The exterior doesn't scream 'COME IN' but once you step into this little humble abode, some sort of magical Narnia feeling starts to grow. I sound weird right now but I SWEAR something like this happens.
Anyhow, it is a small little place with an extremely fine decor having the core room being the 'STAR room'. This room fits around 8 tables and is showered by such calm flowers which have bloomed from beautiful branches. These trees if I may call them that, have been positioned in such a way that from when you approach the room till when you actually step into the room, you would have a framed view of the most beautiful interior scene ever. There is true light shining through the glass room above which just adds to the already elaborated yet natural effect. Its like dining in a secret forest with beautiful trees just above your head but also inside a big house. You would think the massive fireplace would be out of context but it probably joins the restaurant scene to the intended decor scene. Absolutely stunning.
The food is yet another magical thing. Everything which we ate was so incredible, it made us stop talking and just think about what we had in our unworthy mouths. I started off with the foie gras followed by lamb and then an apple gratin dessert. Nothing, even the simple seasoned vegetables was delicious. I had nothing to complain about, so compliments to the chef! Actually maybe if I had to complain about something then the service may have been rather uptight (not saying just because everyone working there was French)-maybe because we were the only Asians there? Who knows. I am a sucker for dessert wine and once I saw Riesling on their menu, I had to try it. So I did. And surprise surprise, I loved it. It came from S.America and was just perfect to accompany my meal. It may be abit too sweet for most people but I have a major sweet touch and thought it went AMAZINGLY well with the lamb and foie gras let alone the dessert. Each dish was presented well, extra care was taken with the decors and nothing was over or under cooked. It was one of those kind of rare food places where you encounter feelings once the food enters the mouth. No, I am not crazy.
Either how, the bill came to roughly a hundred quid for the two of us which I say is EXTREMELY cheap and decent for French food here in London. Theres nothing to it, it really was just marvellous and you won't believe me until you try it.
Please forgive me if my photos don't live up to what I have rattled on about. =)
I will definitely go back to take more photos next time !!!
