Presqu'île

What’s a wonderful dining! A good experience dinner with full course is amazing every dish is good but a service and atmosphere more impress me!

There is a risk, when cooking (or eating) exquisitely subtle and refined French food, that all of that exquisiteness and subtlety can blend into a meal that is somehow unmemorable - too refined, too subtle to stick in the mind. Presquile avoids that trap with elan. This is world-class French food with a fine Japanese sensibility. Standouts? The delicate buri tartare starter with bamboo; that meaty foie gras with a poached disc of daikon; the deeply flavoured lobster and oyster ragout; a single pure-flavoured rum baba pre-dessert; and the “just odd enough that it’s delightful” mille-feuilles of strawberry, mascarpone and cabbage (with (to all appearances) dried cabbage in place of the pastry), with cabbage ice cream. An out of left-field idea done beautifully. Add in a gorgeous room, a generously laden cheese cart, and an extravagant array of mignardises, and it all adds up to a truly memorable meal.

Poor and slow service with staff who would not explain anything to us in English nor French. The Wagyu beef came cold and as a result it hardened inside so it was difficult to cut and was chewy. We almost had to beg for bread. Almost no advice when it came to wine. I guess they expect you to go for the pairing option. Very poor choice of house Champagne for the aperitif, which is to be drunk on its own, I guess they don’t know the meaning of amuse bouche?

French cuisine with selceted quality ingredient

Very nice fine dining experience with professional waiting staff. Food was amazing and they would amend the menu to replace ingredients that I don't like.

Lovely time here. Very elegant.

Ok.

Totally love it. Delicious food and relaxing atmosphere.
