Sabatini

Lately I had lunch at the Italian restaurant Sabatini in the Royal Garden Hotel on Tsim Sha Tsui. Being early for lunch just a few tables were occupied. But not for long. Within half an hour lots of guests showed up and seated almost all places available. The interior together with the music on the background made it a typical Italian place. Paintings on the sand colored walls, small colored glass windows and on every table a small vase with a some flowers. I ordered the home-made tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce and I didn’t regret the choice. What was it delicious, a tasteful meat sauce from juicy tomatoes and minced beef. The two-course set lunch I had, included a pasta, desert and a coffee or tea and cost HK$ 168. For HK$42 more you could also have chosen their appetizer buffet. The desserts (5 type of cakes and crème brulee) were shown on a trolley which was moved over to my table. All of them looked very attractive but I chose the only true Italian dessert Tiramisu. It was a bit creamy and there was no cake inside, but I couldn’t say that it was a real bad choice. If I need to recommend a restaurant in TST for good Italian food, excellent service and value for your money I would say ‘go to Sabatini’. Sabatini, 69 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Hong Kong.
