Hotel du Vin & Bistro

Thursday, March 31, 2011 - I went a little off piste and chose a Smoked Haddock Gougere which was feather light and creamy. Enjoyable in a fancy-fish-pie kind of way with beautiful flakes of smoked haddock...You know I love a confit duck, and there was plenty to love about this one along with the fennel gallette. I did find the sauce a touch sweet but it did work well as a dish overall. I was more than happy with the succulent pockets of meat hiding underneath the irresistibly crisp skin...The food prices are just a little higher than mid-range dining in the city yet the quality and service so much more so that really this is good value dining.
