this main Japanese Cod Fish in Saffron Clam cream, as well as tomatoes and red onion under the fish. The fish itself was standard, but the shell cream worked its magic to make this dish amazing. The cream had a strong taste of shells that added the fish. The tomatoes and red onion were like salsa, well worked with the cream to give some refreshing taste to the main. Last Shades of Flavor was a sesame ball in Japanese tea ice cream with black white sesame crackers, cherry chocolate, raspberries and popcorn. It was described as a “casual” dish as you can enjoy it as you want. The warm sesame ball tasted so good! Actually everything on the plate was very delicious and pleasant, especially the crisp popcorn.

French techniques Japanese ingredients wonderfully beautiful culinary experience. The ambience of the restaurant is like a bed-side story with the touch of feathers, dream collectors and lion tooth centerpiece decoration. The menu is also full of surprises. We tried the 6 tastes. And there are two surprise dishes designed by the cook. I love the amadai, crispy and yet as soft and smooth as slipping into the stomach. The meat dishes also great, the lamb shelf is excellent. Do not forget the foie grass, it comes with chestnut paste and yogurt ice cream, the unimaginable flavor combination!

Came here for lunch at weekends, thought they could offer lunch, but was said to them during weekend lunch, they only offer dinner menu. Would have been better if they could advise us if we made the reservation. We had the 4 course meal, food quality was very good and service was also great. However, the proportion was rather small.

Had quite a few creative fusion or tasting menu before but this one not creative enough for my tasting. Main dish was quite plain in comparison and the pork taste average. seating so tight i was bumped by other guest from behind. staff is polite enough. i would say the money not well spent for the evening.

Wine pair dinner ard 1700 per head, they got the details in presentation but the taste is average. Fail to bring out the freshness in several seafood dishes, they serve meats pretty good tho. Unlikely to revisit.
