The Sun makes a strong impression. It’s the first Hong Kong branch of the award-winning San Francisco restaurant, and its location, perched on the Royal Garden’s third-floor mezzanine that overlooks lush greenery and water fountains, is enough to draw everyone in. Le Soleil offers Vietnamese cuisine with a touch of Asian Fusion, further amplified by the surrounding landscape which resembles a blend of Vietnamese-European aesthetics.
To accompany the magnificent scenery, we recommend a dish just as worthy of an image, the baked rice with crab and garlic in the manner of Ho Chi Minh. The fresh, meaty crab is fried and seasoned with garlic and pairs perfectly with savory rice, melting deliciously in your mouth with every bite. We also recommend the stir-fried Vietnamese live crab with curry sauce, the classic beef pho noodle soup and steamed rice flour sachets with ground pork and dried shrimp.
