Fleur De Sel joins Gavroche Brasserie in providing
more options for French Cuisine at Tras Street. Chef Alexandre
Lozachmeur’s immense love for fine French cuisine and wine, and his
years of experience accumulated from working in some of the best
five-star establishments in the world, including the Spoon restaurants
and Alain Ducasse Au Plaza Athénée, alongside world-acclaimed chef,
Alain Ducasse. With such an illustrious career, I was looking forward to
a gastronomical set lunch.
Artisanal
Bread served with butter and a side of seasalts – blackcurrent and
rosemary. I found the bread a tad hard and difficult to chew but kudos
to the restaurant for making this bread course somewhat different from
the rest.
A variety of salts.
Worthy of seconds.
Amusebouche that was gone too soon.
Le Foie Gras de Canard
Seared duck liver, Apple tatin, petite salade and duck jus vinaigrette
Goose
or duck liver? I just like them wobbly in a quivering way, every bite
releases a bout of oil and best of all, comprise of sweet and savoury
all at once.
Le Homard
Boston lobster bisque, lobster tartar with sour cream and croutons
The bisque was served in a sake bottle. A full bodied broth – tasty much!
Le Boeuf
Seared Beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes, grilled lettuce, olives, dried tomatoes and red wine sauce
Between
beef and cod, I always pick the former. Two beef medallions cooked to
medium doneness, the mash, tired looking lettuce and dried tomatoes were
not too bad.
Le Chocolat
Chocolate and Pralines layers, fleur de sel caramel, chocolate sauce and ice-cream
Chocolate
cake meets chocolate icecream and I thought this pairing was lovely –
kudos for not oversweetening them. One dessert that left us scraping the
plate for more.
Le Baba
Grand Marnier liquor baba, and vanilla bean whipped cream, served with chocolate sauce
I
never had a good baba cake, neither did this work for me. The whole
spongey airyfairy texture soaking in sweet syrup was a miss for me. For
once, nothing that chocolate can do to save it.
Tea in a nespresso cup.
Cheese trolley up for grabs.
Priced
at $48++, it is considered steep but we were rather impressed with the
appetizer and mains. A really small outfit with a strong following,
perhaps if I have more time the next time round.
