The renowned Parisian steakhouse La Vache! has officially debuted its largest-ever Hong Kong establishment in Exchange Square, marking a significant culinary addition to Central’s financial hub following the closure of the beloved Liberty Exchange. Operated by Black Sheep Restaurants, the new venue retains the bistro’s signature simple, high-quality dining experience while introducing an expanded layout designed to accommodate large social and corporate gatherings in a sophisticated yet comfortable setting. Situated at Two Exchange Square, the location promises to quickly become a central meeting spot for a refined lunch or lively evening celebration.

Maintaining Tradition with the ‘Aujourd’hui’ Menu

Patrons familiar with the La Vache! concept will find the core dining experience unchanged. The restaurant adheres strictly to its “Aujourd’hui” (Today’s) menu, a testament to culinary simplicity and perfection. Upon seating, guests are immediately presented with fresh baguette and a crisp, dressed salad. The centerpiece remains the USDA prime ribeye steak, served in traditional French style, accompanied by an endless supply of crisp, golden frites. This focused, no-fuss approach ensures consistency and quality, establishing the bistro as a reliable choice for classic French fare.

Expanded Features for the Central Clientele

The Exchange Square location distinguishes itself from its predecessors not only through size but through enhanced amenities tailored for the high-traffic area. The venue features a prominent dedication to social interaction, most notably showcased by a sizable, dedicated bar area stretching along the storefront. This design aims to recreate the conviviality of a classic Parisian zinc bar, serving as an ideal setting for after-work drinks with colleagues, friends, or dates.

To complement the drink offerings, the bar menu introduces several location-specific hearty snacks:

• The Burger Maison: An elevated cheeseburger featuring fresh brioche, caramelized onions, and melted Raclette cheese.
• La Vache! Steak Sandwich: Layers of sliced USDA aged ribeye, caramelized onions, and horseradish crème served on a robust baguette.

Designed for Group Gatherings

Recognizing the need for flexible dining options in Central, this new La Vache! iteration is specifically built to cater to large parties. The expansive main dining room includes numerous larger tables suitable for corporate lunches or sizeable dinner parties. For more intimate or private events, the venue offers two completely separate private dining rooms, providing exclusive spaces for extended celebrations well into the evening.

The new residence is located at Shop 103, Two Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, and is already welcoming reservations. Its strategic position within Exchange Square guarantees accessibility for both residents and international business travelers. Black Sheep’s commitment to offering an authentic yet accessible Parisian dining concept in a prime location solidifies La Vache!’s status as a staple within Hong Kong’s fiercely competitive dining scene.

To secure a table, reservations can be made online via major dining platforms. The continued success of the La Vache! model—simple menu, quality ingredients, and welcoming atmosphere—suggests its newest, largest home will be a fixture in Central for years to come.
