can't help but to mention that in my review title. It was my first visit to BDV, knowing that it is slightly upmarket in price, only came here because it was farewell for a colleague. 1st impression of this supposedly Michelin star restaurant (suppose so seeing the Michelin mascot at the cashier) was the place was decorated to be small and cosy but not necessary comfortable with the small chairs and table. Lots of wine bottles seen around the place exemplifies the love of wine by the french. The tables are mainly good for 4 pax maximum so not recommended for big group gathering. I ordered the set lunch with foie gras mushroom as appetizer, ribeye as lunch and pot au chocolate as dessert. Can't quite remember the ingredients but the appetizer comprises of foie gras served together with mushroom and pistachio nuts, quite appetizing i must say. My rib came lonely with no garnish except for some Béarnaise which is a sauce made of clarified butter emulsified in egg yolks, white wine vinegar and flavored with herbs. I extremely like how well prepared the steak it was, lightly charred on the outside yet retaining the succulent juices in the inside with good degree of pink. Also like this portion of ribeye which has good bits of fats in between. Dessert was normal though and nothing much to shout about. We also ordered some mussels marinier but were quite disappointed with the mussels small in size and tasting a little too soft for liking, kind of unusual for mussels actually. But the sauce is actually quite nice.
