The last few months have certainly been great moments for people with spoiled taste buds, with the opening of new restaurants in the lights of Drawing Room, Cafe Gray Deluxe, Whisk etc and the latest French restaurant in town - The French Window.
After the host showed our way through a maze-like passage, we finally arrived at the dining room. Situated at the prime location of the IFC, we were fully expecting a royal palace style decor but were surprised with their rather simple yet cozy style. It made us feel right at home.
The lunch menu does not offer a wide variety but does have some enticing selections.
Appetizer: Angus Prime Beef Tartar - this was a no-brainer. We simply picked the most expensive appetizer and we definitely did not regret it. Fresh angus beef seasoned with pepper placed on top of a thin pizza.
Appetizer: Modern avocado shrimp - this was a dish inspired by the molecular cuisine. Diced shrimp wrapped inside a dumpling made with avocado, lime and vegetable soup. The chef scored very high marks with the great presentation as each 'avocado shrimp' was made into a nice grape-fruit shaped dumpling.
Main: Roasted quail with black trumpets. Argueably the most mouthwashing dish out of our dishes and if you are into food with strong flavour, this is exactly what you are looking for. Roasted quail stuffed with black trumpets and pork meat, was served in a thick vegetable soup. The quail meat was very tender while the stuffed meat and mushrooms gave it very a nice texture.
Main: Pan seared lamb. This looks like a piece of artwork more than anything. The pan seared lamb loin, sliced and diced, was placed aside to a potato fennel. From far, we all thought it looked like toy train entering a tunnel.
Dessert: Poached Pear, almond cappuccio & Chocolate sorbet. We were already very full after the delicious appetizer and main course but well, we always have room for dessert. We wanted something refreshing and we got exactly what we wanted. Poached pear, mixed with freshly made almond cappuccio (like the traditional chinese dessert - almond tea) and chocolate sorbet. Tried mixing them up well before eating because the sorbet was quite sweet.
Having tried some of the other new restaurants in town, we must say, The French Window, was the best of the bunch. The food was reasonably priced and most important of all, the service was magificent. The servers always took their time to patiently explain every single ingredient in the dish. We certainly felt entertained and welcomed. Needless to say, we will definitely come back.
