Bar review: Madam Sixty Ate
Martyn Cornell
an untypically light and airy first-floor bar and restaurant with floor-to-ceiling glass walls on two sides; unvarnished oak floors; walls in black, white and palest green; a terrace protected by giant umbrellas and a fashionably open kitchen. The decorations are discreet, modern and, occasionally, quietly humorous (a large painting of three baby rabbits in a giant peapod). The place is pitched at the ladies-who-lunch set and their banker friends, with prices to match. If you don't want to dine in the well-regarded restaurant, the bar area is an excellent venue for a quiet tête-à-tête, and the bar snacks, while delicious, won't have you rushing to the gym to work off excess pounds.
excellent for an afternoon with an old friend. The bar snacks - "Madam's grazing foods," - come beautifully presented on a plank of wood the size and shape of an A5 notebook. They cost HK$85 a time and include cherries stuffed with foie gras and octopus carpaccio.
