We went for the petite Christmas set menu, trust me do not underestimate it, we left full to the brim! We started with the onion soup which the chef thoughtfully split between 2 petite bowls and the escargot, both superb! The steak fritte was amazing and the green sauce was a tangy counterpoint. For dessert the brûlée was served as it should be in a shallow dish for max custard to brûlée ratio. The mouses was also served in the classic bistro fashion, spooned at the table from a big bowl, super rich and super light at the same time. Couldn’t fault a thing, especially the service which was spot on!
Every dish was tasty and overall great. We came here to celebrate our friend's birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed the meals we selected for the 3 course meals. We added on oysters and mussels (so delicous) and had the best escargot I've had in my life. Hands down my favourite dish at the restaurant. Great service from Anna and Frank. TYSM
We had friend's birthday celebration dinner here. The food, atmosphere is great and so is the service. My standout dishes were the Hokkaido seared scallops, fresh oysters, and the beef tenderloin foie gras and also the escargots. The drinks were slightly overpriced in my opinion as we spent $2600 that night. But definitely a great date night place to go to.
Very cute decor all around and nice large windows. I got the bubulle drink and it came with a nice rose ice inside. For mocktails we got the la vie en rose and that was quite nice too. We got the Le petit menu which honestly filled us up so much! We shared all the dishes between us two so were able to get a good variety of dishes. The French onion soup was probably my favourite dish, had a nice cheese with it and a strong flavourful soup! The escargot was salty and nice, the bread went with it really nicely. I enjoyed the cheesy mash, it had a nice texture to it! The risotto was nice and the flavour was good with a good hint of the truffle. The Angus rump was okay, a bit chewy and on the rarer side. Fries were nicely salted though. The mousse was a large serving! It was not too rich which made it better to finish. The crème brûlée was nice too. Overall nice experience and value especially with the Le petit menu.
We had an extremely disappointing dinner at this French restaurant. From the start, the service was somewhat inconsistent, slightly rude and not attentive. Drinks and food items came out fast from the kitchen, which was a positive. We tried all the starters and they were a miss. The onion soup had no seasoning and lacked depth, the salad with the three tiny pieces of cheese was too average and the escargot had good flavour but the presentation was subpar. One consistent thing throughout the night was how under-seasoned all the dishes were. This was the case as for the steak, chips and aligot. The desserts were also a huge miss, with the creme brulee coating your palette with a film of fat; something that I have never had before. Overall, for the price, location and quality, it’s hard for me to understand how this restaurant has 4 stars. I unfortunately do not recommend it.
