Gaddi's - Food

Food

Gaddi's was considered the best European restaurant in Hong Kong for a long time, but that reputation has since been challenged by a number of new restaurants that opened in recent years. The food is classically French but with inventive European influences.Online Frommer's review

The food is classic French haute cuisine and utilizes the highest-quality products imported from various countries. Examples of past dishes include:

  • Raw-marinated foie gras with toasted brioche
  • Twice-cooked pork belly with mustard risotto
  • Bitter herb salad and balsamico sauce
  • Specially selected American Black Angus Sirloin baked in a rosemary and salt crust with pea puree
  • Roquefort fritters and pan-fried rye bread with melted Camembert and oscietra caviar

There is a ten course tasting menu which lets the diners taste a sample of many of Gaddi's famous dishes.

The wine cellar is among the best and largest in Hong Kong, with a collection of rare vintages.

In a 2006 Independent feature on romantic dining, author Alexandra Antonioni wrote:

"They don't make restaurants like this any more and everyone should dine at Gaddi's at least once in their lifetime. Nothing can touch it for glamour and sheer indulgence."

Famous quotes containing the word food:

    “Civilization means food and literature all round. Beefsteaks and fiction magazines for all. First-class proteins for the body, fourth-class love-stories for the spirit.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a credit system in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Lead bullets flattened by human teeth have been found on the camp site. Soldiers who had been caught stealing food from nearby farms customarily chewed on a bullet as the lash was laid on their bare backs.”
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
