On my wonderful visit to Hong Kong a few seasons ago, I had the pleasure of dining at – Le Souk Hong Kong Moroccan Restaurant, and what a dining experience it was!
Enjoying a great Moroccan style meal in Southern China was the last thing I expected when visiting this city.
This restaurant is located in the ever popular SoHo District of Hong Kong, or more commonly referred to as the entertainment district on Hong Kong Island.
It is literally filled with a variety of unique restaurants, bars, shops and where you will also find the Le Souk Restaurant.
This is one of their two privately owned and operated restaurants in the area.
It is where locals and return visitors come to dine over and over again and as I recently found out, for very good reason.
The food is to die for!!
Hong Kong is an international city and very well known for its culinary delights. There are literally hundreds of fabulous restaurants that serve dishes from around the 🌎 globe.
During my short visit in the city, I thoroughly enjoyed the local Chinese cuisine, including some amazing Dim Sum dishes.
But it was such a pleasure to spend time with the owner of Le Souk, and sample some of his beautifully prepared Moroccan plates!
“Here at Le Souk, our cuisine is our melting pot of flavors and traditional dishes from Morocco, Egypt and Lebanon, expertly prepared by our chefs.”
Le Souk refers to “The Market Place,” or the meeting place where people come to experience the sights, sounds and flavor of cities and towns across North Africa and The Middle East.
This is where the owners have prepared a wonderful variety of dishes in their menu, that is sure to satisfy most everyone!
Start your meal with a full menu page selection of delicious Appetizers, Soups and Salads, all freshly prepared and that are traditional dishes from Morocco, Egypt and Lebanon.
Below, is just a sample of what is offered and what I had the pleasure of trying during my recent visit.
Egyptian Tabouleh
This was an amazing freshly prepared bowl of 🥗 chopped tomato, onion, flat leaf parsley and bulghar wheat, tossed with lemon juice, salt & pepper.
A great starter and a perfect healthy choice!
This is also an excellent vegetarian dish!
Zaaluk
This is another fabulous healthy starter choice!
Roasted eggplant pureed with garlic, coriander, fresh lemon juice and virgin olive oil.
Served with a basket of warm 🍞 bread for dipping, it was smooth like pudding that will make your taste buds come alive!
Mergez Salad
My host insisted I try this other favorite dish that is very popular and keeps locals returning again and again.
A fresh green salad topped with North African spiced sausage. This was definitely my favorite of the three choices.
The salad, dressing and spiced sausage was simply outstanding and bursting with a variety of flavors!
With a huge number of choices for the main, including ever popular lamb, chicken, seafood and vegetarian dishes, it was incredibly difficult to decide.
After careful consideration, my choice was the 🍗 Chicken Tagine. ☺
Chicken Tagine
Served piping hot in a 🍲 bowl with succulent pieces of chicken slow cooked with preserved lemon confit, artichokes and green olives.
It was a perfect choice with an abundant number of flavors seeping from the sauce, accompanied with perfectly cooked tender pieces of chicken.
The entire meal was absolutely wonderful, and it’s no wonder locals and return visitors keep coming back again and again.
It’s quite evident that the owners take a great deal of pride and devotion into serving their customers beautifully prepared dishes from their homeland.
Their two restaurants in Soho are beautifully decorated, making this a perfect choice for a casual or romantic dining experience.
Update 2022
Unfortunately and probably due to the Covid-19 Pandemic crisis, a recent search on the internet has this amazing restaurant shown as being permanently closed. 🙁
I will certainly keep you updated should they open once again in the near future.
I’ve also listed the 🏮 Official Hong Kong Tourism Board link below to their website page for your convenience. It’s filled with excellent information on everything this beautiful City has to offer.
