SIGNATURE DISHES
Foie gras with grape sauce
Grilled Italian sausage salad
Frog legs salad
Braised lamb shank
Squid ink spaghetti with seafood

SETTING: A simple yet homely open structure with glass walls.

FOOD: The menu reveals that this is no ordinary restaurant and shows a variety of unique dishes. The food is French in origin and comes in very sizable portions. For starters, frog legs salad is delectable: served hot, with a balsamic dressing and fresh garlic, and presented in style. Pan-seared foie gras with grape sauce literally melts away in your mouth. If your expectations of the fare have risen after the starters, the main courses can easily exceed them. Grilled tenderloin pepper steak is a good recommendation, served on a bed of tasty sauteed spinach and mushrooms.Grilled rainbow trout is another, served with capers and steamed vegetables. The accompanying potato-mushroom gratin is delightful. Complete your meal with crepe served with freshly imported strawberries, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream.

WINE: A somewhat limited selection of wines.

SERVICE: Attentive and personal, yet casual enough to match the style of the restaurant.

PRICE: Expect a bill of up to 2,500 baht for two, without wine.
