My pick in Restaurant Week this season is Épure which has long been on my to-eat list, a 4-course lunch at just $398 at this michelin-star restaurant is certainly a bargain.Passing through the lounge to enter the classy dining hall, we were seated at one of those circular tables with a little semi-private setting.Starting off with a refreshing amuse bouche featuring a cauliflower gel tops with promegranate mousse and some crisps.

Passing through the lounge to enter the classy dining hall, we were seated at one of those circular tables with a little semi-private setting.
Starting off with a refreshing amuse bouche featuring a cauliflower gel tops with promegranate mousse and some crisps. Never really tried such combination before but the flavor is balanced wonderfully. Their complimentary mini-baguette and black pepper cheese danish were warm and really nice. The french does know how to make good bread.
The beef tartare was elegantly presented and the little seaweed addition and crispy chicken skin were nice touches. But was a bit heavy handed on vinegar resulted in overwhelming acidity (exacerbated with the mustard as well) I may be a traditionalist here but would prefer having a creamy egg yolk for more richness and balance out the acidity.
The main course was a choice between pork and amadai. Of course we sampled both. The pork dish featured tender pork loin and cheek with an incredibly delicious caramelized sticky sauce. Also love the crispy veg on side.
Comparatively, the amadai, though it’s well cooked with extremely crispy fish scale, it fell short on flavor. The beetroot sauce didn’t give much and the cabbages was slightly bitter that wasn’t very appealing.
Finally it’s the showstopping pistachio souffle with a strawberry sorbet. Beautifully risen with lovely melt-in-your-mouth texture, yet the best part the pistachio flavor! It may not be the best souffle I’ve ever tasted but the prominent pistachio flavor did earn bonus points.
Ending the meal with a nice cup of flat white and a little petit four (only three tho) - passionfruit candy, earl grey macaroon and coffee caramel chocolate.
I’m fairly satisfied with the meal but lacking the wow factor. The service was slightly pushy at the beginning which was not expected from a michelin restaurant. It’s forgivable at this price but I’m not sure I would return for their regular full price menu.
