 This was the day we were supposed to go to Esquina, but it was closed, so we decided to head to Balzac instead. Executive Chef Jean-Charles Dubois is its brain child and proudly serves up a classic taste of home, drawing inspiration from his own family’s recipes.

We found the eatery to be quiet, relaxing and extremely accessible. The staff very friendly & cheerful.

Table set up & menu

 

A bottle of white to unwind after a stressful week.

  

Here comes our starters. Fresh oysters !

 

 

 

Cheese and walnuts always pair beautifully

 

Escargots

  

Scallops are my favourite !

 

My main of the day - cod & bacon with bean base soup. Tastes so so so so good ! Especially the gravy ! You don't want to waste any single drop and surely wanna savour every drop.

For guys, the chef recommended - beef cheek ! It was very tender.

And more food for guys: angus steak - awesome sized portions

Nicole chose duck confit !


Desserts
Jeff ordered 5 out of 6 options on the menu. That's insane. Our stomaches were about to burst !
 

 Créme Brulee 

  Lemon tart with meringue snow! Taste super refreshing.

 Apple Crumble! 

Hot dessert - Rice Pudding with cameral sauce + toasted pistachios

Hot chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream

Yet another happy outing with Tian Xiang, Nicole, Jeff and Bob.
