Galvin Bistrot de Luxe
66 Baker Street, London, W1U 7DJ
Last weekend, I was invited by a friend of mine to try a French restaurant called Galvin Bistrot de Luxe on Baker Street managed by the Galvin Brothers.
It's always a bit difficult to be objective about what you eat on a Sunday lunch if you had a a rather late night on Saturday.But I was really looking forward to eat some French food. So I gave it a try with the Fish Soup with its garlic red creamy sauce called "Rouille" and its croutons. The Fish Soup was really one of the best I have eaten in a restaurant. Plenty of flavour and the texture was perfect (in between soup and consommé). Then have indulge myself with a classic - the famous Duck Confit with its salad and mash potatoes. Again , Duck Confit was of good quality and cooked very nicely. Mashed Potatoes was so delicious. Last time I have tasted mashed potatoes like that was at l'Atelier de Robuchon in Paris (the inspiration comes from la Purée Robuchon for sure). Finally, my stomach couldn't handle a dessert so I finished my meal with ice cream sorbets. The meal cost us aroudn £40 per person with a a bottle of red wine. I will come back again to try other dishes. I highly recommend this Bistrot on the evening to taste some inspired French classic courses (have a try at the Calf Liver of Roasted Veal Brains).
