Godbro XO wanted to get his Godmother's birthday present from an aromatherapy shop on Staunton Street, so we met up last Saturday to go to the shop and had lunch together afterwards.We decided to have lunch at Bistronomique@Staunton because we tried their Western district branch, and it was pretty good. Also, there was a sign outside the restaurant saying Set Lunch $108 and up, which we thought was quite a good deal for lunch at a French restaurant.The sofa-style seats in the restaurant were pr
We decided to have lunch at Bistronomique@Staunton because we tried their Western district branch, and it was pretty good. Also, there was a sign outside the restaurant saying Set Lunch $108 and up, which we thought was quite a good deal for lunch at a French restaurant.
The sofa-style seats in the restaurant were pretty comfy, and the tables were adequately spaced apart so we didn't feel very crammed.
I guess since it's lunch hour, the restaurant had plain paper on the tables with the silverware already available in the place setting, so it would be a quick and easy clean up.
XO and I looked at the menu and inquired about the daily soup and daily special. The daily soup was cream of mushroom soup, and the daily special was a slow-cooked beef cheek. Both of them sounded good to me, so I ordered the daily specials.Once we placed our orders, a bread basket was served. Since XO is allergic to wheat, he had the white roll, and I had the wheat one.

The wheat roll was warm to the touch and had a crispy crust. The butter had a good strong flavor and went well with the wheat roll.

Daily Soup--Cream of Mushroom Soup: The soup was quite thick and creamy and had a pretty strong mushroom flavor. The soup is the completely blended type, and I prefer my mushroom soup to have actual slices of mushroom in it, but I think the blended type has become more popular in recent years.

Daily Special--Slow-cooked Beef Cheek: The beef cheek was perfectly tender and infused with the sauce. It was so tender I didn't even have to use a knife to break it apart. The sauce was very flavorful, which made the dish taste like hours and hours of labor was spent on it! The mashed potatoes were very creamy without being too heavy. The dish was such a flavor bomb already that the cheese on top wasn't really necessary!

Pear Tart: The tart shell wasn't very crunchy, but passable since the tart is topped with a big slice of pear where the juices could have made it very soggy. The custard was pretty smooth, and the pear was a little soft and had just the right amount of sweetness! A pretty good dessert for a set lunch!
XO and I were pleasantly surprised to find Bistronomique@Staunton serving such a good quality set lunch at such a good price! My beef cheek was so good that I decided to order it to-go to bring home to my mom!
