Love it! Best place in HKG for real wine. Arthur,romain and Mael were the best
Ein absoluter Juwel in Hong Kong! Tolle und besondere Weine zu fairen Preisen, exzellente Bedienungen besonders Mael war sehr kompetent und höflich aber auch die anderen mitarbeitenden sind super nett. Wir waren in zwei Tagen zweimal dort und würden am liebsten jeden Abend kommen
Quaint and lovely French wine bar. Hugely stocked with an outstanding carefully selected wine cellar! I love their sister bar Le Terroirs at 1 Lyndhurst Terrace too so it was delightful to experience this fab spot hidden in Wanchai! Arthur has the best music playlist too!
best wine bar in town!!! had the best recommendations thanks to Maël and Arthur, truly recommend :)
