I walked past here a few times during lunch time and its often super long queue! We were looking for dinner ideas and knowing angmokia is craving french food again so i suggested here. Service was great that they took down our numbers so that they could call us back when there were seats. Thumbs up! Staff were friendly too! But the place is abit too noisy if u are looking for a date place. Anyway after taking a look at the menu.. i realised the reason for the long queue.. if u dun really mind or
Anyway after taking a look at the menu.. i realised the reason for the long queue.. if u dun really mind ordering high class food.. u can get a bowl of basic pasta (like aglio olio) at about $5. Seriously! Even in food court these days pasta probably cost more than that! So we went ahead to order starters, bread, wine and the premium dishes.
I had the salad starter which was very very tasty! A tad oily from the duck but very yummy and im not even usually eating duck. The duck was fragrant and crispy and doesnt taste 'gamey' at all. *slurps
soup was so-so with more potato taste than leek so it wasnt spectacular.
I premium menu only consisted of 2 items and it was the one who ordered. I had the monkfish-a white fish with a very rich and chewy texture. You can really tell its a good quality fish.. a bit more chewy than cod and less soft with more bite. The cream sauce was just nice and not overwhelming.. nice to mop it up with bread.
When angmokia's tenderloin came his first expression was.. OK it was very 'atas' looking.. with carrot puree design on the plate.. hahaha.. but i think we both agreed the meat portion was quite good for the price. $22 or @28? Cant really remember..
One bad thing was the wine tasted horrid.. and to add salt to wound they serve italian wine in a french restaurant to a french! lol.. sacrilegious!
I would recommend this to friends and if u go please do not just order the pasta because it is the cheapest dish around. Try the other items! I probably would not go back soon due to the lack of variety.
