(1) Appetizer

I luv luv the escargots! Usually, I will order half a dozen to share. This was probably the first time I got to eat half a dozen myself! Very generous indeed. The escargots were simmered in aromatic garlic herb sauce.. yummy! I even dipped the complimentary bread with the sauce. Keke

(2) & (3) Main Course

The pork trotter was crackling good, crispy on the outer, although the meat itself could be a tad dry but still manageable. Similarly, the salmon skin was grilled with a nice crispiness, paired with mussel with creamy sauce and asparagus.

(4) Dessert

A good meal was never complete without a good dessert! Do you like pear? If the answer is yes, then you will like the dessert here. ^_^

The dessert was really innovative - Chocolate layered with pears to even out the sweetness and pear sorbet to freshen up your palate.

Overall, the food was lovely. To add on, the service was commendable, with the serving staff greeting you with a broad smile and always checking on you.

I hadn’t made any successful reservation during the last Singapore Restaurant Week as the restaurants that I wanted to visit were all fully-booked by the time I was down to it. So in the recent same event (7-13 October 2013), I acted early to secure a lunch reservation at Taratata Bistrot, not because it was one of the few restaurants with available slots but its menu was appealing enough for me to want to try it.

French cuisine in a French Bistrot helmed by two Frenchmen, Chef Bertrand Raguin and Chef Philippe Nouzillat. How authentic can it get? Both chefs have more than 20 years of culinary experience in top-notch fine dining restaurants as well as Michelin-starred establishments around the world. At only S$25++ per person for a 3-course lunch, dining here is just an inexpensive affair.

I am truly captivated by the Parisian-style decor of the bistrot that exudes this old European vintage charm with its wooden tables & chairs, warm lighting and black-and-white photographs on the wall. The floor space is not huge so the furniture is placed quite close to one another. If you’re not bothered whether your neighbours can overhear your conversation with your dining mates, then it’s not an issue.

I had requested for a corner table when I made my reservation and Ms Marie-Agnès Labopin, the front-of-house, had sent me an email to confirm that my request had been taken care of. I appreciated the thoughtful pre-dining service as she had also sent a few email reminders as my reservation was made more than a month ago which could easily slip out of my mind.

As we arrived earlier before our selected time slot, we had to wait for a couple of minutes outside the restaurant for all guests from the 1st seating to leave and for the restaurant to refresh the table setting which didn’t take long. We were then greeted by big smiles and ushered to our table speedily. Ms Labopin even exclaimed to me that she had reserved a lovely corner table for us. She’s very candid which we like. Made us feel like we’d walked into a friend’s house for lunch. Orders were also taken promptly.

When a basket of bread and butter was served, I was already excited to find out if the bread was warm. And indeed, it was. I always love fresh, warm and moist French baguettes. And this was even better because it had the sourdough tang that I adore! The slab of butter could be softened more for easy spreading.

The menu had 2 selections for appetiser, 2 choices for main and 1 standard dessert. We ordered one of everything so we could try them all.

Loved the cosy ambience within the family-friendly bistrot once we stepped in. The layout and decor of the restaurant is such that there are many intimate nooks (much like what I would imagine a real French bistrot would be like) where you can just be yourselves and languish over good food and wine. Service was also impeccable, with the attentive and accomodating wait staff with friendly smiles. They looked like they are really glad that you chose to be guests in their workplace. The food was lo

The food was lovingly prepared. The escargots are a MUST-try! So delicious they were we mopped up every bit of the yummy mushrooms and tomato gravy with our crusty bread. On the other hand, the seared salmon was a bit forgettable. The roasted lamb leg was a tad gamey for my liking though I loved the accompanying creamy gratin. Couldn't quite taste the garlic and rosemary herbs teh lamb was supposedly prepared in. Scallops were done well albeit a trifle bland, if not for the seafood cheese base they came with.

Dessert was the highlight for us - chocolate & caramel tart with vanilla ice-ream (with real vanilla bean flecks!) hit all the right notes with us. The crust of the warm tart was crumbly while the centre oozed chocolate lava sin.

There were some hits and misses but overall, it was a pleasurable dining experience dining in this popular venue.

Complementary bread - They were quick to replenish the bread when we finished ours; toasted baguette, warm when served and bread was so soft with the outer crust crispy. Great start to a meal and is rather addictive.

For appetizer, my friend had the Seared Marinated Salmon with Black Pepper & Momotaro Tomato Salad with Basil Oil. A huge slice of salmon nestled on tomatoes, it was a refreshing appetizer and the salmon was very fresh, with a hint of natural sweetness. The black pepper accentuates the sweetness of the fish, and the slightly sour tomato salad makes a good end to the dish.

I had the Half Dozen of Snail Baked in Herbed Garlic Butter. Being a fan of escargots, this certainly did not disappoint. The escargots were chewy, and I especially liked their herbed garlic butter - slight buttery taste, and the garlic flavour was not overpowering. Along with many others from other tables, I dipped the toasted baguette into the leftover herbed garlic butter sauce; absolutely great.

For main course, my friend had the Crispy Oven-Baked Pork Trotter with Mushrooms Fricassée. It doesn't look that appetizing but it was certainly good. It was baked till crispy, and I loved the outer crust. The meat within wasn't dry as others have mentioned previously, and it goes well with their gravy. I also liked the very fine mashed potato that came with it, although that was a little salty.

I had the Baked Sea Scallops with Mussels, Prawns, Mushroom & Cheese. The portion looks small but it's actually very filling and just right for a small eater like me. The large scallops were well baked and the outer crumbs were crispy, but it wasn't the best I've tasted as the natural sweetness was only slightly distinct. Nevertheless, I liked the combination of de-shelled mussels, tiny prawns and mushrooms in a cheese and cream based gravy; even better if you are a cheese/cream sauce lover.

For desserts, we both had the Chocolate & Caramel Tart, Vanilla Ice Cream. Seems like a simple dessert but it actually tastes better than it looks. You could say that it's like a mini molten lava cake encased in a cookie tart. I liked how the molten chocolate flowed out when cut, and the two layers of cookie crust was a nice change to the common molten lava cake. Nevertheless, the caramel was only drizzled at the sides and not within the tart itself. The vanilla beans in the ice cream was distinct, and the ice cream had a slight velvety taste to it; but the ice cream failed to impress, although it's a very good complement to the very sweet and rich chocolate tart. I especially loved the crispy almond flakes at the side.

Overall a very pleasant first time dining experience at Taratata, thanks to Restaurant Week. Service was good as the servers were attentive and replenished our water every now and then. The manager also enquired about how we found the food after and during the meal when we were having our main course.

Do give it a try if there are still slots for lunch this week. The set lunch at $25++ is a good deal to the usual $35++, and you are unlikely to be disappointed with the great authentic cuisine served at Taratata.

The dessert was really innovative - Chocolate layered with pears to even out the sweetness and pear sorbet to freshen up your palate.

Came here during Restaurant Week so all these was just $25++ per pax. Food is definitely good and service was commendable.

French Onion Soup
This was done exactly the way I wanted it to be. Cheesy toast which was soaked in the savoury goodness.


Once you dig in, there seemed to be endless amount of soft onions

Escargots in herbed garlic and butter, Crab and Pomelo Salad
The crab meat hidden by the greens were fresh, sweet and creamy. Reminds me of a dense coleslaw without the vegetables. The pomelo was bitter but matched well with the crab.

These 3 dishes were followed shortly by 4 desserts, which were mostly accompanied with a pot of creme anglaise.

Prune Clafoutis with Rum and Raisin Ice cream
This was unexpectedly good as this French dessert is usually served at home for in large servings. This individual tart-like Clafoutis had a chewy texture and is very sweet. The prunes as well as the ice cream emit strong hints of rhum. Worth a try since it's not common in local French menus.

Creme Brulee
This is relatively large but I like generous portions of desserts since it is difficult to be satisfied with morsels of good things.A fairly decent brulee for the price.

Grand Marnier Souffle
This mighty souffle rises to a level which is one the highest I have seen so far. The alcohol kick was satisfying but somehow I still miss a chocolate souffle.

The sweet cream is really good because one can control the sweetness of the dessert. I recommend pouring everything in as it would taste quite eggy and plain on its own.

Warm Chocolate Cake with Lavender Ice Cream
This molten cake is once again larger than the usual ones.

The gooey inner filling oozes out as expected but it would be better if the outer cake wall was thinner. Otherwise there would be no more molten lava to go with the dry parts. Nonetheless, the lavender ice cream and creme anglaise did set this dish a little different from the rest.

The ambience is more of a bistro as the name suggested, so do not go expecting it as high end Restaurant standard. Normal day prices are reasonable with the portion size they served. The place is decorated like a cafe with simple table and chair. Food is better than Delifrance.

As there were 4 of us, we get to try the 2 different Appertizer and the 2 different Mains.

I prefer my choice of baked Escargot in herb. It came piping hot in a special escargot plate which has hole for the little snail. It was covered with lots of herbs that look like hot green moss. The snails were chewy and the melted hot butter herb combinations, make this appertizer a pleasure to eat.

Sis ordered the Halibut Steak with Pilaf rice. The tasty and fluffy rice was served in a mini red pot and a huge portion of lightly pan fried fish to go with it. I like the slight crisp of the fish except that I find the fish too bony.

The rest of us ordered Crispy Roast Pork Belly which we get a slice. It may look small but was filling for me as it came with creamy and smooth mashed potatoe. The pork was crispy and meat very tender. I really enjoy this dish.
