LA FLEUR DE SEL

A serial disappointment.

I would have rated this as a 3/5, but my dining partner has advocated for clemency bc they had a good experience. Their experience was a 4/5, mine was a raw 3/5.

I made a mistake in the beginning, and honestly this one is my fault, but there is a dish on their menu that prominently mentions asparagus and honestly I got a plate full of trout lol, but this is seriously my fault because I didn’t understand what gravlax was, if you are reading this expect a plate of cold fish over a cold white panna cotta. So this one’s on me but I expected asparagus, and I didn’t taste any.

NOW, onto the actual review.

I got the beef dish for my main, asked for medium rare. I would say my beef was well done. This plate should never have left the kitchen. It was pre cut, so they knew what doneness was going to the table. I’m pretty strict on beef dishes, especially ones where you can see if something is overcooked in the kitchen before it goes to the customer. This dish has potential, but the beef was under seasoned. I chose to eat the overcooked beef cause I felt bad, but I let them know it was overcooked. The server or the chef should have caught this.

The last dish I got almost looked like a jellyfish (check the attached image). It was just honestly just … strange. It was strawberry and rhubarb, under a gelatinous layer, and light cream on top. It was honestly.. watery and difficult to eat because it was just sliding around the plate. Idk if the chef actually tries to eat what they create, cause if so i would think this particular dish needs to be adjusted. Flavor was fine, but it was just kinda … gross. Wet, watery, cold, and difficult to eat.

At the very end I ordered a cappuccino, and man this was the cherry on the top of my evening. Pretty sure they poured drip coffee into a cup and added milk.

Overall, a disappointing evening with frankly avoidable issues that kinda spoiled it. The folks there were friendly enough, our server did a fine job.

Une excellente table, accueil chaleureux, cuisine de haut niveau, un régal.

Que du bonheur et que du plaisir.Des plats remarquables avec des produits de qualités.Un service et un acceuil impeccables.Que dire à part un grand merci pour ce moment culinaire.

Repas pris en famille. Portions très gourmandes et plats élégamment présentées.
J'ai beaucoup aimé le saumon gravelax et le poisson en plat principal. Un de les frères a pris la pièce de bœuf qui était excellente et parfaitement cuite.
