The Epicurean Group has closed Le Parisien, its French restaurant in the IFC Mall and replaced it with ... another French restaurant. The group wanted to move away from fine dining to something more casual so substituted the more formal restaurant with Le Petit Paris.

The 3,000 sq ft space (bottom right) seats 130, including six at the seafood bar.

Chef Laurent Rospars' menu includes French classics such as pork rillettes from Le Mans (HK$78), onion soup with gruyere (HK$68), andouillettes (tripe sausage) with mustard and mashed potatoes (HK$218) and poached sliced turbot with hollandaise (HK$288). For diners who like to share, there's a cold seafood platter (top right; crab, prawns, mussels, oysters, clams and sea snails, HK$238 per person for a minimum of two) and choucroute garni (sausages, ham hocks, head cheese, smoked pork belly and sauerkraut, HK$528 for two) .
