Dinner @ Le Bistrot

Polo and I went to try out a french restaurant, recommended by a website.  Ibanker was supposed to join but something happened at her home, and she could not make it.

Le Bistrot was your rustic style of french restaurant, located near the Singapore Indoor Stadium, and was easily reached by the circle line MRT.  I also made use of this chance to test out my new Canon macro lens.

The pricing of Le Bistrot was based on the number of courses that you ordered.
Entree + Main course = $50
Main course + Dessert = $50
Entree, Main course & Dessert = $60

For entree, we tried the  Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée (Because Polo said it was highly recommended by folks in HungryGoWhere).  We also tried the Poor Man's Caviar, which was verrine of eggplant and garlic purée, chicken liver mousse and Pernod crème fraîche, and it was served with chargrilled bread.

For mains, we had the duck leg confit with honey-mustard vinaigrette and creamy potato purée.  Duck confit was a bit too salty for my liking.  I had better confit before.  We also had the sautéed strips of beef tenderloin in a cep (porcini) mushroom and crème fraîche enriched sauce, served with pilaf and a tarragon pesto.  Not bad, but quite normal.  Portions were alright though, not the usual tiny french serving.

Close up of the confit:

Desserts are selection of cheeses, served with honey, fruit conserve and salad and the warm dark chocolate ganache and pistachios in feuilles de brick pastry, served with pistachio crème Anglaise and vanilla bean ice cream.  Cheeses were good, but the chocolate was too sweet for me.  I liked dessert, but at the same time, I do not like it too sweet.  So it was difficult to find desserts that I like.

Total damages were close to $300 including wine.  Hits and misses, I would rate it a 7/10, and I do not think that i would be back.
