Bistro Du Vin - Located at Shaw Centre. A casual French dining concept by the Les Amis group of restaurants that houses Canele too. Showing off the daily specials menu that consisted of a 200 day grain fed steak that cost a whopping $130!
Free flow bread and butter. Nothing special? Think again! The Baguette was served warm, crunchy on the outside and super fluffy on the inside! The butter was also just to my liking, soft and smooth but yet not too salty to overpower the sweetness of the bread.
French Onion Soup with croutons & cheese. This is one of the best French onion soup I had so far, probably on par with the one from Mortons Steakhouse. The onions are sweet, the cheese is savoury and the portion is generous too!
Duck Leg Confit with Brussel Sprouts and Mustard sauce. Simply to die for! The duck was crispy on the outside and super succulent on the inside. The best duck confit I had so far. While I'm not sure if I like the Brussel Sprouts, but the mustard sauce was sweet and tangy. A perfect match for the rich and favourful duck.
Catch of the day, King Fish from Italy. The skin was crisp and the fish was fresh. Cooked simply and served with a blanket of stewed capers. What more can you ask for?
Creme Brulee. Simply the best way to finish off the meal. But I wouldn't say everyone would love it but you would if you like the following:
- Warm & crunchy top
- Cool cream custard below
- Custard filled with generous amount of vanilla pod seeds!
It is in fact, quite a light dessert. Pair it off with a cup of Lychee Oolong Tea to wash away the sweetness at the end.
