In all honesty I came to this restaurant with subdued expectations. I had specifically searched online for a restaurant that was 1) in the Earl's Court area where the drop-off point of EasyBus (the airport bus transfer) was and 2) budget. I was not expecting that that combination of search criteria would produce stellar finds of any sort; I had merely desired for a dinner stop before continuing on yet another coach journey.
Hence my experience here proved to be a nice surprise. Lest you think that the positive review I give this place is just a result of the low expectations I came to this place with, I assure you that the quality of the food and the service standards of the restaurant will speak for itself.
Supreme de Volaille 'Farci Duxelloise'
Chicken breast stuffed with mushroom, served with mild Dijon mustard sauce
The chicken was done just right, firm yet still moist. The mushrooms in it were kept juicy as well, and the addition of the sweet mustard sauce was a nice balance to the savouriness of the dish.
The cod fish was cooked to perfection. I really was expecting a thin cod fillet for its price but no, it was a generous, chunky cod fillet. More importantly, one could tell from the texture of the meat that it was a fresh catch.
Cod A'la Provencale
Pan fried cod fillet cooked with butter, garlic and served with fresh tarragon
Pure honest to goodness food, and might even leave you feeling in bliss after a long and tiring day, if I might add.
The food here is of good value; a starter, a main and a dessert set is priced at 9.95gbp. Although each diner is required to order a drink for that offer to be valid (it eventually worked out to about 13.50gbp per person in my case), this is still a place I find worth visiting. French/ Western fare in a cosy and casual environment.
