Bouchon Bistro would have to be the best French restaurant in Perth my friend and I have visited thus far. We found the dishes to be solid without being spectacular and held their own in terms of flavour. Unlike other French restaurants we’ve visited, the dessert hasn’t been the only highlight. I loved the pre-starter beef neck which was ultra tender, the pork terrine was a first time experience but I loved the parsley and mustard “cake”, the tender juicy moist spatchcock breast was delicious, the potato gratin was also tasty, and that delicious array of desserts on one plate to finish to the meal was superb. Having said that, the French bistro L’Angelus in Singapore I’ve visited on both trips there blow Bouchon Bistro out of the water. There is quite a difference to what I ate their and at Bouchon. In terms of price, Bouchon is very pricey and only due to the Dimmi 50% off the food bill did it make the dinner a bargain. L’Angelus would have charged similar prices when converted into Aussie dollars but quality wise, was worth every cent. . . . → Read More: Bouchon Bistro – 8 May 2013
I didn’t care much for the tarte du jour but the jools was fantastic! I absolutely loved the strawberry mousse center which was light and airy and full of flavour. It was a lovely late afternoon snack. . . . → Read More: Choux Cafe – 21 Dec 2012
Walking into the neat and carefully presented restaurant with dim lighting creates a lovely atmosphere to enjoy a quiet dinner. The service was professional, efficient and excellent. On the food front, however, it disappointed. While the meals are expensive, the 2 or 3 course options are good value. My duck was enjoyable with the sweet and acidic flavour of the cabbage, but when the side of creamy soft mash with delicious seasoning of herbs steals the show from the star of the dish, you know they haven’t executed the dish as well as intended. It was a very underwhelming dish lacking any punch with the exception of the potato. I didn’t detect any pancetta or oxtail unless I missed it. I liked the cabbage but it’s sweetness became a bit intense towards the end of the meal. The small bite of my friend’s steak was disappointing – lacking flavour, seasoning, taste and was chewy. One expects better from a fine dining type establishment. On the dessert front, the small taste I had of the white chocolate and ginger cheesecake was heaven! Stunning dessert with excellent texture, melt in your mouth goodness and flavour. My bitter chocolate cake possessed a strong and intense denseness and brooding dark chocolate flavour. It’s a great way to finish off a meal but a smaller quantity is required for the strong in your face flavour. It becomes a struggle to finish off. All in all a lovely night, but a disappointing dinner which drained the hip pocket including the surcharge on the credit card. Not the best representation of French cuisine. . . . → Read More: Bistro Felix – 18 Dec 2012
I enjoyed the different dishes sampled over the course of the evening. I was glad to try snails and it wasn’t anything revolting, quite standard actually. The combination of escargot with potato, garlic, bacon and parsley was superb. The main meal was solid without being spectacular. Tasty, great flavours, but I thought it could have delivered more. I really enjoyed the creme anglaise with the caramel sauce and that taste of creme brulee was amazing! I thought the mains were a little overpriced for what was delivered but was reasonably priced otherwise and service was satisfactory. It’s a lovely setting to enjoy a quiet dinner, particularly if you were on a date or a quiet special occasion. . . . → Read More: La Brasserie De Paris – 18 Sep 2012
Visited here for breakfast and enjoyed the raspberry dream, a sweet crepe, which was enjoyable but didn’t wow. I also took home a selection of various pastries which were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Frasier and the choux cream but didn’t like the Opera Cake. There is a large range of pastries to choose from and a nice array of breakfast items apart from other savoury items like quiches and baguettes. I think the patisserie is very good but ranks behind the other patisseries I’ve visited thus far. . . . → Read More: La Galette de France Kalamunda – 12 Aug 2012
The pastry in all items were delicious. Light and soft. While the pastries were enjoyable, I felt they didn’t quite hit the mark of other pastries I have eaten at other patisseries. I particularly enjoyed the blueberry slice and the quiche was an absolute standout. I could have easily kept on easting more. One slice just wasn’t enough. . . . → Read More: Choux Cafe – 23 Dec 2011
I thoroughly enjoyed my second visit here. I opted for the tender duck breast in a lovely red sauce which also came with an extremely delicious dish of potato gratin. My creme brulee lived up to all expectations and I savoured each spoonful. My travelling companions also throughly enjoyed their meals and desserts. Pricey, but worth every cent in value, taste, and experience. The serves are generous. A must dining experience. . . . → Read More: Singapore II – L’Angelus
For me, the Gateau Passionfruit was the highlight with the Gateau Chocolate a distant second but still very delicious. I also particularly enjoyed the spinach, feta and tomato quiche. This is the third patisserie I’ve visited apart from Scents Of Taste and Jean Pierre Sancho. Each has their own style and range of items but I would prefer the latter two over Le Croissant Du Moulin on a value basis. Price would be the only differentiating factor as the quality across all three is high and the taste delicious. If you’re close by, then I’d certainly recommend a visit as you won’t be disappointed. Cash only. . . . → Read More: Le Croissant Du Moulin
This place takes the top spot for the best food experience I’ve ever encountered. My main meal was fantastic and the dessert topped things off. Fortunately, I got to eat a reasonable portion of my cousin’s creme brullee which was absolutely amazing. He too thoroughly enjoyed his mains, wine, and dessert. Look past the price tag, this place is a must try. At least come in for the creme brullee. Please! . . . → Read More: Singapore – L’Angelus
