Great Food Hall - Pacific Place

Can anyone tell me what kind of food is available at the Great Food Hall on level LG1 at Pacific Place?

Thanks.



Great Food Hall - Pacific Place


I believe that%26#39;s food court variety.



Great Food Hall - Pacific Place


You can%26#39;t find anything cheap to eat at Pacific Place anymore, as they%26#39;ve deceided to go even more upscale and closed down the main food court a while back. There isn%26#39;t much at the Great Food Hall (what happened to Triple O%26#39;s burger? can%26#39;t find it on their directory).





If you want something easier on the wallet, go over the footbridge across Queensway, and you%26#39;ll find fast foods and restaurants in the shopping arcade there.




The last time I was there the Great Food Hall was under construction and I understand it%26#39;s open now. Does anyone have any specific information on what%26#39;s offered?




Great Food Hall is a supermarket similar to Citysuper, selling more international stuff than usual local supermarkets. The location used to be Seibu%26#39;s supermarket.




If it%26#39;s inside the super market, there%26#39;re like 2 cafeteria type restaurants (at upscale prices), when I last checked in December.




The burger place there does a fantastic burger and chips. As meantioned previously ';Great'; is similar to City Super, but it does have a different range of food and alcohol, IMO, and also is worth a look if you are after something from your country. (BTW, it has REAL Tim Tams)




If your looking for a good feed at a food court try the one at Times Square in Causeway bay, a wide variety at a good price.




Great Food Hall, like said before is similar to SuperCity (or is that CitySuper), it has a great range of foreign (out of China) products coming from all over the world (US, France, Italy, Japan, Korea). You can find excellent food quality products as well. When I shop there, I feel like home seeing all the goodstuff from my home country. They also cook by themselves Japanase, some indian, some Mediterranean dishes. They have a wide range of cheese, not only the cheddar cheese, but also the real stinky but delicious other stuff like goat cheese and more. They also make sandwiches, salad, fresh juices and icecream to go. Of course they do have plenty of fruits coming from everywhere, and to conclude on this list, which makes me hungry, they also have a wide variety of pastries and breads.



On the side but at the same level of this market, they have 2 %26#39;restaurants%26#39;. One fast food burger kind of stuff, and another more like coffee shop, but also serve breakfast and lunches there. If you order a juice while sitting at the coffee shop, they will just walk to the booth making juices in the supermarket to grab your choices of fresh juice. It looks like a close collaboration, I guess this coffee shop is owned by the supermarket.



Although it is a bit pricey, upscale ... quality is worth the cost, once you are fed up of the cheap and dirty food !. I definitely recommend to pay a visit (FYI I am not a shareholder of the supermarket).




Great is run by Park N Shop, the local supermarket chain that is owned by tycoon Li Ka Shing. Therefore, you will also find Watson%26#39;s Cellar for wine next to it which is owned by the same group.





I like 360 as the upscale supermarket better. They have locations at Landmark (Central) and Elements (Kowloon Station). The Landmark one has a nice food court as well that serves a good variety of food.




AFAIK there%26#39;s a Triple O%26#39;s and a cafe in Great now. Didn%26#39;t see the burger bar recently, and it is likely to have fallen victim to Triple O%26#39;s.



Better walk over to the other side of Queensway for cheaper fast foods, like Delifrance, Fairwood and Maxim%26#39;s if you want food in more reasonable prices.
