Reviews
Le Jardinier is definitely a must try!
Nice and quiet atmosphere.
Great service.
Food is delicious and fresh!
One of my favorite things was the bread basket, their bread is something very special! High level of baked goods!! The small bread with the spinach flour was unbelievable.
Can’t wait to come back !!
Decor nicely to see Lex but not from outside.
Uniform leafy insignia for butter, menu.
Outdated tablet likely better without.
Taking advantage of restaurant week.
Leek impressive. Sashimi bit sourish. So was foam refresher.
Portion nice for tendered beef with mashed potato.
Both dessert nice crisps combo.
Overall elegant. Nano fandom.
The starters are so refreshing and well-balanced.☺️
The salmon is cooked medium and tastes great.
The beef cheeks are a little bit too salty.
Desserts are a little bit too sweet.
The cappuccino has a bitter taste but pairs well with sweet treats.
Overall enjoyable.
The items we selected from the menu:
STARTERS
BURRATA, Honeycrisp apple, black mission fig, pecan gremolata – I found this a little boring in comparison to other items on the menu, but mainly because I was comparing to the pork belly.
POITRINE DE PORC GLACÉE, Pork belly, kohlrabi, calamansi vinaigrette, green grapes, hazelnuts – This was lovely, though I kind of wish it had some crackling on top, but it still had a very crunchy outer texture which I like.
MID-COURSE
RICOTTA AGNOLOTTI, koginut squash, beurre noisette, whey foam, pain d’epice – This was really yummy!
POULPE GRILLÉ, Spanish octopus, pumpkin seed romesco, lentils, purple cabbage – Always like octopus and this was cooked to near perfection.
ENTRÉES
FLÉTAN DE L’ATLANTIQUE, Halibut, marinated courgettes, Thai basil, lemongrass emulsion – The fish was cooked perfectly.
MAGRET DE CANARD AUX ÉPICES, Hudson Valley duck, plums, arugula & yuzu coulis, marcona almond – Always like duck and it was good, but my preference is for super crispy skin, not a fan of soft duck skin.
DESSERTS
SABAYON CARAMEL, White chocolate ice cream, cocoa nibs, Valrhona guanaja chocolate – the presentation of this was absolutely exquisite and very nice to eat!
AUTUMN MILLE-FEUILLE, Puff pastry, pumpkin cheesecake mousse, maple ice cream – An interesting take on a mille-feuille, rather than multiple laminated wafers this was constructed with just one wafer as the base. But still very yummy.
BIRTHDAY cake – The restaurant kindly provided this as a freebie, I think it was a coconut mousse. In some respects I think this was actually my favourite of the 3 desserts.
Something to note was that they had a selection of 3 different breads. The spinach bread puff and mini French baguette were lovely. The breads sticks were a little too hard, but still nice too munch on! At least the restaurant is providing a selection of breads, which is more than can be said for most restaurants these days, even the high-end ones. We still miss Bouley and the huge selection of wonderful breads that were served at his restaurants.
There’s a small selection of mocktails, the FALL FIZZ didn’t have that much flavour but the second mocktail I had, the Nagranni, was better.
The dining space design is very elegant, mostly hard stone surfaces with foliage scattered strategically around. By the time we left the restaurant it was about half full and the noise level had increased, but still easy enough to talk quietly to one another, though I expect it could get quite loud if it was full. I’d also recommend you get one of the banquette tables, which are around the edge of the dining room. It’s cosy and provides a little privacy as well. Because the restaurant was half full almost everyone was seated at one of them unless they were more than 4 people or dining alone.
The service was also excellent, warm and efficient from all the staff we encountered. Which is quite an accomplishment as it can be quite variable for most restaurants.
Definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for an elevated dining experience.
The staff were all very fun and sweet and had a great sense of humor
The cute autumn inspired food items was the cherry on top.
I look forward to going again and exploring more of this amazing restaurant, and trying more yummy desserts before fall is over!
