La Brasserie

I went with my date to the restaurant in early December. There was a nice feel to the restaurant, and it was not hard to convince myself that that food was going to be authentically French. The Service was courteous, however, a bus full of diners arrived just after we did so a slight delay was there before the waiter took our orders. They say the first impression of a restaurant's food is in the bread. The bread was warm (a good sign), crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. However, I get the feel that it was pre-frozen and reheated rather than baked fresh on the night. The butter of ice cold and was difficult to spread, however. Shame. The Entree I had was the snails. It was very classically done and reminds me of my time in Paris. Nice Dish. The Main I had was the Tournedos Rossini, done medium-rare. It was cooked perfectly, and the flavour was wonderful. Great dish. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Fondant. It was a bit sloppily presented as the cream was dripping off the top. However, it was very chocolaty and perhaps a little too water in the middle. Overall, I'd give the restaurant a 3.5 star. It was a nice experience. If only some details of my dining experience can be adjusted, it'll easily become a 4 star + establishment.

Warm and cosy, La Brasserie serves up classic French food to a high quality akin to fine restaurants in Paris. Be sure to check out the duck and mussels!

Lovely slice of France just round the corner from our flat. Magnifique. Will be returning again and again.
