Prices are really cheap for French food in Singapore. I applaud the restaurant for being able to produce really decent french food for their low pricing....
Ambience - one of those inexpensive, simple design...so non of the frou frou of chic french restaurant, I guess that they are being authentic to what they preach....
Duck Rillete with bread and cornichons - the duck rillete ( pate-like) is very delicous and has the gaminess of the duck as well. Nice!
Foie Gras - Pan fried with pear poached in port wine & honeyed apple . Foie gras was done well and does melt in your mouth, but not as gorgeous as some of the ones that I have tasted in my short lifetime.
Interesting Starter- river Cherry shrimp spaghetti. Very simple, very delicious, full of flavour. Though not a traditional french dish, I appreciate the way the pasta was done al dente, and the shrimps gave the texture to this dish.
Duck Confit - this is their most famous dish. The duck is great, not just good , but great! Only peeve, portions are kinda small. But crispy skin with a very moist and tender meat underneath. The mash was lovely too.
Chicken Roulade- unfortunately, I have tasted better chicken roulade....the chicken taste a tad bland, and the foam seem a bit superfluous .....
Roasted Pork Belly with lentils & poached eggs. This is not too typically french, perhaps found predominantly in the south cities of Marseille or the ones close to Spanish borders.
The pork meat was delicious, the only little bit of flaw is that the skin is roasted too hard. The lentils with poached eggs are a good complement.
