There is a number of new
eateries in the Hysan Place worth trying. The Le Salon is composed of two
parts, the Le Salon Restaurant with decent seats and VIP room serving decent French
cuisine, and this Le Salon Croissanterie specialized in croissants with various
fillings for take away. Having said that, you can still order your croissant plus
a coffee and enjoy it on the outdoor chairs and tables in front of the shop.
a) Chestnut Croissant ($23) – 7.5/10
5 flavours of filling
were available on the day – chocolate, tiramisu, chestnut, caramel and mango.
Without much thought, I ordered the chestnut filling. Unlike the ever long
queue in Urban Bakery at the basement of the same building, the croissants
selling here are readily made for an unknown period. The one I tried was kept
warm in the heater. Although being specialized in making croissants, the filo
dough was not puffy enough. Butter was way too much than needed. Glad that the
chestnut filling was not too sweet and I could still manage to finish the whole
croissant. Anyway, the price is very reasonable.
b) Cafe Americano ($24) – 8/10
To my surprise, the
coffee both looked and smelled good.
