A nice quaint French restaurant which serves very tasty food. The lamb was really good!
Chef Nicolas was a delight to watch behind the cooking counter. He personally apologised for the long wait for my lamb as he redid one for me before serving as he felt the first try was overdone! Very personalized service!

Will definitely return again to try their dinner menu and perhaps the Bistro which is 2 doors away.

Au Petit Salut @ Dempsey

After many failed last minute reservations for Saturday nights, we finally managed to make one for Boogie's birthday on a Thursday night!


Au Petit Salut is a solitary colonial house along Dempsey facing Dempsey Road. It has both air-con and al fresco seatings. Being al fresco fans, we made a reservation outdoors. Ambience was great with greenery, tiki lamps and the calming sounds of waterfall.

For appetisers, we had Bisque de homard (Lobster bisque with tarragon and lobster ravioli) [$16] and Terrine de Foie Gras de canard au Sauternes (Terrine of duck Foie Gras infused with Sauternes wine served with mesclun and homemade brioche) [$23]. The soup was thick, tasty and a surprisingly big serving. The attentive waitress noted that both of us were sharing the soup and took intiative to split the soup into 2 servings. Thats service! Now onto the foie gras. We decided to take a deviation from the standard pan fried foie gras and went for the cold terrine foie gras. Creamy with a strong taste of wine, it went very well with the brioche. However, for non adventorous eaters, pan fried foie gras would probably go easier on the palette.

For mains we had, Caille rôtie farçie aux Foie Gras et champignons sauvages (Oven roasted French quail stuffed with duck Foie Gras and wild mushrooms, mashed potatoes and brown jus) [$32] Filet de boeuf pöelé au poivree (200gm) (Pan-roasted beef tenderloin caramelized with white peppercorn, mashed potato and red wine sauce) [$39]. The quail was tender and done pretty well. However, a bit too salty for my liking. The steak was juicy and done to a good wellness.

The total bill came up to $180 for 2 appetisers, 2 mains and half a bottle of wine ($50).

We would recommend this place for the extensive menu, attentive service (including the sommelier) and the relaxed and cosy atmosphere. However for food, Jaan might have been a better choice.
