After being to the Bistroquet Grill and Bar at Alexandra two weeks ago after trying their smoothie, I went back there again to try their main courses.

Their menu said their pizzas are wood-fired thin crust pizza. We ordered the Meat Lovers' pizza which had duck meat with mozzarella and some herbs. It was very light but not filling and for those looking for a quick bite.

ARC always had a very clean ambience, perhaps of it's central location. The restaurant was near the escalator and had a nostalgic vintage feel. The menu itself was stapled onto a wooden board. They offer a wide variety of drinks, ranging from summer ale, cider, wine to coffee, iced tea, and a list of every possible smoothie made from real fruits! They all had fanciful names like "wake you up" and "o'real'". I ordered "berry power" to try and it was quite nice! U can taste the fruits, but it is a

U can taste the fruits, but it is a little sour, probably because it's from real fruits.

our host for the evening bought 9 voucherlicious vouchers of S$270 worth for S$135 for bistroquet pizza & grill at ARC (Alexandra Retail Centre) @ PSA Building & we were especially keen to try out the 400g porterhouse steak (which looked very alluring on bistroquet’s Facebook photo).
the place had the relaxed rustic ambience for a great chillax & drinking joint (though it was not drawing the crowd even with voucher promotion as we stayed till 9pm closing time and traffic was quite light). we were liking it already, though still suspect about the standard of food.

we ordered a caprese (read ca-pri-seh) salad & a funghi pizza to start. the caprese was the usual mozzarella with rockets & tomatoes, light, good actually, and enjoyable.

the large (12″) thin crust funghi pizza was good too (they served a white pizza here but we were the old-fashioned lot who loved tomato sauces on our pizza).

we ordered a full rack S$28 baby back ribs (1/2 rack S$18) to share, and it was good! fork tender and tasty, well marinated, though some of us would have preferred to have the sauce served separate. and 1 friend liked the purple cabbage with mayo which was too sweet for me.

next was the 400g porterhouse – the reason we came for specifically. however it seemed that the office lunch crowd had taken off most of the porterhouse steaks & we were left with 3 porterhouse to share. we had 2 medium rare and 1 medium, served with beef sauce and the chef brought us some chimichurri sauce (taste like pesto sauce) which went well with the steak. it turned out that while the taste was ok the meat was a bit tough on the sirloin side to be considered a good steak.

I am not much of a dessert person and we did not expect much really but since we had the coupon, we ordered a chocolate lava cake and a calzone (a turnover which can be sweet or savoury..in fact they serve a foie gras calzone here as a main course item). As it turned out the lava cake was quite outstanding, and the hardened crust containing the chocolate lava was very good in texture & taste & different from lava cakes in other places. the caramelized walnut with ice cream was a good pairing too.

& the calzone was so pretty. the dough texture was really good too, crispy on the outside not fluffy but a bit like a pizza dough.
somehow the young chef took a liking for us, and he showered us with 2 more desserts FREE – a panna cotta which was forgettable and a tiramisu, which was again quite pretty in presentation & tasted quite good albeit not enough liquor for some of us. very good indeed & far above our expectations for dessert in a drinking joint kind of place.
we paid in total S$124 (7 vouchers=S$105 +S$19cash), and that included 2 cappuccinos + 4 beers on 1 for 1 happy hour promotion
