Le Comptoir : The Big Three in Repulse Bay
If you ever spend the day at Repulse Bay, be sure to drop by The Pulse, the trendy shopping mall conveniently located along the beach, for some good food and drinks. Le Comptoir has opened three brand new restaurants in The Pulse and I was fortunate enough to visit all three of them.
TRi
Address: Shop 302, 3/F, Lobby C, The Pulse, 28 Beach Road, Repulse Bay, Hong Kong
Website: http://www.tri.hk/

TRi, an upscale Balinese restaurant, is one of the first restaurants in Hong Kong that features the Balinese cuisine. The moment we set foot inside restaurant, it suddenly felt as though we were teleported to Bali. From its seafront location to the use of bamboos for its design and furniture, TRi takes you from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong and brings you to the island paradise. The overall ambiance and feel of the restaurant practically demands you sit back, relax and have a great time with your companions.

While we weren’t able to try their food, my friends and I were able to grab some drinks at their bar. Named after various places in Bali, the drinks we ordered were simply delightful. The Bai Tai, my personal favorite, is a combination of Jamaican dark rum, lime juice, orange curacao and basil orgeat syrup. The Sayan Punch, a mixture of rum, lime and passion fruit juice, grenadine and soda water, was also a great drink. With a mixture of rum, chocolate bitters and griottine syrup, the TRi Fashioned had a unique taste that we enjoyed. Lastly, the Uluwatu Runner, which had arak, brandy, bergamote juice and cinnamon grenadine, had wonderful flavor. Each had their own twists and uniqueness to it, but they all were just as refreshing.

The Ocean
Address: Shop 303-304, 3/F, The Pulse, 28 Beach Road, Repulse Bay, Hong Kong
Website: http://www.theocean.hk/

From the lush nature of Bali to the crystal blue waters, our next stop was The Ocean – a premier seafood restaurant that opened late last month. The restaurant wasn’t open yet when we visited but we were lucky enough to be given a quick tour of the place. And what we saw definitely didn’t disappoint.

Sticking mostly to a blue and white motif, everything about the place accentuated the underwater theme of the restaurant. The jellyfish tank in the middle of the room was mesmerizing to look at. The walls were decorated with wavy patterns. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide a spectacular view of the ocean. The lights resembled fishing baits and fish bowls which I found to be very stunning. The textured plates that looked like fish scales were also a nice touch.
Like TRi, we also weren’t able to try their food. We did, however, have the pleasure of meeting their staff and seeing their kitchen. And if I base the food on that experience, you will have nothing to worry about. The chef and staff were very accommodating toward us. The kitchen was extremely nice and spotless. It also had a really nice view.
Hotshot
Address: G/F, Shop 114-115, The Pulse, Beach Road 28, Repulse Bay, Hong Kong

After our pleasant trip under the sea, we headed off to shore at Hotshot. Serving what they call “New American” cuisine, Hotshot perfectly presents itself as the newest hangout place for all the young adults. Evoking a beach shack vibe, the restaurant is designed to make all its customers feel cool, artsy and hip, from surfer boards hanging on the walls and skateboards hanging on the ceiling to the giant Bart Simpson figurine and a classic Airstream trailer.
The food, although a bit pricey, was scrumptious. Their lobsters were superb. If you’re a lobster fan, be sure to drop by every Wednesday night for their lobster promo which also comes with free fries and appetizers. The duck was also really delicious. Both were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The portions were just enough to make your tummy satisfied, but still have enough room for dessert – which we had. Their keylime pie and chocolate fudge cake were moist, sweet and filling. It was a nice way to end a delectable meal, as well as our wonderful tour of Le Comptoir’s newest restaurants. I’m betting all three of them will be a hit among tourists and locals alike.

So beautiful. I don’t know if I would want to leave…
Wow these restaurants all look beautiful. I have never been to Hong Kong or Bali, but I’ve heard great things about both. I bet the food in these places is amazing too.
They are stunning! First saw Repulse Bay during the day, but all of these made the trip at night very worthwhile! 🙂 Go and visit and let me know how it goes!
Oh my goodness, these places look too die for! I love the cozy romantic setting – nice and private. These places will have to be added to my bucket list, for sure!
Yep, you use the right words! Beautiful restaurants that compliment such a beautiful area by the bay 🙂
The TRi place is really romantic. 🙂 Perfect for an intimate conversation, or for catching up conversation with a friend. 🙂 What I like most is the “duyan” concept. I don’t really know the exact term. hehe
Very true, romantic and classy altogether. And yes, the “duyan” concept was a really nice touch! <3
I love the ambiance of Tri. Everything makes you feel relaxed and cozy. The Ocean is nice too! Very chic and modern. I bet Hotshot is such a delight as well! I would love to go here!
Hahaha well each one had their own beauty and style, would love to go back anytime!
I love the romantic ambiance here. I’m not a fan of Balinese food, but definitely a sucker for their interiors and architecture!
Well i am a fan of Balinese food and TRi was just the perfect mix of good food and cozy interiors
The place and the food looks great. By the way, you take good photos! more success!
Awww thank you dear! 🙂
Wow I mean wow, TRi looks really beautiful! The interior is amazing, I’d probably spend a considerable amount of time photographing the place if I were there. I love the, what do you call that, hanging couches?
Hot Shot on the other hand looks really cool. I’m a lobster fan so definitely eyeing that one. Hmmm… I wonder if I’d ever get a chance to go at Repulse.
Yes, beautiful, stunning, dreamy! And why not? You should definitely go! Worth the trip!
Wow it looks great!! Interiors and architecture sounds amazing!! All these pictures are stunning!!
Thank you for the visit! Which one was your favorite?
The interior design, the concept, the details, PERFECT! I would love to try these food joints one day! :>
You definitely should try all of these in Repulse Bay! A+ I must say!
Why not? Time to make that HK trip happen soon!
Wow… Just Wow! The designs are simply amazing! I would love to have spend a day there.
Why not? Time to make that HK trip happen soon!
Wow! the TRi interior is just to cool. Perfect place to celebrate me and my wife wedding anniv. The only problem is I am not to familiar with Balinese foods.
A first for everything right? 🙂 I would have to say very similar to Thai and Malaysian food? Ever tasted Sate or curry like dishes?
wow! I’m speechless! This place looks stunning. I want to go to this resturant some day :/
Go to all! Which one was your favorite tho? 🙂
Wow, what a creative and refreshing set up.. I just love the ambiance and yes, it is truly a perfect and romantic place for a date.. hopefully I could bring my special someone here someday
Wow!
What swank and swagger must be required to get into those places.
Would our flip flops be okay? 😉
All three restaurants have unique features and attractions. I especially loved the atmosphere of the first restaurant with the bamboo enclusures that give you more privacy!
Tri is my favorite, I am absolutely in love! What I would give to sit in one of those chairs right now
Those three restaurants are superb in their interiors and restaurant themes. Looks really posh and im sure the prices are much higher compare tk other resto in hong kong.
If I were to go there, I’d prolly stay in TRi, the place looks so cozy with all those suspended sofa/lounge chairs. I could imagine my friends there bonding over good food, great drinks with a beautiful background.
Wow! Tri just looks really beautiful and indeed perfect for a romantic dinner. It looks like a really nice place to bond and relax while enjoying a delicious meal.
I love the interiors at TRi. The place looks cozy. I hope there are good desserts there since I am not much of a drinker. -katrina centeno
Loving the look of Repulse Bay and Hotshot… Wednesday Lobster Promo? Yes please 🙂
Awesome decor in these places. Look so inviting.
What a cracking’ post!
I haven’t been to repulse bay but I am familiar with the place because of the beach in the area. The three restaurants looks really comfortable and the interiors looks fresh.
I will have to thank you for bringing me inside this place because I do not think I will ever eat there. Hehe. Very intimate ambience indeed.
What a fantastic place! I’d love to spend some time and cherish the beautiful place. how much would it cost me to experience that?
Love the wooden touch and it is making the ambience so beautiful and romantic.The restaurant looks very comfortable.
Wow, such a beautiful place! I love the seats in the first one shown!
Wow. Design details of the restaurants are very interesting. Love the use of surf boards are wall accents 🙂
OMG!!! the Lotus flower dining area is so romantic and beautiful. I wish to dine there one day.
Woah! I’m at awe! This place is like those I’ve seen only in magazines! How’s their rates?
I can’t get over how amazing these places are! I really hope I can visit someday 😀
Wow, this place is beautiful and grand! I’m surprised that you focused on the atmosphere instead of the food though. Pictures of the dessert were not outstanding enough to capture my attention although the names were my favourite!
Wow, it looks super pretty!!! I hope I can go here someday!
Lovely places! I’d definitely try the forst and the last one. Now I only have to see when I’ll be in the area 😉
Wow lovely place! I hope to someday see it too, your pictures are so inviting!
the first one looks super cosy and beautiful! I love this place!
Looks delicious, you just added something to my bucket list 🙂
A first for everything right? 🙂 I would have to say very similar to Thai and Malaysian food? Ever tasted Sate or curry like dishes?
These are all super nice options! I think I would choose Tri, love the hanging pods
I like the dining are in TRI- very romantic. And Hotshot looks like fun. I will pin for my next trip through HK
I just love and adore their taste in decorations. Truly cozy and romantic.
I’m convinced enough that I should visit Hong Kong, but boy you keep giving me reason to do it as soon as possible! Ugh, I would love to stay at this place and wouldn’t mind coming out! <3
Sounds yummy! Especially the Bai Tai.
Too bad you didnt had the chance to try their food! You have to update us when you do 🙂
Hi Karla! I’ve been here. Are you still in HK? Let me know if you are up to meet up 🙂
Hey, I would have loved to meet up but I am now back in the Philippines 🙂 Hope you enjoyed the place
What a lovely place and it looks like you had a fantastic time! I particularly love those gorgeous chairs!
It’s amazing ambiance… I loved the wood stuff in the first restuarant… lovely drinks as well(: … it’s more than just food, it’s a complete experience, we all should work on building good ambiance like these innovative fellows, makes the customers happy, feel like they are in the sea or somewhere outdoors than coming just somewhere to eat!!
