When it comes to old world charm and turn of the century opulence, nobody does it quite like the St Regis. And nothing harkens to the good old days of the big city hotel like a magnificent French restaurant. Brasserie Les Saveurs is the resident restaurant of the St Regis and is a stunning chamber festooned with gold trim, velvet drapes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a beautiful crystal chandelier bearing witness to the intimate goings-on below. Expect nothing less than the most traditional and time-honoured of French plates. Kick off with some bubbly and oysters from its raw bar, a selection of different regional oysters from around the world, served with tart vinaigrette. Follow that up with one of its elegant entrees, like a notoriously tricky to prepare Foie Gras Au Torchon, a roll of foie gras coated with pistachios and apricots, and served with brioche. Or a plate of vivid Red Beetroot Gnocchi, tender little mounds served with nutty browned butter, black truffle, macadamia nut, and a foam of goat’s cheese.

And that’s just the entrees! The mains here are a selection of the finest regional plates from France. Think a beautiful cocotte of Seafood Bouillabaisse, filled with tantalizing seafood like monkfish, scallop, mussels, and prawn, perfumed with aromatic fennel, and served with a fiery rouille of garlic and peppers. Nothing gets more traditionally French than a delicate Whole Dover Sole Meuniere, one of the great classics of the repertoire, the creamy-fleshed sole browned in butter before being blanketed in a tart lemon-butter sauce, coated with piquant capers and haricots verts. Red meat here comes in the form of rack of lamb, herb-crusted and served on a bed of heady morels and a Provençal corn galette, as well as an Oven-Roasted Breast of Duck, served “à l’Orange” over a bed of sweet turnips. For a super premium dinner, choose from an entire menu of various aged wagyu steaks, prepared in the classic French style with lots of butter, herbs, and a serving of potatoes. If you’ve got room for dessert, zoom in for the Chocolat “Millefeuille,” an indulgent confection that explodes in your mouth with a range of textures and an unbeatable bittersweet finish. If you’re going to go French, indulge a little and go the whole mile at this old world charmer. (Jan 2018)
