The space has gotten some layout re-design and feels a little more bistro-y/brasserie-y compared to how it was previously. But that's just what I thought.
Snagged a plate of their seasonal heirloom beetroot with burrata.
Sweet and delicious as always with a bit of zing from the pickled onions and for today also, a nice creaminess from the cheese.
Charcuterie is always a good bet here. They're made in house and that means you wouldn't get exactly the same anywhere else.
The pig head terrine was texturally engaging, paired well with the olive oil and mustard plus the crunch of those sliced cornichons. French pork aspic.
First time with their chickpea and artichoke pate. Can't say I can taste artichoke but this was not bad. Kinda like hummus with a cumin-y flavour.
Their brioche was delicious. Light yet buttery and peppered with bits of aromatic orange rind. We had seconds.
Oven baked 40 garlic French chicken.
Did not expect it but was pleasantly surprised that it was served with a cup of their celeriac and chestnut soup.
Couldn't get much taste from the garlic for some reason. The one we previously had at Les Bouchons was nicer because the garlic had noticeably more flavour.
Not a bad creamy linguine with wild mushrooms and shaven black truffle.
Was looking forward to their veal sweetbread. I seemed to have heard them mention that the risotto was cooked with duck jus but I'm not sure if I had heard correctly. This one was tangy - it's nice, just nothing like what I had imagined of duck jus. Today's sweetbread tasted like......chicken. The mushrooms on the rice also had more flavour than the ones from the mushroom linguine.
We found out what were their Agria potato puffs. They're balls of fried mashed potatoes. Enjoyed it.
No room for dessert today and a bitter black was actually what we needed.
