Date Place completed: 
c.1964-01-01 (Month, Day are approximate)

SCMP reported in 2003: Founded by a former French paratrooper, Bernard Vigneau, in 1964, the 60-seat restaurant was a slice of Europe in Tsim Sha Tsui. 

The restaurant was located at 6 Hankow Road (probably inside the Hanchung Mansion which opened 05/1962), at least until the 1980s.

It moved later to 4B-6H Carnarvon Road.

The message on the advert makes one wonder what actually was "1950s English style steak cooking"!

Jimmy's Kitchen Kowloon (1st location) [????-????]

Submitted by Klaus on Mon, 2020-02-10 03:08

There was a Jimmy's Kitchen in Kowloon in the 1930's already. It was located at 20 Hankow Road in the European Houses on Hankow Road (1920/30's) [c.1929-c.1962].  Possibly the restaurant was there during the existence of the houses.

Wasn't mentioned on their website.
