It’s my friend’s birthday and I picked this two Michelin star’s French restaurant for lunch to celebrate the special occasion. It’s not the first time that I have been to this restaurant but every time I went, the high ceiling, modern yet classy decorations, and pristine table cloth and silver cutleries made one feel special and ready to be pampered.

My friend didn’t want something too heavy so we opted for their 3 course menu under “LES INSPIRATIONS DE LA SEMAINE” priced at $688 plus 10% service charge. We ordered a bottle of sparkling water to share as well.

I chose the following:
Appetiser- Frogs legs sautéed with amontillado sauce, crispy tuile & cromesquis

Main- Roasted pork pluma, brandied cherries & sucrine purée

Dessert- Pistachio soufflé,
caramelized pistachios & Gauloise ice-cream

Here are my tasting notes -

Bread and canapés- the sourdough bread was nice and warm with salted butter. Personally, I would prefer a variety of small speciality bread
which they used to serve to add variety. After all, the crust of sourdough bread tend to get rather chewy once it cooled down which happened in our case. The canapés were crispy thin crackers dusted with dried herbs with a creamy dip. It’s was light enough to wet the appetite.

Frogs legs sautéed with amontillado sauce, crispy tuile & cromesquis - frogs legs came in two ways. The sautéed frogs legs dish was presented with a crispy tuile on top. Once cracked opened, one could see a generous amount of frogs legs, and taste wise, they were tender and the amontillado (a variety of dry sherry with an lingering aftertaste and a hint of nuts and wood) sauce with a sprinkle of red spice/ pepper was delicious, just a small hint of sherry and was well balanced. The tuile added some texture and nutty finish to the dish and went well with the sauce.

The smaller piece of frog leg was made into a lovely looking cromesquis ( kind of croquettes) and the frog leg was wrapped in bread crumbs and deep fried. Overall a good dish

Roasted pork pluma, brandied cherries & sucrine purée - according to the waiter, the pork was first slowed cooked and then roasted. The cuisson of the pork was done beautifully, pretty aromatic on the outside and the meat inside was just tender, yet gelatinous with a hint of cherry sweetness and went well with the smooth glossy brandy sauce (just a hum of brandy and not overpowering). The sucrine (lettuce) was crisp and added freshness and sweetness to the dish. The richness, sweetness and freshness of the various elements in the dish just danced on my palette
. An excellent dish - it’s so good that I would order again in future.

Pistachio soufflé, caramelized pistachios & Gauloise ice-cream - I have never had a pistachio soufflé and this dessert was a surprise. It was lovely and risen high to behold when it was served. The inside of the soufflé was smooth and of the right consistency with a filling of more pistachio goodness and crunchy caramelised pistachios hiding at the bottom of the pot! It was not sweet as some soufflés were but with a variety of texture jam packed in one little pot
. The Gauloise (a sweet herbal liqueur) ice cream had a slight flagrant note but lack lustre in comparison with the soufflé. It would be better if it were creamier.

Petit Fours - we were presented with a box containing various enticing sweet bites (which I forgot to take a picture of). Out of the little sweet treats that I took, my favourite one was the chocolate orange- pungent orange coming through and it’s not sweet.

In terms of service levels, they were of high standard as expected in a high class French restaurant. Since my friend was the birthday girl, there were birthday wishes on her dessert plate and our waiter also took a picture of us had it printed out to remember the special occasion which was a heart warming gesture
. Overall, good food and enjoyable dining experience every time.
