Some examples off the top of my mind include Salad nicoise, tender braised lamb and profiteroles with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

I've just experienced some simple French bistro food over the last week. J and I went over to Brasserie Wolf. This was one of our much delayed lunches as we have been wanting to try it out.

The food was simple and not bad but it depends on the dishes you order. For me, the experience was overall good. But J did not have the same luck- the potato and leek soup that he ordered was too salty plus, flour was added to it to thicken it up so it lacked the nice creamy and thick texture that the potato would have gladly provided. Also, the tagliatelle with chicken braised in red wine was a disappointment.

Perhaps the disappointment lay in the fact in which the dish turned out less interesting than it sounds. Another reason might be due to the chicken being a little too dry. Well, it's certainly not as bad as I make it out to be as its redeeming quality lies in the well-rounded taste in the braised chicken.

The dishes that I ordered were way better. I don't really have any complaints about them. My starter of pan-seared foie gras was good and it was served with poached peaches and rocket salad. They aren't Gunthers but for the price that I'm paying, I'm satisfied.

For the mains, I wanted something lighter so I ordered the seared white fish fillet with mash. The fish was fresh with the right amount of seasoning. Delightful!

J and I shared the dessert nougat glacé - (nougat-flavored ice cream, a common French bistro dessert) accompanied by raspberries coulis and some berries. Really nice without being overly sweet.
