Featured Outlet - Graze, Sheung Wan
At first glance the menu appears similar to any other cafe but when you have a look at the food on display you know it isn't. Opening at 8am on weekdays and 9am on weekends you can start your day with a healthy breakfast menu and a cup of coffee made from Graze's very own whole bean grind or one of their gourmet teas if you would prefer.
After breakfast there really is quite a large selection to keep you "Grazing" throughout the day. Salads, Sandwiches, Pastas, Quiches, Burritos (they look really good), Muffins, Cookies and don't get me started on the desserts. Everything is available to have in the small but comfortable dinning area or you can take away (Including the wine).
When I visited I was behaving and just had the baby spinach, toasted walnut & blue cheese salad that was really good and surprisingly filling. My good behavior didn't extend to the beverages and I did indulge in a couple of glasses of Summerhouse Chardonnay while I relaxed after a busy Monday.
The thing that you notice about Graze is that, despite the happy staff and fun atmosphere of this cozy place, they do take what they do very seriously. The standard of all the ingredients is extremely high, as is the service, but despite this they have offered everything at very reasonable prices.
If you are on foursquare then you'll be wrapped with the special offers you can get just for checking in. Click HERE for the details.

SPECIAL RELEASE
DOM PERIGNON 1996
We have been offered a 40 case parcel (OWCx12) of the excellent 1996 Dom Perignon (in green gift box)
This item is very rare in Hong Kong and you will have to act quick if you would like to purchase.
But that's not all! We have also secured this at a price well below the market rate.
1996 Dom Perignon $1,880 per bottle.
Original Sealed Gift Box
Available for immediate shipment
No Minimum Quantity.
Tasting Notes:
The 1996 Dom Perignon is superb. Layers of roasted nuts, spices, tar, smoke, acacia blossoms and a light touch of honey emerge from the glass, adding complexity to the fruit. This large-scaled Dom Perignon is currently in a beautiful place where early tertiary notes have begun to appear, yet the wine retains plenty of freshness. This is a terrific Dom Perignon that can be enjoyed today but that also promises much pleasure for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2029
Wine Advocate 95pts
This features floral, candied citrus, pencil shaving and hazelnut aromas and flavors. It's fresh and focused, with a firm structure offset by a mouth filling richness and a lacy texture.
Wine Spectator 93pts
To Purchase Call TODAY! Dean +852 9730 0781 or deanaslin@saveurs.com.hk
