After weeks of waiting we finally made it to lunch at Jean May.  As my friend who went last week put it: "solid dishes in general".  We started with endive salad with walnuts and gorgonzola, the added pear slices nicely neutralised the bitterness of the endives and as a whole a very refreshing salad.  Next was threadfin with heart of cos - perfectly crispy skin and nice texture of the fish.  Mains of duck breast arrived first, we ordered it medium and perhaps should have gone for medium-rare for an extra bit of juiciness, skin tasted strongly of star anise which matched well the sweet carrot on the side.  Cod arrived last with roasted cauliflower, fish was cooked just right and the dish worked very well.  Portion of chips - average.   We finished with coffee and honey madeleines - freshly baked and satisfyingly soft.  
Other Info. : For a French restaurant the speed at which dishes were served seemed to be on the rushed side and the order of dishes appearing also could be improved - fish before duck, anybody? We did say we will be sharing. Wine glasses are of good quality and the right shape, corkage fee $250 per bottle.
