Standing ovations tend to be reserved for rockstars and actors, but
restaurant Les
400 Coups offered creative cuisine rating a rousing round of
applause.
We started by savouring a flavourful and firm seared scallop served with
ratte potatoes, eel and tangy black squid ink mayonnaise ($14), and then
forked into our main of melting flakes of gooseberry cod with rock
shrimp and oyster mushrooms floating in a divine dashi broth ($27). For
the grand finale, we chose the Green dessert off pastry chef Patrice
Demers inspiring list. Light and refreshing with crisp apples covered in
creamy white chocolate yogourt, and topped with pistachio, olive oil,
and coriander, this sweet treat brought the dining room to its feet.
Literally.
