Plaisance is part of the trio of restaurants that were newly awarded a star in 2025. Had a sneaky suspicion they were in the running and didn't want to risk facing a price hike (you never know these days), so I made a booking in advance. Chef of Zest by Konishi (recently closed) is at the helm.
Food
+canapés. All were tasty and not your run of the mill wagyu/ tuna tartare etc.
+shima aji tartare, white asparagus, onion
+razor clams, chawanmushi, dashi, borage flower
+amadai, parsley emulsion, clams
+chicken, stuffed morrels
~chocolate rose
~shikuwasa, mascarpone
All in all, strong showing. Well executed tasty lunch. One of the stronger 1 stars I've had in HK (incomplete). Will return for their full tasting once the menu changes up a bit.
4/5

Is the amadai burnt?
Floral presentation is beautiful. I wouldn’t know if I was to smell it or to eat it. 🙂 Probably both.
