Enjoyable meal and very friendly service, although portion sizes were smaller than we expected.
We started with the slow-cooked duck egg, which was perfectly cooked and nicely done. For our mains, we went for the Rohan Farm Duck and also a single serving of the Brune Landaise (quarter chicken) just so we could try some of the chicken too. The birds were not the most tender/juicy that I've had, but they were nicely flavored, and the jus on the side was great. We were told the duck is a good portion size for 3 people, but our party of 2 pretty much cleaned it all up, along with the quarter chicken. Unfortunately they don't include the duck legs and use it to make duck confit for their lunch menu. For the price, I would've loved to get some duck confit, or to at least have the duck legs to complete the duck.
For dessert, the standout item was the I'Ile Flottante, which is a soft meringue. It's beautifully plated, and I don't typically like meringue, but hats off to this one. The profiteroles were good but less special for me, despite being a chocolate lover. The profiteroles themselves were fine (2 chocolate ice cream, 2 chocolate coulis), but the best part of this dessert for me wasn't the profiteroles but the almond and hazelnut praline at the bottom.
