Poulet is a modern French-themed bistro that offers a wide variety of French-based classics including soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts and of course, their signature rotisserie chicken.Curious about all the hype surrounding this relatively new kid on the block, we decided to give it a try.No French dining experience is complete without French Onion Soup, and the one we had did not disappoint. The thick liquid was rich, hearty and beefy, with copious quantities of fragrant caramelized onions.

No French dining experience is complete without French Onion Soup, and the one we had did not disappoint. The thick liquid was rich, hearty and beefy, with copious quantities of fragrant caramelized onions. The obligatory croutons stayed crisp and had a rich buttery taste to them.
We also had a serving of fried breaded winglets with a cranberry sauce. This was much more ordinary, with the winglets small, overly greasy and lacking flavour. The sauce seemed incompatible with the chicken, or perhaps this is just my preference.
On to the star of the show - rotisserie chicken. As expected, the chicken was tender and juicy, with delicious chunks of enticingly fragrant white flesh. The jus was thick and hearty, with a rich, delightful aroma. However, one major shortcoming for me was that the entire dish was exceedingly salty. Certainly not a dish to have often, for fear of serious health issues. Even the bread pudding we had after failed to adequately wash away the salty aftertaste of the chicken.
