Le Marron A corner full of chestnuts

[12/02/09] 

There are plenty of romantic places where couples can engage in sensual (maybe even lascivious) activities in Hong Kong. Go up the Peak and make out under the stars; a couple’s spa at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel; sex on the beach (and we don’t mean the cocktail drink)…the list goes on.


This Valentine’s Day, bring your unsuspecting partner to Le Marron for an exquisite 19th-century Continental dining experience. The minute the elevator doors open, you’ll feel like you’ve been miraculously transported to a restaurant in France, with ornate chandeliers overhead and European antiques that deck the walls. The flowing lace curtains and old wooden panel doors conveniently divide this homey space into smaller rooms, thus creating an atmosphere of romance, much like that of a boudoir. At this private kitchen, you can expect hearty home-cooked fare with such dishes as Lamb Wellington stuffed in duck confit and pan fried foie gras with citrus caramel sauce. Simply aphrodisiacal!

At the end of your meal, be sure to ask her the fateful question, “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi”?
