Bistro du Vin

Since opening in 2011, Bistrot du Vin has been a steadfast presence for casual French cooking in Hong Kong. Now, following its relocation to a more spacious home in Sai Ying Pun—the former site of Bâtard inside The Fine Wine Experience—the restaurant turns the page to a new chapter. Much like its predecessor, the restaurant offers a serious wine experience. Guests can browse over 1,200 labels on-site at the in-house cellar, with an additional 6,000 available through an online retail system.

On the food front, comforting classics and refined traditional recipes remain the driving force. French chef Guillaume Losguardi takes the helm, bringing his command of rustic, home-style cooking, along with refined techniques and composed plating, to the table. A menu standout is the seasonal house-made pâté en croûte, in which the spring edition is crafted with goose liver, pork and truffle, finished with a pour of port and beef bouillon. Other highlights include baked marble goby in puff pastry, slow-braised short rib parmentier (topped with mashed potatoes), and a classic tarte tatin (apple tart).
