βBest value French
restaurant in town,β says my foodie girlfriend. βSexy, cosy, homey,β smiles my
neighbourβs aunty. βHealthy, organic and plain old yummy,β declares my business
buddy when they tell me about CafΓ© Croisette, a French cafΓ© hidden in a residential
building not far from Bangsar Shopping Centre. French Chef Pierre is the man
behind the food and local Michelle is the woman (true to her gender) who takes
care of everything else.

Cutting costs by locating themselves
in a condominium as opposed to an expensive piece of commercial property, the
rumour is that the savings they make through a lower rental in this location
are passed onto their customers. With their current business lunch promotion it
seems that this just might be one rumour that has more truth to it than
fallacy.

| Chocolate Banana Pudding |
Tuesday to Friday from 11:45amβ
2:00pm guests can fill their tummies with a choice of one of three starters, one
of three mains, one of three desserts and a bottle of water for RM30 nett. We
tested out a number of these dishes and were blown away by some and quietly
satisfied by others. The knockouts of our trial session are as follows.

Of the starters donβt miss
the soups. Both the Pumpkin and the Du Barry (cauliflower) versions are rich
and creamy. The Rotissaladiere is also a must. If it doesnβt on appear on the
set menu for that day it is worth ordering on its own. The Malaysian version of
this Southern French classic is based with roti canai giving a light flaky
pastry foundation for the savoury onion, olive and anchovy topping. This interpretation
is known as a βwhiteβ pizza for its lack of tomato sauce. A fusion type, however,
can be found on the regular menu in the form of a Margarita with tomato, pesto
and cheese.

| Passion Indulgence Slice |
The principle plates are all
valued at around RM30 if you order directly from the menu, yet the portions
remain the same as part of this excellent value for money lunch set. The Chicken
Breast with Mushrooms is one of the most succulent Iβve sampled. The Ducky
Patty with Beans like a Cassoulet more than pleased the French and English (who
has fond memories of family summer vacations in the south of France) diners at
our table and the Seabass Leeks Fondue was just as much of a hit.

You might have to visit
everyday to sample the desserts. Of the set menu the Sables duo Mousses & Morello, Sable Assorted Fruits Patissiere and Passion Indulgence Slice were
scooped up in seconds. Also on the regular menu though is the Chocolate Orange
Parfait, Blood Orange Chocolate Cake and,
the Triple Choc Mousse which justify a visit in themselves.

| Reasonably Price Wine |
The price of wine is quite
salient in a post on Croisette Cafe. The exact same bottles found just down the
road in eateries in commercial centres selling for well over RM100, are
available from RM60 in Croisette CafΓ©. A
glass begins at RM12.

Right, I'm gonna go here as soon as I have a free day.
Oohh, yes – you could probably order a three course menu desserts! π
Ooooo…that's nice. RM30 nett pretty reasonable. Bangsar eh? High class area, all the rich people… You live around there? Wink! Wink!
Yes, it's a great deal for this quality of French food.
Looks like a place I have to take my Quay Lo to. Thanks for the heads up. You take gorgeous photos my dear.
Thanks! Yes, it would be a great spot to take your Quay Lo π
I love this place… French food with a homey touch and so affordable!
Yes, it's wonder you can get a table here at lunch time – for the quality of food and price.
the ducky patties looks nice…
That dish in particular was a huge hit with my French and English dining buddies.
You win the photography prizes this time foodie pal π Just looking at the duck patty makes me itch to go back!
Slowly getting better. π
It's just around from your office so I'm sure you'll be in for that duck patty soon – if you haven't already!
peach melba! located within a condo? i try to google out the place. i have yet to go to midi 57 as it looks rather far from any taxi point. need to put my sneaks on and walk w my man π
This one is a short walk up the hill from BSC so you'll be able to get there easily.
Whoaaa…this looks like a place worth dashing out the office and driving across town to get to! =D
Lucky people who live nearby. There's nothing like this near my office. If there were I'm sure it would make a killing. I wonder if we could convince them to deliver? π
.thanks for sharing
