My friend invited me to L’ envol during a recent trip to Hong Kong. I must admit the food was so impressive that it really blew me away. The restaurant was located at the St Regis hotel on its third floor with a beautiful view. The decor of the restaurant was modern and chic with an open kitchen concept. The 2 michelin-starred restaurant is indeed worth visiting. The bread and crqckers were quickly offered the minute we sat down. For appetizers, we opted for the Gamberoni prawns with “violin Courgette” & caviar. The sliced cucumbers placed on top of prawn top with the caviar looked pretty and refreshing indeed. The prawn was served raw, the taste combination burst into my tongue created an unique and distinct flavor which was pleasantly delicious. The second appetizer was the frogs legs sautéed with amontillado sauce, crispy tuile & cromesquils. To be honest, although this dish is good too especially the sauce but the prawn definitely had stolen the limelight. We moved on to the main course, we had the Crispy Amadai fish, curly kale in oyster champagne sauce first. I was told that Amadai was a local fish but the chef has managed to bring out the best of the fish. While we savored the firm fresh of the fish, the crispy fish scales did bring the dish to the next level which is pretty appealing to the palate. The second main course was roast pork pluma with brandies plum & sucrine puree. I must say this is probably the best lean pork I had ever tasted. It was so tender and juicy. I think I can have more than one helping for this!!! For the desserts, we opted for Pistachio Soufflé. The chef again delievered one of the best Soufflés. Light yet flavorful. We were also offered chocolates and light desserts after 4 course meal. The waiter patiently explained every dish to us as well. This is probably one of the best meal I had so far this year. I definitely would recommend this restaurant for whoever would like to celebrate for a special occasion. Superb food, top notch service and great atmosphere! Can’t...
Read moreA truly exquisite afternoon at L'Envol, the two-Michelin-starred French fine dining restaurant at The St. Regis Hong Kong in Wan Chai. The elegant ambiance, impeccable service, and breathtaking harbour views created a truly luxurious and unforgettable experience. L'Envol sets the standard for refined dining, making it a perfect destination for special occasions or simply indulging in the art of haute cuisine.
The restaurant's elegant ambiance and attentive service also garner high marks, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier dining destination.
Petit Fours: This delightful assortment of miniature desserts was a perfect ending to our meal. The selection included a rich chocolate cake, a delicate macaron, a crispy almond biscuit, and two decadent chocolate confections. Each bite-sized treat was a burst of flavour and texture, a testament to the pastry chef's skill and artistry. The presentation, on a beautifully patterned plate, further enhanced the experience.
L'Envol is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey. From the amuse-bouche to the petit fours, every detail is carefully considered to create a truly exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend!

Read moreThis is my second time visiting L'Envol Restaurant, and it never fails to impress me. The ambiance is beautiful, and the service is exceptional. I want to especially commend Assistant Manager Derek and Victoria for their heartfelt and attentive service, which embodies the best attitude of hospitality professionals. I also want to praise the entire kitchen team, who are always smiling, cooperative, and welcoming to customers. They truly add credit to the entire restaurant. The starters to desserts, managed by the chef's team, never disappoints. This time, we celebrated our daughter's graduation, and they surprised us with a handwritten note and a photo. Thank you for your attentive service, and I will definitely come back to the restaurant. I want to emphasize that the lunch is great value for money, and the food ingredients are fresh. I believe the management and staff have put in a lot of effort.
The only thing I would like to suggest is to review the hostess uniform, as it seems a bit ill-fitting. Since they are the first to greet customers, it is important to leave a good impression. It might just be my professional habit, as I am a professional image and etiquette consultant trainer:)
Overall was excellent! Great Management and team!...
