If you book lunch here, for weekdays please book at least a month in advance and for weekends, the next booking is January 2021 when I asked in October. So first of all, book in advance.I was on leave this week and since I can't travel overseas, I decided to revisit here. For a price comparison, L'Atelier and Le Jardin serve the same lunch menu but the price of L'Atelier is slightly cheaper. The bar table is still quite comfortable and you can admire their open kitchen as well.Since I was on le

Since I was on leave, I decided to go all out for their 5 course. First came their impressive bread basket where all the bread were warm and soft. For people with a smaller appetite, you can try 1 or 2 of them and in the end, they can arrange the breads for take-away. However, I pretty much finished all of mine.

Their amuse bouche was already amazing especially the right sided once. It basically is corn but prepared in 2(or if you count the popcorn 3) different ways allowing you to appreciate its different flavors.
The salmon was beautifully seasoned and most importantly not salty at all. The roe and avocado gave it an extra layer of richness.
The soup was light and the prawn inside was springy. The aroma of the coriander was refreshing without being overwhelming. Of course, if you prefer a richer soup, go for the "Hazelnut".
For my first main course, I chose the Fillet. The fillet was beautifully done and almost melting in your mouth. The cabbage underneath the fillet was sweet and together with the red wine sauce was a perfect combo.
In view this is a 3 star restaurant, my standards are definitely held quite high. When all the previous dishes are great, this I can only rate as good. Actually all the individual components are amazing. The light flavored chicken with the rich foie gras was extremely tender. Their potato confit was cooked just to the point where it was so soft it was like mashed potatoes(this is a complement). However, the sauce of this dish was a bit salty for my taste.
All was forgiven when I got my dessert. All the flavors were balanced so well like the the aroma of the almond, the sweetness of the fig and hint of ginger. Each flavor did not overpower the other and despite each flavor was not too strong, they combined into an amazing dessert.
