Fringe Club Colette's

I regret to report the following. This is lovely venue with all sorts of interesting events that take place in the Fringe Club. There's also a very nice bar. The manager is a really nice guy. However as a place for eating I can't endorse it currently. The reason I say that is that on the menu it clearly states: Thai Vegetarian Curry On asking the server to check with the kitchen it transpires that the kitchen staff add fish sauce to the preparation of this dish. I am also advised that the veg buffet they offer at lunch time doesn't use cheese that is without slaughtered animal rennet. The position re the above changes I will be delighted to update this review. As mentioned its a lovely building with a really nice manager. Its such a shame the kitchen staff need to understand basics re vegetarianism. Updated from previous review on Monday June 15, 2015

First off, I don't think veg-friendly is the appropriate category because the buffet itself is 100% vegetarian; but then they also serve meat/fish upon order with an extra charge... so technically it doesn't really fall into the vegetarian category either. Carnivore-friendly would be the closest description I guess : Back to the food, I have eaten here twice and enjoyed it a lot both times. Theme varies every day: Monday is global, Tuesday Italian, Wednesday Thai, Thursday Asian, Friday global. First time I came it was global, loved it; second time Thai, even better! The tom yum was SO good. I quite like Thai food, but vegetarian Thai is rather hard to come by as it's not really a vegetarian-friendly cuisine. The Thai theme totally satisfied my desire. Price is about HK$100 per person, tea/coffee included. Pay at the counter to get a plate and you can go help yourself. The buffet does not have a lot to offer, but it's adequate and everything is yummy. They have bread, two three kinds of cheeses, salad, cut-up assorted fruits, maybe an appetizer/snack, a soup, and two main dishes with rice or some kind of carbs depending on the theme on that day. The setting was light and refreshing. One can also choose to sit outside on the balcony.

Only full members can reserve tables. Non members can walk in hope that there is space. I often have to go there for meetings. Not at all ideal for vegans cow juice based dishes prevail! The food is prepared in a meaty kitchen so I am very very careful as to what I chose from the buffet I stick mainly to the simple salads. The cooked dishes may well contain meaty sauces even though the staff consider them 'veg '. The breads almost certainly contain milk perhaps other animal fats also. I eat to be polite sociable but I don 't 'enjoy ' here.

I regret to report the following. this is a beautiful place with all possible interesting events that take place in the fringe club. there is also a very nice bar. the manager is a really nice guy. but as a place to eat, I can't support it right now. the reason why I say that is that it clearly says in the menu: Thai vegetarian curry when they ask the server to check with the kitchen, it transpires that the kitchen staff add fish sauce to prepare this harness. I will also advise that the veg buffet that they offer at midday does not use a cheese that is without slaughtered animal race. the position according to the above changes that I like to update this review. as mentioned, his beautiful building with a really nice manager. it is such a scandal that the kitchen staff must understand the basis of vegetarianism. updated by previous review on Monday, 15 June 2015

I often have to meet there. not quite ideal for vegan cow juice-based dishes rule! the food is prepared in a meaty kitchen, so I am very careful what I chose from the buffet, I am mainly at the simple salads. the cooked dishes can also contain meaty sauces, although the personal keep them 'veg'. the brote contain almost safe milk, perhaps also other animal fats. I eat to be polite sociable, but I'm not so happy here.
