The charming french restaurant is hidden amidst the green garden scape of HortPark and because it is secluded if you go on a week day you can almost have a 90% chance of having the whole restaurant to yourself!
Firstly, as a french restaurant, you can expect free flow of bread from most of them. Although the bread were delicious, the presentation of the bread was somewhat lowly in comparison to the rest becase it came in a kind of baking case that people use to put cakes straight in the oven. Nevertheless, no complaints there.
I love a good onion soup so I ordered one and the beef broth was really thick and tasty. The stock was also not overpowering with the smell of beed, and the cheese gratin on top was done well, proportionate to the ratio of soup so that it does not take over the dish. Thumbs up to that!For mains, I had the Malabar snapper, served with couscous, broccollini, roasted
vine tomatoes & essence of bell peppers. The presentation was wonderful and as with many fine didning places, the food portions look small but it was filling. Snapper was fresh and 'fat', and even the simple vegetables were cooked so well you really taste the freshness of it.
My boyfriend had the olive oil–poached Tenderloin, served with pickled orange & arugula–datesalad, hazelnuts, grilled king mushroom & red wine sauce. Beef was done superbly well and ever so tender. Mushroom was succulently grilled and everything just fell so well together!
We didn;t order a dessert because we were just too full, but seriously, the quality of food is good. It was not cheap though, just the tenderloin already cost $48. To get it cheaper and if you have friends who drive, do go for their set lunches which are basically the same mains at half the price!
