This was one of the restaurants known for their duck as per my map of bookmarks. We decided to…read morecheck this place out for lunch as they open quite late for dinner (7pm!) like many other French restaurants.
As we came for lunch, they had special lunch set menu of either Entree (appetizer) + Plat (main entree) AND/OR dessert for a set price. The Plat of the day was Sea Bream and their grill of the day was a sirloin steak for an extra €2. We got both plus their magret (duck breast). This meal got two choices of sides, which we chose mashed potatoes and seasoned vegetables, and a sauce which we chose creamy mushroom. The portions were HUGE. For the price we're getting for lunch, it was a steal. The magret was delicious - just missing a bit of flavor in my opinion. Maybe pepper which was on the side? But perfectly cooked. My mom loved the mashed potatoes as she was getting a bit sick of chips (fries) LOL. The seasoned vegetables were soooo good. So much flavor rather than just the normal steamed broccoli we've been having. The sirloin was definitely missing a lot of flavor. I don't think it was seasoned as there was salt and pepper on the table to add to it. But there was a sauce we weren't sure of to give it some flavor. The sea bream was sauced nicely, but was quite heavy in my opinion. The presentation of it was beautiful though. Potato chips, whole potato and flavored mashed potatoes? all in one dish with the fish. Yum! I enjoyed the mashed potatoes? a lot.
The restaurant also provided complimentary bread AND small canned pork pate. Nowhere else we've been gave complimentary pate. My mom and boyfriend LOVED it so much that we asked the server where this could be bought to bring back to friends and family. She was able to give us extra before we left and inform us where to buy more! So nice of her and the owner!
Overall, I feel like this was a nice experience. The workers here were very friendly, and the food was good and beautifully presented.
