Not at all hungry after a buffet lunch, I ordered a seafood bouillabaisse and a bread basket to go with it. The former was very substantial with oysters, mussels, crabs, prawns, scallops and fish - a genuine melange of fresh "fruits de mer". The fish was slightly overcooked, but other ingredients were of good quality. The bread tasted like it came straight from the oven and was nice on its own or dipped in soup. We managed to finish the whole basket between us and still craved for desserts. Here praise must be given to the house signature strawberry millefeuille - very crispy and was a perfect match with the sweet and smooth custard. The mango mousse cake was immediately outshone by the millefeuille.
The service was good and the staff attentive. Though the meal was slightly pricier than expected at $300 per head, this was an enjoyable repast.
