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 in the future and located that reservations needed to be made. Because it was a venue that we needed to go to, we thought it might be cool to have french delicacies on our anniversary. Memory 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 possibly can see pedestrians and vehicles cross by. Additionally, as a result of narrowness of the excessive tier, there are solely 2 seaters right here. On the decrease tier (as seen from the image above), group seatings might be organized. You’ll additionally be capable to see that alot of thought has been positioned into re-creating the informal french bistro atmosphere via the furnishings, music and decorations on the wall. That was relatively cool. After we have been seated down, we got a while to flick thru the menu…
There are such a lot of dishes that we needed to attempt. There’s the duck confit, the foie gras, escargots, sea bass and mussels Nevertheless, we knew from critiques that the parts are relatively beneficiant and in addition that we had funds constraints 😅 Therefore, we went with the gang favourites of beef cheek and lamb shank. There are additionally different choices accessible that rotates weekly…
After ordering, we have been served some breads. Very french certainly…
We additionally ordered some wines to go together 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). Nice choices that went effectively with our choice this night…
Earlier than our mains arrived, Tom had a small little shock for Kate…
Kate was pleasantly shocked 😀 When the flowers have been delivered to our desk, the woman on the subsequent desk requested her accomplice, “Now, the place are my flowers?” 😅 Because 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! Whereas we’re nonetheless on Philippe, he’s one humorous fella. Again 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 can be a actually unusual virus. You’ll be able to sit there and have your meal with out masks however once you get up – masks on. It spreads once you get up.” 😂
Quickly, our dinner arrived…
Each dishes have 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 possibly can see that the portion is relatively beneficiant as effectively. Subsequent, 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 somewhat. Just because 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 rather well with the bread too.
To spherical up the meal, we went with one other crowd favorite – Calvados Souffle ($20)…
Though the Calvados Souffle, at $20, appears to be somewhat pricey, it isn’t. After tasting it, we understood why. It was in all probability the very best souffle we’ve ever tasted. The souffle was actually comfortable and fluffy whereas the gentle eggy-ness and milky style might be skilled with every mouth. Very satisfying. Little marvel that the souffle is printed on the home windows of Bistro Du Vin.
After dinner, we caught Thor (Love & Thunder)…
“You flicked too arduous!” – Russel Crowe was so humorous…😂
