With the sign "Coming Soon" still displayed prominently on the website, we were surprised that they took up our request for a table at Belon, the newest restaurant in Soho when we called a couple weeks ago. I never have the urge to jump on the bandwagon to check out any latest restaurant in town, but I made an exception for this French bistro with Australian chef James Henry at the helm. A few months ago after
a promising meal at Bones, Chef James' previous restaurant in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, just before it was closed for good late summer last year, I wonder what and where his new gig's going to be. Then late last year I heard the news that he's going to open a casual Parisian bistro right in Hong Kong, in collaboration with a local restaurant group.
