Au Petit Salut - Good value for money set lunch menu


By CookEatDrinkTravel (Visit website)



Having worked hard over the past few weeks, I felt like pampering myself with a good meal and remembered a friend telling me about Au Petit Salut & the set lunch menu being good value for money. Decided to go there for lunch with fellow foodie.

Parking was no problem. There is a private car park with ample parking space.

When we entered, a friendly waitress approached us and asked if we had reservations. We did not. No matter, ever so pleasant, she showed us to a table next to the restaurant's water feature. Most tables inside the restaurant were occupied. Then, she proceeded to ask if was wanted bottled water, sparkling water or iced water. We were happy to have been given the choice of iced water and opted for it. We were also served a basked of baguette and a plate of butter.

We chose their set lunch, which is reputed to be value for money. I had baked burgundy snails with tomato and garlic butter as appetizer. The garlic butter was very tasty and I didn't want to waste any of it. So I used the bread to soak it. Fellow foodie had the greek salad, which was light and refreshing.

For main course, I ordered braised beef cheek, which was very tender and full of flavor. Fellow foodie ordered sauteed chicken in vinegar. (Poulet au vinaigre) which was fall off the bone tender, rich and piquant at the same time, served on a bed of creamy polenta .. the perfect comfort food.

For dessert, I had the choux buns while fellow foodie had the fresh cherries and almond tart. The tart was accompanied by the most wonderful blackcurrant sorbet I have ever tasted. Deep ruby red, sweet yet tart.. makes my hair stand just to think of it. Bursting with fruit, deliciously cold. The choux buns must've been a hot favourite as well, judging by the number of plates that came out of the kitchen.

We ended the wonderful meal with a cup of Illy coffee. I must add that the service was attentive (folding our napkins when one of us went to the restroom), topping up water.. we were'nt even the best dressed or poshest looking people that day. Highly recommend this place for a great weekday lunch.
