Food is amazing here at Beet.

Dinner is all on set menu. We ordered mock tails to start and ordered both vegetarian tasting as well as the regular tasting. You can add HKD180 to add an extra dish —- Lobster!!!

Highlight:
Bread and Butter
Chestnut pumpkin
Lobster with fermented carrot - it goes well!!!
Sea bass was really tender as well!

We thought the dishes were small in the beginning but we could barely walk out of the restaurant in the end :)

Excellent location
Great set up and environment
Detailed introduction on each dish
Most importantly! Yummy!!!!

Beet was recently recognised by HK Tattler as one of the best new restaurants in Hong Kong in 2018, prompting us to book a table and give them a try. This is a small place on Kau U Fong Street in Central. Opening hours are 6.30-10pm for dinner only (closed on Sundays).

You can make reservations directly through their website or through Chope. We reserved table a little over a week in advance. Seating is simple but tasteful, there is an opened but glassed off kitchen in full view of all the tables.

Menu is fixed and very simple with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Diners are served a multi-course meal including a couple of light bites (snacks), salad, two small mains and dessert. Restaurant tries to make as much us of local produce as is possible.

Kitchen execution is very good. Of the dishes tried on the evening, we found the tomato mint seaweed soup to be very tasty and the N.T. pork tenderloin to be excellent, about as good a pork dish as we've been served in quite some time. A side option of scallops was also delicious. Overall, we found ingredients for all dishes to be fresh and very well prepared. In short, we enjoyed everything served on the evening.

Service was very polite throughout our meal but in need of some refinement. For example, we were served cocktails and bottle of wine at the same time instead of letting us enjoy our pre-meal drinks before moving on to our bottle of wine. This was further complicated by the problems with the first bottle, which had to be sent back. Second bottle was just fine. A side-note that our cocktails were ok, nothing special nor bad.

Related, we found the head waiter rather chatty and eager to talk, even as courses arrived and sat on our table waiting for us to enjoy. He also circled by our table too frequently, sometimes every couple of minutes to see if we had finished so the next course could be brought to our table. This made parts of the meal feel quite rushed at times, when we really wanted to just enjoy the very good dishes being served.

In the end, we really liked the dishes being created at Peel but felt the service could use some fine-tuning, which would result in better overall meal experiences here. This is something we hope this restaurant can achieve as it has the potential to be a great venue for dining out here in Hong Kong.

The overall experience and food was below par, especially when in anticipation from these high reviews. We tried every single dish on the tasting menu and what was not, we ordered a la carte. The tomato and seaweed starter was far too salty and left a terrible taste in my mouth and so was the amuse-bouchée. The waiting staff did not ever ask how the food was and our plates were infrequently replaced. The main dishes: the halibut, the New Territories potato and the New Territories pork belly were far better. Nevertheless, they were nothing to write home about. The famous pork belly was also far too chewy and the meat quite tough. The halibut and the potato mains were good but in considering the price and the standards of the competing restaurants in the area, Beets is far less worth your time, money and -most importantly- stomach space.

This was truly disappointing as I was so excited to try this highly acclaimed novelty but was left severely underwhelmed mostly by the lack of enthusiasm on part of the waiting staff and also by the taste of the food.

If you are with your lover or family in the evening, you will be able to enjoy the dish quietly in a good atmosphere. Even though I went with a man... From pre-eating to main dishes and desserts, you can enjoy a variety of delicious dishes at reasonable prices. Especially, I recommend steak and fish dishes with wine. If you are going to Hong Kong, make sure to visit. enjoy!!

The best fine dining non star restaurant in Hong Kong! Really cool Ambiente combined with excellent cuisine! The food is absolutely tasty, really cool presentation and perfectly balanced dishes! The crew is extremely friendly and always great to have a conversation with! The wine menu offers nice options and the sommeleuse definitively knows what she is doing! Everything is till fair priced! A must visit for any foodie in Hong Kong!
