Bistro Du Vin was the place we headed to just lately for our anniversary celebration. We selected Bistro Du Vin as a result of we needed to dine-in whereas strolling alongside Orchard sooner or later and located that reservations needed to be made. Since it was a venue that we needed to go to, we thought it will be cool to have french delicacies on our anniversary. Reminiscence of our honeymoon in France…
Bistro Du Vin Menu
There are 2 “tiers” of seatings in Bistro Du Vin. The tier above is on the road degree the place you may see pedestrians and vehicles move by. Also, as a result of narrowness of the excessive tier, there are solely 2 seaters right here. At the decrease tier (as seen from the image above), group seatings may be organized. You’ll additionally have the ability to see that alot of thought has been positioned into re-creating the informal french bistro atmosphere by way of the furnishings, music and decorations on the wall. That was reasonably cool. After we had been seated down, we got a while to flick through the menu…
There are so many dishes that we needed to strive. There’s the duck confit, the foie gras, escargots, sea bass and mussels However, we knew from evaluations that the parts are reasonably beneficiant and likewise that we had price range constraints 😅 Hence, we went with the group favourites of beef cheek and lamb shank. There are additionally different choices out there that rotates weekly…
After ordering, we had been served some breads. Very french certainly…
We additionally ordered some wines to go along with, the 2021 Sancerre, Regis Jouan ($17 – which retails at $50 a bottle) in addition to the 2018 Chateau Clarisse ($19 – which retails at $60 a bottle). Great choices that went properly with our choice this night…
Before our mains arrived, Tom had a small little shock for Kate…
Kate was pleasantly shocked 😀 When the flowers had been delivered to our desk, the girl on the subsequent desk requested her accomplice, “Now, where are my flowers?” 😅 As the flower was comparatively giant, our host Philippe provided to put it on a wine stand. He even added some cardboard to prop up the flower so it was seen all through our night. He even quipped that he enjoys a problem. Thanks Philippe! While we’re nonetheless on Philippe, he’s one humorous fella. Back to our neighbours, the gentleman needed to face up and head to the bathroom with out his masks. This was when Philippe needed to remind him to placed on his masks however he added a joke saying, “This is a really strange virus. You can sit there and have your meal without mask but when you stand up – mask on. It spreads when you stand up.” 😂
Soon, our dinner arrived…
Both dishes had been actually actually good. The Braised Lamb Shank with tomatoes & spices, potatoes ($44) was actually tender and the meat didn’t have the gamey style (in any respect) that’s normally related to lamb. Judging from the image, you may see that the portion is reasonably beneficiant as properly. Next, the Braised Beef Cheek in crimson wine, carrots, mashed potatoes, bacon ($44). If we had to decide on, the braised beef cheek edged out the lamb shank just a little. Simply as a result of the meat had been infused with the crimson wine and there’s a slight tangy-ness to the dish that made it that rather more appetising. Goes very well with the bread too.
To spherical up the meal, we went with one other crowd favorite – Calvados Souffle ($20)…
Although the Calvados Souffle, at $20, appears to be just a little expensive, it isn’t. After tasting it, we understood why. It was most likely the most effective souffle we’ve ever tasted. The souffle was actually smooth and fluffy whereas the delicate eggy-ness and milky style might be skilled with every mouth. Very satisfying. Little surprise that the souffle is printed on the home windows of Bistro Du Vin.
After dinner, we caught Thor (Love & Thunder)…
“You flicked too hard!” – Russel Crowe was so humorous…😂
