Wow, I'm surprised that I'm the first here to write a review of this place!La Petite Cuisine is an authentic, unpretentious and humble French cuisine restaurant that is tucked away at a corner of Serene Centre. It is not overly priced, very affordable for its quality and not to worry; it really wouldn't burst your wallet! Oh, there is no service charge and GST as well. This never fails to be packed especially during dinner time over the weekends. This place also does not take reservations; water
La Petite Cuisine is an authentic, unpretentious and humble French cuisine restaurant that is tucked away at a corner of Serene Centre. It is not overly priced, very affordable for its quality and not to worry; it really wouldn't burst your wallet! Oh, there is no service charge and GST as well. This never fails to be packed especially during dinner time over the weekends. This place also does not take reservations; water is self-service and they don’t do fancy ambience or cutleries. Nevertheless, customers are still constantly flocking over. You can choose to sit in the air-condition area outside the restaurant (or a table or two, though), just outside the restaurant (outdoors) or by the garden with candle lights.
My boyfriend and I read the reviews and recommendations first online to help us decide on what to order. Finally, I came to a decision to order the popular Duck Confit with Potato Gratin for my main course. Oh yes, a warm and soft bread roll with butter will be served to you first.
The Duck Confit with Potato Gratin only cost $16.50. This would come across as expensive to me only if the dish is horribly micro waved. But no, the duck meat was so tender and juicy that it fell off the bone so easily.. the duck skin was crispy enough to my liking too. The potato gratin tasted like potato salad but more buttery.. I'm not a fan of butter-packed stuff but I guess it was alright as the potato chunks were neither too hard nor mushy.
The dish really impressed me and I'll definitely come back for more next time.
PS: I am generally a small eater and the dish was just-nice for me. Bigger eaters might want to order more dishes, maybe try the Appetizers!
