Had our first try with my dearest buddy at this small french restaurant located on the slope of old bailey street to celebrate for his birthdaywe were offered to sit at the table in the outside area of the restaurant, with a standing heater.

we were offered to sit at the table in the outside area of the restaurant, with a standing heater. We were separated from other people in the interior and the feeling was so isolated and cosy. however, this quiet atmosphere was soon badly interrupted by a couple who spoke so loud during their meal and kept smoking! it would have been much better had they not appeared! And one thing to note is that this outside rea is exposed to the public neighborhood, so at some point of time we did hear some noises from young boys and girls, which was not so pleasant. Luckily this lasted for only a few minutes.
anyway, we were served by foreign waiters with friendly and polite attitudes throughout the evening. we ordered a few dishes, alongside glasses of house red and white wine. The wine were as great as the food!
Appetizers:
1. Baked snails with garlic & parsley butter sauce - i love the pastry going together with the snails!! it tastes so wonderful!! the sauce is very appealing too!! a very nice appetizer! makes me form an very good impression on the food served by this restaurant
1. seabass and king prawn with lobster sauce with risotto - strongly flavoured lobster sauce, seabass and king prawn in good texture, lovely ball-shaped risotto served at the side of the dish. - my buddy prefers this more to the white cod
1. Warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream - the choco cake is not too sweet, with rather thick textured and rich chocolate sauce flowing out. It tastes just right when it goes together with the vanilla ice cream! makes us feel so warm as its name suggests
2. Iced Nougat - find this quite special indeed, especially when it is "iced" and a bit crunchy. it works well with the strawberry puree. A bit sweet, yet acceptable.
By the way, my careless buddy left his iphone on the table. The waiter (or the boss?) kept calling me the whole night to inform us of the lost phone. He is just sooo good !
