I worked part time as an assistant for an architect in 1967. His name was David Crowe who designed the interior of the original Cafe Amigo in Causeway Bay. The method of scorching pine wood and then wire brush and polish the wood was used to decorate that interior. It is uncanny to see this newer cafe with the same name and decor 53 years later and half a world away. It brings back memories.

Original " Amigo Cafe " was located on Percival Street ( Wanchai side, NOT Causeway Bay side ), between Diamond Restaurant and Elizabeth building complex. I watched it built from scratch to everything as I lived right opposite it !
I remember when I first went to this restaurant in 1970's, they will put a match box with your name engraved on it (for each customer). When you leave, each lady will get a rose. A very romantic restaurant. You will never forget it after your first visit. I am glad that it is still there. It brings back old memories. When I next return to Hong Kong, definitely I will visit it again. Thanks for sharing.

It's surreal to see how people in Hong Kong are able to carry on life as normal. While in London, life has come to a halt and all the restaurants will be closed from today. This video just reminded me of how amazing Hong Kong is and how lucky people are to live in such a wonderful city. I hope I'll get the chance to try this fine French restaurant one day soon:)

Thanks, Hong Kong is a wonderful city because we have Hongkonger. Two tips to stay alive (1) wearing mask when you are out (2) stay at home as much as possible. God bless you and your family. 💪💪💪

Hong Kong is a remnant of the British Empire. This video shows a part of the legacy that still prevails today.

Same here. New York is like ghost town now... panic buying on everything!

@@ometofu Salut Louis! C'est la même situation ici environ de Seattle -- les achats de panique sont partout. Tout ce que nous pouvons faire sous le verrouillage social est de cuisiner beaucoup à la maison. Bon appétit! 😊 🇺🇸
I had been to this restaurant quite a number of times but that has been a long time since my last dining there.. Thank you for bringing me back some good memories! Stay well and healthy.
I grew up in Happy Valley as a child, my cousin has dined in this restaurant, in fact, it is steps away from one of my grandma's home. I grew up getting off the tram station in front of the restaurant. I still need to go in and try this place out before it goes away.

J'adore la cuisine française -- une des meilleures dans le monde occidental. Il me fait plaisir de voir que les hongkongais continuent à apprécier la bonne vie malgré les défis qui leur présentent actuellement. Merci pour cette vidéo! 加油! 🇺🇸🗽

@Deep Dream C'est bon ça 👍! Si tu adores la gastronomie française, voici un canal qui pourrait t'intéresser: "French Cooking Academy" à kzbin.info/door/0lG3Ihe4LGV851lODRIS5g. Le chef Stéphane est un Français qui vit en Australie; toutes ses vidéos sont en anglais. Tu pourras essayer de préparer certaines de ses recettes à la maison. Bon appétit 🥂! 🇺🇸
Thanks for bringing places that even the average HK'er does not know about . for a fine dining establishment the prices are not too bad . Stay safe and healthy
