An impressive entrance shared with The French Window on the third floor of IFC greets diners. The main dining room offers views of Victoria Harbour and Wanchai and is tastefully sleek and modern with impressive chandeliers and light gold and beige tones. Elegant without being pretentious, Cuisine Cuisine is a great option for a power lunch or a refined but unfussy dinner.

Start with the chilled cucumber and jellyfish with chili oil for a fresh, clean dish to whet your appetite. During lunch, a dim sum menu is also available and includes unique offerings such as roasted chicken roll stuffed with pistachio crust and salty egg yolk, a delicious and filling dish with delightfully crispy skin. Barbecued pork buns with thyme add subtle fragrance to a classic dim sum favorite. The sautéed crystal king prawn, a house signature dish, is a work of art and precision, with carefully cut prawn simply sautéed to let the flavour of the fresh prawn shine. Braised abalone on linzi mushroom with sautéed vegetable, another signature dish, is luxurious and elegant, offering a playful contrast of similar textures between the abalone and mushroom. Roasted spare rib coated with osmanthus sauce is overly salty, but the meat is tender and fatty. Sautéed scallops with crab coral cooked with egg whites and beautifully cut baby bak choi is decadent without being heavy. For a panoply of vibrant vegetables, try the sautéed celery with lily bulbs and lotus root, which also includes black fungus, kale, water chestnuts and red bell peppers.

The wine list at Cuisine Cuisine favours French wines but also includes many offerings from other regions. With no bottle offerings priced under HK$450, the wine offering is on the pricey side.

Service at Cuisine Cuisine is conscientious and courteous, with teacups being refilled and dishes being changed discretely and politely.

A meal for two will average around HK$1,200, excluding wine; however, delicacies such as abalone can increase the bill significantly. An executive set lunch is available for HK$298 per person, which offers excellent value.
