Les Amis Group is known for its uppity restaurants. One of the restaurants under the group is Bistro du Vin which has 2 outlets, one in Zion Road and another in Shaw Centre. Recently there is a 1-for-1 lunch set promotion by MayBank credit card, so I decide to have lunch at the Shaw Centre outlet with Rachel.

Les Amis Group is known for its uppity restaurants. One of the restaurants under the group is Bistro du Vin which has 2 outlets, one in Zion Road and another in Shaw Centre. Recently there is a 1-for-1 lunch set promotion by MayBank credit card, so I decide to have lunch at the Shaw Centre outlet with Rachel. The restaurant is located on the ground floor opposite HSBC bank, between Les Amis Group's other restaurants. Although Les Amis is known to be expensive, Bistro du Vin offers reasonable priced 3 course lunch set at $30++.
The restaurant is decorated in deep red and white colours, transporting one to a French like brassiere environment.
The wall is filled with lots of pictures.
A glass of red wine comes with the promotion lunch set, which tastes quite smooth.
We are served some soft and fluffy bread and butter to start the meal with.For ENTREE, there is 7 choices available.
Foie gras ravioli with toasted hazelnut & Port wine sauceRachel selects this which looks rather plain with only a single ravioli when served. The pasta skin of the ravioli is quite tender and filled with soft and smooth foie gras. Tastes quite sinful.
Homemade rabbit with nuts, raisins & spices terrine, salad with hazelnut oilI select this which is a terrine made of rabbit meat and pork. It tastes like pork with nutty texture. None of the gamey taste which I fear of.
For PLAT PRINCIPAL, there is 7 choices available too.
Duck leg confit with stewed haricot beans & lamb sausageRachel has this as she is in love with the duck confit after having it in our last meal here. The skin is quite dry and crispy, while the meat is quite tender. While it still tastes good, but not as good as what she used to have.
Grilled lamb ribs glazed with honey mustard & Provençale herbs, Du-Puy lentilsI am surprised by the extreme tenderness of the lamb meat. The texture reminds me of lamb stew and does not taste gamey. The lentils is cooked till very soft and flavourful.
We add on Truffled fries ($6++), which has barely any tastes of truffle oil, and Sautéed mushroom ($4++) which is quite juicy and garlicky. Lastly for DESSERT et FROMAGE, there is 6 choices available.
Caramelized apple & raisin Crumbles, roasted apple ice cream & whipped creamThe ice cream is deep inside the pile. Dig the spoon right all the way in, you will the taste all the different texture in your mouth : soft, hard, crispy. Quite a combination.
Baked pear tart on puff pastry with salty caramelIt is beautifully presented with the layers of pear slices, topped with caramel ice cream. The puff pastry is a bit disappointing as it is not crispy enough.
We ended the meal with a cup of coffee each. Overall it is a very filling and tasty meal. The restaurant is quite packed and get quite noisy. Service is great too, as the staff takes time to explain about the promotion and menu.
