Fresca

I really enjoyed my meal here. Great selection of salads. The vegan chocolate muffin was amazing. The staff were so welcoming too.

My all time favourite players e to go for lunch or dinner when in Central. The tofu with bean paste is a must. Love the options and they are so friendly. It dies get busy over lunch which is a good sign that people are eating more vegetables and non meat products. You can even try the dishes before you decide to buy. They also encourage you to bring your own lunch box. What a great way to save the environment

On my last visit a couple of weeks or so ago the small soup and salad was now 100 hkd.


Updated from previous review on Friday November 13, 2015

3 of us lunched here today and all liked it very much. Good food, nice setting & vibe, good service. 85 hkd for a soup & salad in this part of town seemed pretty reasonable.

Do I give it 4 or 5? Tough question. For the mo 4 since it isn't all vegan. I may amend that in future.

My favorite lunch place in hk

Can't find soup like this in hk

The soup that I ordered was the potato one and it was really really nice. It was definitely worth the price paid for. Would definitely go back for seconds

upon entering fresca, i was greeted by an extremely friendly staff member behind the counter (where vegan-friendly and gluten-free options are labelled), who patiently described and offered me samples of the different salads available that day. i felt like a kid at an ice cream bar!

greedy me was deciding between the regular (hkd58, two choices) or large (hkd78, three choices), but was advised that their salads were lined with rice and leafy veg, and that the regular would be more than sufficient. i went with that, and added a broccoli soup (i lost the receipt and can't remember if i'd had the small/large and the price). what i appreciated was that when i chose one salad, the staff member was able to recommend another to balance out its flavours.

the salads and soup were delicious, and clearly hand-made. i don't know if glutinous rice was used, but towards the end it was getting a bit heavy and i'll ask for less rice in future.

upstairs, it's bright, clean and spacious. it was noisy that day as there were two groups of very excited and talkative ladies, but i was alone and it didn't bother me much. it might have had though, had i been with one or two friends and wanted a quiet conversation.

the spirally staircase is a quaint touch, but while climbing up all i was concerned with was not spilling the contents of my tray!
