Seasons by Olivier Elzer

Seasons tooke over this place from Café Habitu, this is a great place to hang out with fds, i used to came alot. Really like the outside drink area, very comfy. First time came to Seasons, but only for afternoon tea. Love their cakes, especially the cheese cake. Next time will try to come here by dinner time.

We went here for our last night in Hong Kong, and took our colleague who had invited us here. We had a mixed reaction. On the one hand, it’s a beautiful restaurant, much prettier than the pictures led me to believe. We saw the outdoor courtyard on our way out, and that is very charming. The wine list is extensive, including wines by the glass, but our guest brought a special bottle of French wine, for which we paid a HK$ 350 corkage fee. I knew about the fee in advance, but it is absurdly high. (Café Deco at The Peak charges only $ 150.) The basket of breads is fantastic and warm.
One of us had the 4 course dinner for HK$ 628. He chose the scallop carpaccio, which was beautifully presented, but so subtle as to almost tasteless; the pumpkin veloute (creamy soup) with ginger emulsion (one of the best soups he’s ever had); pasta with deep-​fried squid (very good); and chocolate ganache for dessert (okay, nothing special). It’s four courses, but the portions are small.
Our guest and I had the same choices, which other reviewers raved about: a small (deg) portion of the grilled tuna belly with avocado and a larger (carte) portion of the langoustine risotto with venere rice. The tuna was excellent and the sauce delicious. I can’t really see why anyone raves about the risotto. Yes, the langoustine was good, but not spectacular, and the risotto was well prepared but the seasoning was only good, not out of this world. I don’t eat a lot so with the bread, I was perfectly satisfied, but if you have a big appetite, you’ll need carte portions or more courses.
The service was attentive and friendly. The main detraction is that the prices are sky-​high. (The Unilocal description gives Seasons $$; that’s crazy. It should be $$$$.) A bottle of water is $ 65, a cup of decaf is $ 48. Dinner for 3 with the obligatory 10% service charge, was HK$ 3,065.00. For that amount of money, I expect divine food. We thought the food at Town was better, and not as expensive, although the atmosphere at Seasons is more lavish.
So if you have a ton of money and don’t care about value for money, and value the surroundings and wine list over the food — which is good to very good, but not out of this world — you’ll enjoy Seasons. If I were in Hong Kong again, and in Causeway Bay, I might come for a drink on the deck, but I don’t think I’d come back to the restaurant.

Seasons is one of my favourite spots to hang out with friends. It located on 3^rd floor in Lee garden with an outdoor terrrance drinking area, we loving sitting under the big cabana after work, drinking with a glass of charanony, relax and comfort. With bronze and a bit of sunlight, holding a big bean bag, you will totally forget you are in the busiest area in hongkong.
If drinking is not your style, try causal café corner just right the front, newly established this year, serve you good coffee and pastries.
Or, if you are looking for good food, try the Michelin one star restaurant! Good vibes and best suit for romantic date. I would also recommend to sit in the bar tables, enjoy watching how well the crew master your dishes!
So, dont think there is any excuses you can say no to seasons! See you there!

Initially tried this out under the recommendation of my foodie Aunt and loved it. Came here on several occasions and each time didn’t disappoint.
Food: ⁵⁄₅
The food here really is one of the best in Hong Kong, at least in my opinion that is. Their plating skills are absolutely beautiful, and the few times I’ve been here, the food and flavour has been pretty consistent. Their desserts are definitely worth a try. I’ve also heard their afternoon tea is pretty tasty, so definitely will be coming back for that. I believe they also recently earned a Michelin Star if i’m not wrong.
Service: 4.5÷5
The service here is pretty good. The waiters are polite and prompt to fulfill any requests that we had. It’s a little slower during peak hours, but it’s perfectly understandable, and the waiters still manage to balance out their different tables pretty clearly.
Make sure you make a reservation before you eat, but i’ve been on the bar table during lunch before, and it was surprisingly comfortable, plus you get a nice view of their open kitchen which was nice!

Had ordered frog leg that tastes like rubber chicken served at the Army boot camp. My date ordered some filet with pieces of lemon wedge sits around it. That’s it, the plate setting was as flat as I described here. Very booooring…
If not because of its supreme services and nice commends from the GM, plus its nice décor and environment, it would be a zero star.
I thought it has one Michelin Star, no?

We came here for lunch on the later side, around 2pm, so we knew the service would not be great, however it was downright terrible. That’s not what one expects when dining in Hong Kong, especially at this type of establishment. Despite that, the food was very good. I had the chicken avocado salad, the duck pastilla and the rice pudding with chocolate sauce. I was very happy with salad and totally ecstatic with the duck pastilla. The flavor and texture were as perfect as you could expect. The rice pudding was just ok, but nothing special. My lunch partner ordered the white asparagus velote, the brandade, and the carmelized banana compote.
Unfortunately they just increased the lunch prices from $ 288 to $ 318 for the 3 course meal. Though the price is not unreasonable for the quality, we are hoping that this does not become a trend. We also suspect that the service has been steadily declining because the chef has been away for a while.

I came here to Seasons last month after hearing many great things about it and decided to choose this place to celebrate my partner’s birthday.
We came on a Sunday evening that was perfect as it wasn’t full house and we had a quiet time enjoying a decent meal. The service was great. There weren’t waiters standing around the table which can be quite annoying if you just want a quiet meal. It’s definitely a great place for a date night.
We ordered the 6-​course tasting menu. It started off with scallop carpaccio. Then we were served some very warm beetroot soup. I normally don’t like fresh beetroot juice as it can taste quite muddy but the soup was perfectly done with a heavy savory taste to it. The next dishes were some prawns, foie gras and pigeon. The dessert was decorated with «Happy Birthday» upon request. Everything was just perfectly done with beautiful plating. I guess that’s what you can ask for at a decent French restaurant! They also have quite a long wine list. We ordered a Pinot Noir from Central Otago which was good for the price.
Overall, it’s a very pleasant experience and if you’re looking for a place to splurge for a decent dinner on a special occasion, I highly recommend Seasons!

Birthday dinner spent here. Expensive but beautiful plates, delicious food and genial service. Really enjoyed the starters — Gill oysters with crabmeat and cucumber jelly, and the seared tuna. The steak was a bit of a miss as I couldn’t really taste the beef because it was thin and covered with red onion glaze, or the Rosemary that it was smoked in a box with. The masala risotto is incredible. INCREDIBLE. Amazing flavour and texture. Could die happy with a bowl of that.

Came here for a drink. It’s a rooftop. They have rooftop and indoor seating. I enjoy rooftop in this crowded HK.
Blueberry cocktail tea — it’s red color. They have many types of tea flavors.
Cashew and almond bowl — it’s free and comes with the tea and wine.
Cheese plate with toasts — it’s walnut bread with some jam on the side.
I believe this is a Michellin star restaurant. It’s quite relaxing. I wish I could try their desserts, which seem famous.

Excellent 3 – 4 lunch courses, great value and highly recommend anyone who loves French food!
