This restaurant was packed with PMEBs during lunchtime, not hard to see why with its cozy setting and warm lighting, with a pleasant skylight over the bar area, very conducive for an intimate conversation over good food. Most inviting of all is the set lunch menus - for $22, you get a salad starter and a main that includes choices like shrimp truffle pasta or poached salmon - not too bad for a more "atas" restaurant.

My seared tuna steak (ooooh pink centre) with potato wedges was a $4 top-up, reasonable given that it would've cost as much on its own at most places. Seasoned well with salt & pepper and a citrusy zest from the lemon emulsion - that together with the sauce vierge (mix of chopped tomato and olive oil) gave a refreshing touch.

Overall verdict: good place for a lunch date or meeting if you want to avoid the hustle at Amoy Market.

Extra: for humour, check out #napoleoncelebrities to see the cheeky pictures they created of male celebrity heads photoshopped on French historical aristocrat portraits with wine quotes - quite hilarious 😂
