The Best French Restaurants In Hong Kong

Wing Tung Isabella Yu

French food in Hong Kong has a good reputation. While foie gras and frog legs are classics of French cuisine, guests can also enjoy dishes ranging from escargot to seafood platters and wagyu beef cheek. Read our gourmet guide to Hong Kong’s best French restaurants.

Whether its the signature dish ‘Forbes Homard’, featuring Boston lobster and foie gras with shrimp sauce, or a luxurious bottle of Bordeaux wine, you’ll find the delicacies at Collection de Vignobles utterly enchanting. Simple black-and-white-painted walls and wooden tables add a slice of classic elegance, while the kitsch-inspired abstract painting juxtaposes the archaic-style drinks cabinet filled with premium cocktails. French classics, including quiche Lorraine and escargots with hollandaise sauce, will create a nostalgia for France. Boasting a variety of unusual wines and notable favorites from traditional vineyards in France, Collection de Vignobles is also home to wine tasting events.

2. La Maison

Oak-coloured tables and bare brick walls create a romantic and cozy atmosphere at La Maison. Serving an authentic taste of France in a homely environment, guests should not miss savoring the sumptuous escargot with garlic butter and potato puree, or the deluxe Alaska crab leg. Indulge in live jazz music every Thursday while enjoying delectable dishes.

With a glass elevator that transports you to the restaurant, La Saison by Jacques Barnachon is furnished in an elegant and refined manner with floor-to-ceiling windows and a Michelin star chef behind the bar: Jacques Barnachon. Upon settling in the cozy chair, guests will be impressed by the wide selection of seafood, including sea bream, black cod fillet, scallops, and the not-so-common john dory. Offering a seamless dining experience and delicacies served in exquisite yet delicate plates, plus deluxe world-class wines, you’ll find La Saison a luxurious homage to Paris.

5. Bistronomique

Restaurant, French

Tucked away on Davis Street in Kennedy Town is Bistronomique, with excellent service, delectable food, and breathtaking views of the waterfront. Decorated in cream-like tones with elegant table settings and high ceilings, Bistronomique has a cozy and relaxing atmosphere with empty wine bottles hanging over the wall. The meaty paté maison and creamy salt cod brandade are good starters, while the lobster penne and beef entrecôte are equally excellent. Classic dishes, like pan-fried foie gras and duck confit, are also hard to beat.
