de la Vigne à l'assiette

Tucked away on the the less trendy side of Avenue Louise is a very pleasant (if slightly pricey) restaurant de quartier, serving french food together with a long wine list (take advice from waiter, Sommelier of year 1995, as the quality varies).

The dishes were all very attractively and carefully prepared.  The mouselline on the asparagus and scampi was light and flavoursome, and the quenelles of grey prawns and mushrooms served with coulis of parsely made for a particularly interesting combination of tastes.

The main courses - veal cutlets, cooked pink, served with a light jus aux morilles - salmon with foie gras soup! (unexpected but delicious) -  saint pierre...  All the dishes were generously decked with a fine selection of baby vegetables.
