The restaurant offers five or six set lunch options each day, and according to staff, the menu is updated every week. Most of the vegetables are sourced from farms in the New Territories.

Located at the revamped heritage complex Blue House, named after the colour of the main building, the shop is hidden from the bustling main street but still easily accessible from the Wan Chai MTR station.

The shop has an indie vibe, and according to its brochure, hosts “mindfulness workshops”, cooking classes and seminars from time to time.

The outdoor seating area is nice and spacious with several wooden tables and big umbrellas, but we opted to sit inside as the summer heat was getting out of hand.
