Hearty, thrifty and unapologetically greasy hawker fare may take precedence within Hong Kong's much-celebrated food culture, but this chic little cafe demonstrates that it is equally adept at transforming even a simple luncheon into a premiere fashion-forward bonanza. The bistro-style outfit specialises in authentic French (of course) cuisine, including personal favourites of Mademoiselle B., such as baked escargot and dark foie gras. A crowd favourite is the classic French onion soup, a dark savory broth broiled from aromatic onions and served with a round of crisp, oven-fresh bread.
