I love foie gras, so I definitely had to try their 'famous' foie gras creme brulee. It was really good - soft, sweet, yet still very much foie gras (and that melting and rich sensation it gives your mouth). It went perfectly with the dry and crispy sour dough. The other starter - baby artichokes, pan-fried foie gras and sausage was average.

I love foie gras, so I definitely had to try their 'famous' foie gras creme brulee. It was really good - soft, sweet, yet still very much foie gras (and that melting and rich sensation it gives your mouth). It went perfectly with the dry and crispy sour dough.
The other starter - baby artichokes, pan-fried foie gras and sausage was average. The foie gras and artichokes were standard, but the sausage tasted like the cheap sausages you get at supermarkets...
Lobster soup, normal. I quite enjoyed the lobster meat on top. Sea bass, good - rich, well-cooked.
I have no idea what this beef flank actually tasted like, because it was just covered in too much onion sauce. Personally, I'm not a fan of having rich sauces on nice steaks, because it really covers the true taste of it. Again, either supermarkets sell really good onion chutney nowadays, or the sauce on this beef just tasted too much like supermarket-bought chutney.
The Paris Brest was.. Strange. It might just be because I've never had anything quite like it before, but the pastry was cold and soggy. Is it supposed to be like that? I have no idea. Other than that, a nice restaurant - good atmosphere, nice and friendly waiters who jumped at every opportunity to help or give their opinion.
