Bistro Du Vin
carrying on with the European theme, we move on to one of the Les Amis Group's most popular creations - Bistro Du Vin. the restaurant does a fine job in recreating the ambiance of a French Bistro, and this is translated into the interior design, the lighting, the service and of course the food itself. located at a corner of Shaw Centre, where all the cars roll up to its carpark, having a seat by the window really gives you a French street-side feel. take it from someone who hasn't been to Paris *wink*
![]() the restaurant is most famous for its set lunch menu, it is reasonably priced, covers a good range of their signature French dishes and comes with a good selection of desserts. the only small drawback, which i personally don't even consider one, is that the mains come in smaller portions than the ala carte version of the same thing. The mushroom veloute as an entree comes together with a serving of bread. we also tried a foie gras ravioli for starters and it was superb, down to the very last drop. ![]() a very hearty portion of a duck leg confit soon followed and it was served with pommery mashed potatoes. the duck meat was tender, well grilled and had a decent portion of meat. it is not surprising that this dish is one of the more popular choices amongst the set lunch mains. ![]() next up, we had the braised pork cheek set, that came with pork sausages, baked potatoes and cabbage. the pork cubes were all very soft and easy on the chewing, the gravy kept the meat moist and carries a unique flavour, though it felt a little boring towards the end. we saw other patrons having the tuna steak with ratatouille and made a mental note to try that on our next visit. ![]() then came our desserts. the baked apple tart on a puff pastry served with ice-cream is something those with a sweet tooth would go for. the waffle-like pastry was served warm and the apples had caramel sauce dripped over them. i guess this accompanies well with ice-cream. on the other side, we tried a creme brulee, which is a custard-based pastry decked with flame-burnt hard caramel. this is a popular French dessert that is served warm, and was also very sweet. good thing that the set lunch ends off with coffee to wash it all down eventually. in all, the visit to Bistro Du Vin was a refreshing and pleasant experience. the cosmopolitan crowd and packed tables on a weekend is probably the best testament to its quality (reservations for weekend dining is recommended) and having all that as part of a set lunch was surely a steal. the environment is nice, good for catching up with friends or having a small family meal. we're converts, and we'd almost certainly be coming back.
