Tucked away in a side street ( Stanley Street) in Central sat this quaint French and Mediterranean concept restaurant. It was a weekday evening and we booked the restaurant week promotion set dinner. It was a hot day and the restaurant was quite full. We were seated near the entrance from Stanley Street. The set price for the restaurant week dinner was $588 per person and I did not order any course with extra add-on. I chose Snails with Garlic Butter and Parsley as starter; Marinated Baby Chicke
It was a weekday evening and we booked the restaurant week promotion set dinner. It was a hot day and the restaurant was quite full. We were seated near the entrance from Stanley Street.
The set price for the restaurant week dinner was $588 per person and I did not order any course with extra add-on. I chose Snails with Garlic Butter and Parsley as starter; Marinated Baby Chicken as Main; Sautéed Broccolini as Side dish; and French Toast with Spice Ice Cream for Dessert. The set did not include tea or coffee and we ordered a sparkling water (Evian) which was $85 per bottle.
Here are my tasting notes for the day:
Before the starter arrived, they gave us two tomatoes 🍅 and a huge lemon😅. We were supposed to use the knife on the table and make our own salad with them; “sprinkled with olive oil, and salt and pepper”, the waiter that served us said. We did and it turned out quite fun and the tomatoes were ripe and sweet. They also gave out bread at this juncture to enjoy with the salad which I forgot to take photo . Quite enjoy this homely experience I must say.

Snails with Garlic Butter- this is supposed to be their signature dish and it did not disappoint. The look of the piping hot snails with generous amount of herbs on top was already very inviting when it was served. Flavour was full on, snail was soft and the herby garlic butter was so good that I tipped out all the goodness from the shell on my plate and dipped my bread on it. It was absolutely moreish. So good.

Marinated Baby Chicken and Sautéed Broccolini - the chicken had been confit in citrus and it turned out moist, juicy with the right amount of acidity. Delicious. The sautéed broccolini was done beautifully retaining the right amount of crunch and also of generous portions.

French Toast with Spice Ice Cream - the slice of French toast had a crust to it like cracking a crème brûlée top and the bread inside was silky soft, pillowy and creamy which was delicious. The ice cream had cinnamon flavour but I wished it could come in a bigger size to go with the toast.

The overall service was good, the team at the restaurant was attentive. The only drawback would be the layout of the entrance to the restaurant. On a hot day, people coming through the entrance doors would inevitably bring the sweltering heat in despite the use of a thick curtain to shield out the unwanted hot air. As there were alfresco dining too outside, traffic through those doors were inevitable. Even they put fans out, it didn’t help much and did affect the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.
