Restaurant review: Le Bistro Winebeast, Wan Chai – large portions of tasty French fare

Price: about HK$475 without drinks. There’s no service charge.

Cuisine: French

Ambience: it was very quiet when we ate there on a drizzly weeknight, and the staff tried to compensate by turning up the music, which made it difficult to talk. They turned down the music after we asked.

Pros: some of the dishes are very good.

Cons: those with huge appetites will appreciate the enormous portions but they were far too large for us. My guest loved her poached cod in olive oil (HK$228) but I thought the taste of red pepper overwhelmed the fish.
