Located in the inconspicuous Pound Lane in Sheung Wan, Bouillon brings classic French comfort food and an extensive wine list to the city. The bistro has a no-frills, relaxed vibe with its mosaic tiled floors, herringbone tile-topped bar and wooden chairs. With its relatively affordable prices and laid-back ambiance, Bouillon has become a popular spot for a quick lunch or dinner with friends over a glass of red wine. ♡︎ 𝘾𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙚 𝙙𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙙, $268 (7/10) Duck leg, apple confit, shiitake mushroom The d

Duck leg, apple confit, shiitake mushroom
The duck leg itself was cooked to tender perfection, falling off the bone with just a gentle prod of the fork. The apple confit brings a welcome sweet note that pairs well with the savory meat. The execution shows promise but this classic dish would greatly benefit from a lighter hand with seasoning. Once the chefs adjust the heavy hand with salt, the dish could become a real highlight.

Beef cheek, Brussels sprouts, red wine, shallots
The meaty beef cheek is fall-apart tender after being braised to perfection in the decadent red wine sauce. The portion size is generous and there are plenty of sauce-soaked vegetables and strips of beef to soak up with the bistro's sourdough bread. While not particularly light or healthy, this dish exemplifies French country cooking at its finest with robust, comforting flavors that warm you to the core. The price is on the higher side but you definitely get what you pay for with Bouillon's inspired take on this classic French stew.

The first taste captures the essence of France itself, with flavors both elegant and bursting with indulgence. The foie gras was seared to retain its unctuous smooth texture while developing an appealing crispy exterior. The bittersweet notes of the apricot compote, still slightly warm from the pan, provide a lovely counterpoint to the richness of the fattened duck liver.

6 Burgundy snails, butter, garlic, parsley
The escargots were nestled snugly in a dish and covered in a generous amount of buttery garlic sauce. The shell-less escargots were tender with just the right amount of chewiness and the sauce was rich and indulgent, recommended to mop up the remaining with the bread.

Pork marinated in Riesling, smoked eel, foie gras, pickles
The filling combines marinated pork and smoked eel for a salty richness boosted further by the addition of foie gras and pickled vegetables for tang and crunch. Baked in a flaky pastry crust, the pate has a smooth yet spreadable texture and a rich blend of savory flavors, making it the perfect accompaniment for crusty bread and Dijon mustard, offering diners a taste of traditional French charcuterie in one delicious package.
