Wynham Street is a connector at one end tapping with the heart of Central, as it runs up the slope, the other end merge with the Hollywood Road. There are quite a number of restaurants along the street. At day time, the eateries are filled with executives working around the area for lunch. As a French bistro, Pastis serves simple yet up to standard food. Charging at $128 for a 3-course meal is reasonable at today’s standard.
a) Wild Mushroom Cream Soup (Entrée) – 7.5/10
Classical blended mushroom soup on a cream base.b) Pan Seared Tuna Salad with Balsamic Dressing (Entrée) – 8/10
Slices of pan seared tuna was hidden beneath garden greens, a good mix as the fish was lightly dusted with black pepper.c) Pan Fried Sea Bass with Mush Carrot and Chives Cream Sauce (Main) – 7.8/10
The sea bass was a bit dry than expected, however, the dish was nicely prepared with cream sauce mixed with chopped chives on top and smashed pumpkin as base.d) Roasted Duck Breast with Roasted Potato and Orange Sauce (Main) – 8/10
From the crispiness and appearance of the skin, the chef should have prepared the duck skin as the Chinese BBQ chefs did by piercing the skin of the duck breast with tiny needles so that the fat would be released when pan fried and thus enhanced the crispiness. The meat beneath was a beautiful pink and moist. e) Chocolate Mousse (Dessert) – 8/10
The third course was a choice of dessert or coffee. This chocolate mousse was rich in dark chocolate and the texture was gooey.f) Coffee – 7.5/10
