La Marmite offers a prix-fixe for lunch with no a la carte options. Not a big deal for me but maybe for others. The restaurant's decor is casual and unpretentious, with several vintage French posters on the walls. I like it. Very simple and elegant. I especially love the open front facing the street. Very Parisian.

I was actually weary at first whether La Marmite would be serving authentic French food but we got to know the manager and found out she was French. Also read online that the head of the restaurant is French (Chef Renaud Marin) with an all French team including Michelin-star Chef Philippe Orrico, Pastry Chef Alexis Watrin, and Maitre’d David Noblet.

Elliot and I were both very happy with our lunch. La Marmite offers authentic French cuisine with affordable prices..something that is rare in Hong Kong.
