IT SOUNDS like a bespoke tailor and looks more like a bar than somewhere to get a quick lunch. But the newly-opened George & Co is already a regular pop-in spot for many in Causeway Bay.
George & Co is fancy inside, the bar is marble, the ceiling recessed, the blinds are slatted and wooden, the floor is hardwood and the lighting natural.
Admittedly, bar comes before restaurant, but both are done well. And the food is not designed - in bar tradition - simply to make you order another drink.
If you are there for lunch, the menu is small, which means you choose between seven international dishes as well as soups and desserts.
These all-day items are supplemented at lunchtime by blackboard specials, usually a curry with rice or roti and a glass of beer, or a salad along the lines of lightly dressed barbecued duck with endive or the excellent cold ratatouille served on interesting green leaves.
