Le Cepage finally opened after months of delays.....
opened by Les Amis group of Singapore it was indeed an achievement to have a presence out of the island
located at Wing Fung Street in Wanchai...
it gave us memory of Les Amis at Scotts Road with its similar terrain
of uphill narrow street...Le Cepage is also on the left hand side of the riad
Upon arriving at the entrance...its exterior was a twin copy of Les Amis Singapore
it gave us a very very "homely" feeling..
"Are we in Hong Kong :P" asked Monkey cheekily to JS
so both Monkey & JS were there to celebrate the new year eve
an important transition from 2009 to 2010

OKAY I know I'm tad and super late on my posts but according to my lil Anya Hindmarch notebook...this post was supposed to be blogged by Mr. JS -_-"

we had a personal tour around the restaurant which consisted of 2 floors of dining and 1 roof top terrace
with 2 separate wine cellar dedicated specifically to whites and reds
think we toured for bout 40 minutes :P
Randy See the Sommelier cum Operations Director was not in town when we visited Le Cepage
Le Cepage already earned its first Michelin Star just after 8-9 months opening its door
BRAVO!!!!!
am sure they are heading for the 2nd one very very soon
with its chic ambience, superb wine list - the best by far in HK
*thanks to its operations in Spore...they bring in wines fr Spore...errr a bit weird rite?*
and a creative menu by Chef Thomas...think they deserve the 2nd star :)

we found that Le Cepage is too much a copy of its sister/mother restaurant
Les Amis in Singapore
well it's standardisation and globalisation but somehow we were expecting more fr Le Cepage
knowing the dining scene in Hong Kong is a step ahead fr Singapore
*well at least both are better than my dearie Malaysia :(*
however their wine cellars received standing ovation fr us
*clap clap clap*
u do need a very deep pocket to dine here as compared to Les Amis
or maybe I should just stop comparing :P
