Description

The old charming house with a dreamily-lit garden is known for its traditional French cuisine with pressed duck as the star. The wine menu is astounding.

( HSBC Dining Guide, BK#178, Mar 23, 2007)
----------------------------

The 70s picturesque house turned into a warm French restaurant is where you come for authentic food, not for posh atmosphere. You must be sure to order the special pressed duck, which is a dish Le Banyan is famous for.

-----------------------------------

The setting is romantic and entrancing; an old house in a dreamily lit garden of magnificent trees, a good place for boisterous company or an imtimate meal. The cuisine is mostly traditional, including the house specialty of pressed duck-after the meat has been carved, the carcass is placed in a beautiful metal press, which extracts the blood to be used in the gravy-prepared at a table among the diners.
