I went to Pastis on the beckoning of a good friend of mine who wanted to meet up before she had to go back to working as a school teacher again. I initially declined as I had work and that I would only be able to have lunch some place that was close by. Luckily, another friend of mine who was also joining us recommended Pastis as it was closer to both our working locations.I was the last one to arrive and going up the long escalator had left me especially hungry, so it was a good thing my friend
I was the last one to arrive and going up the long escalator had left me especially hungry, so it was a good thing my friend helped take my order for me through the phone while I was on the way. There weren't too many people there at the time and it didn't take long before I was served the first of the lunch course I ordered: Roasted Beetroot Soup with Creme Fraiche.
I won't pretend to know what was in that soup exactly, but it was creamy and rather filling enough even without the bread that was also served alongside the meals.
Shortly after I had finished the soup, I was served the main course I had ordered: Roasted Duck Breast, Green Beans and Sauteed Potatoes with Orange Sauce.
Now, I have no idea what exactly they put in that orange sauce but it was simply divine. It went well with the medium-rare roasted duck meat it was paired off with and was altogether a pleasant surprise to the palette in contrast to the savoury soup I was first served with. The memory alone is simply mouthwatering.
All in all, even though I decided not to take either of the two options of coffee or dessert as a third course, everything else was proportioned well enough to satisfy my hunger and accomplished more so in impressing me. It saddens me somewhat to know that Pastis changes their lunch menu every week, but if the other menus are anything like the one I had that day, I wouldn't hesitate going back for another meal.
