Bouchon Bistro Français

A very exquisite French shop. The cheese snails are delicious, and the ham is very good. The steak and fries are of a lower quality, but the portion is huge. After eating one meal, you won’t feel hungry even if you go shopping in the mall for an afternoon. It is full of energy.

Bouchon means "home-style bistro" in French. Bouchon Bistro Francais is a French restaurant in the Soho food district. I wanted to book it on Ctrip, but this restaurant does not provide same-day reservations. When I walked to the front of the restaurant, there were few diners. The menu was mainly in French, and my friend could not fully understand it even though he knew French, so he had to give up.

A small French bistro in Soho. I didn't know what to eat on Saturday night, so I just came to Elgin to find one. Bouchon was quite crowded, but there was also a table in Walkin. I ordered a glass of champagne first, which was very full. I was very happy! I ordered half a dozen snails for the appetizer, which tasted good. I usually like to dip bread in the oil from the snail shells. This time the oil was thinner, and the taste was a little worse than the la petite maison I had a few days ago. The second appetizer was Assiette de Foie Gras, foie gras in two ways, Terrine de Foie Gras and Pan fried foie gras with toast and jam. I won't mention the foie gras on the shoulder, which was very delicious. I'm not usually a fan of terrine de foie gras, but the one here was very good, with a dense and delicate taste and a hint of sweetness. I liked it. I also ordered an onion soup, which felt like there was a lot of food, but the soup was a little thin. For the main course, I ordered Bouillabaisse, seafood stew with tiger prawns, clams, sea bass and crab. This stew is really delicious and the ingredients are generous. For the second main course, I also ordered stew, which is braised black angus shoulder with red wine\ bacon\mash. The beef shoulder braised in red wine is served with bacon and mashed potatoes. The soup tastes really good, and the mashed potatoes are also delicious. The beef is a bit too much, and it is a bit monotonous at the end. Winter in Hong Kong has finally arrived. In a small bistro, sitting by the window, eating warm stew and drinking a full glass of champagne, I suddenly thought of the plots in Hemingway's book about getting drunk on the streets of Paris. Sometimes the taste of food does not need to be extreme. On the right day, the beautiful atmosphere is satisfying to the point of being indescribable. I forgot to mention that AMEX has a 10% discount. I don't know which card it is, so please ask it yourself.

Not bad, much better than we expected. The facade is not particularly eye-catching. I saw it by accident and it is not bad after trying it.

Quaint spot with a cute backyard
