Beet - Hong Kong

Excellent food, with lovely wine pairing to go with it. Superb staff with attention to detail. Clearly the chef thinks long and hard about his dishes as these are exceptionally well balanced. The use of local produce is something of an example. Recommended.

Beet was recently recognised by HK Tattler as one of the best new restaurants in Hong Kong in 2018, prompting us to book a table and give them a try. This is a small place on Kau U Fong Street in Central. Opening hours are 6.30-10pm for dinner only (closed on Sundays). You can make reservations directly through their website or through Chope. We reserved table a little over a week in advance. Seating is simple but tasteful, there is an opened but glassed off kitchen in full view of all the tables. Menu is fixed and very simple with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Diners are served a multi-course meal including a couple of light bites (snacks), salad, two small mains and dessert. Restaurant tries to make as much us of local produce as is possible. Kitchen execution is very good. Of the dishes tried on the evening, we found the tomato mint seaweed soup to be very tasty and the N.T. pork tenderloin to be excellent, about as good a pork dish as we've been served in quite some time. A side option of scallops was also delicious. Overall, we found ingredients for all dishes to be fresh and very well prepared. In short, we enjoyed everything served on the evening. Service was very polite throughout our meal but in need of some refinement. For example, we were served cocktails and bottle of wine at the same time instead of letting us enjoy our pre-meal drinks before moving on to our bottle of wine. This was further complicated by the problems with the first bottle, which had to be sent back. Second bottle was just fine. A side-note that our cocktails were ok, nothing special nor bad. Related, we found the head waiter rather chatty and eager to talk, even as courses arrived and sat on our table waiting for us to enjoy. He also circled by our table too frequently, sometimes every couple of minutes to see if we had finished so the next course could be brought to our table. This made parts of the meal feel quite rushed at times, when we really wanted to just enjoy the very good dishes being served. In the end, we really liked the dishes being created at Peel but felt the service could use some fine-tuning, which would result in better overall meal experiences here. This is something we hope this restaurant can achieve as it has the potential to be a great venue for dining out here in Hong Kong.

Eating is amazing here in beet. In the evening everything is in the menu. we ordered mosquitoes to start and order vegetarian tasting as well as regular tasting. they can add HKD180 to add an additional dish — lobster! highlight: brot and butter chestnuts pumpkin lobster with fermented carrot is good! sea bass was also very tender! we thought the dishes were small at the beginning, but we could hardly go out of the restaurant at the end: excellent location large decorated and environment detailed introduction to each court main! yummy!

When they are together with their lover or family in the evening, they can enjoy the court in a good atmosphere. although I went with a man. from the appetizer to the main dishes and desserts, they can enjoy a lot of delicious directed to cheap trips. especially I recommend steak and fish dishes with wein. if they go to hong kong, they should definitely visit!

We only stayed a couple nights in Hong Kong and have had some pretty good food but our meal at Beet was by far the best meal that we have had. My favorites were 1) the hamachi with kefir cream, caviar, and peaches, and 2) the maitake mushrooms with walnut emulsion, hollandaise, and autumn truffle. Overall, the meal was full of flavour and I definitely recommend eating here.
