C'est Bon, 609 Stanley Street, WOOLLOONGABBA QLD 4102
The
other travel bunnie and I recently completed the Insolvency Education
Program provided by the Insolvency Practitioners Association of
Australia. It's really not that awesome, but nonetheless, a
celebration was inevitable.
The
other travel bunnie made a booking at C'est Bon, a dainty French
restaurant located in Woollongabba. I've read too many great things
about their crème brûlée and I couldn't barely keep my mind off it
the night before before I went to bed.
Before
being taken to our table, we were greeted by the lovely hostess with
'bonsoir madame, monsieur'. In contrast to the rainy, wet weather
outside, the restaurant provided a warm, inviting atmosphere. The air
was perfumed with the fresh lilies and the dazzling chandeliers added
a certain touch of je ne sais quoi to
the whole experience.
The
food was superb. The escargots
de Bourgogne (French
snails served with garlic and parsley sauce; $17 for six) and raviole
de fruit de mer
(mixed seafood soufflé encased in pasta sheets, topped with a
lobster cognac sauce ($17) were had for entrées. I absolutely loved
the seafood soufflé and the lobster in cognac sauce was delicious.
I wanted to lick my plate, but I thought that there was a possibility
that I might freak out the couple sitting at the next table.
Our
main meals were just as good. The other travel bunnie had carré
d’agneau
(rack
of lamb, sided with capsicum filled with ratatouille, a thyme and
garlic jus and creamy potatoes puree; $37) and for me, canard
à l’orange (crispy
organic free range duck, twice cooked in the over served with an
orange and Grand Marnier sauce with creamy sweet potatoes and braised
red cabbage; $37).
We
hesitated about having desserts, but the dégustation
de desserts ($32)
seemed way too tempting to resist and I am so glad that we ended up
ordering it. If the dessert degustation is too much, then I would
highly recommend the crème
brûlée ($16). Some say this dessert is big enough for two, but I
am a huge fan of crème
brûlée and I am yet to have seen/eaten one that's too big of a
serving for me.
We
enjoyed the experience at C'est Bon. It was definitely a great
celebration.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $155.
