Am glad you still have the guide book. Should be the same establishment. Will change mine to the second location! Thanks.

That was when it moved to its 3rd and final location at 1/f Taurus Building, corner of Granville and Carnarvon. The 3rd location was the one that closed May 8, 2003, date per https://www.scmp.com/article/412299/french-dining-icon-close-after-battl... The Taurus Building's address is 21 Granville, but my memory is that the restaurant entrance was on Carnarvon. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks and amended. The entrance of the 2nd location was on Carnarvon Road. Not sure of the final location.
