A classic destination for the tradition of bistro style steaks and the ever important French fry, Les Bouchons Rive Gauche is certain to become your next go-to steakhouse.

The look of Les Bouchons defies any whim of trendiness and sticks to the standards of bistro design: curvy backed chairs and white tablecloths simply dressed with the essential fork, steak knife, burgundy napkin, and wine glass, sit upon tiled floors both inside and out on the charming patio. The shophouse locale fits the look, transporting the restaurant to a simpler time and slowed down pace in small town France. And with the upcoming selection of to-die-for steaks and free flow fries, you'll be glad to feel the minutes slipping by at their leisure.

Start with the Os A Moelle, or beef bone marrow served with crisp toasts. The meaty butter-like spread is indulgently delicious, and an ideal primer to the protein heavy meal. The mains are simply stated, and all come with sides of salad and endless frites. The Grilled Sirloin Steak with Herbs is a particular star as is "The Real Entrecote" from Normandy, which is best to be shared among pairs. The steaks are clearly of premium quality and cooked to rosy pink perfection with a caramelised char on the outside. The accompanying fries are of medium thickness with fluffed centers and crisped coatings, ideal for dipping into the classic sauces of mustards, bernaise, mayonnaise and horseradish.

However, the steak haven is no one-trick pony. On the weekends, the talented kitchen pulls out all the stops with the Couscous Royal, a tempting platter of marinated and grilled lamb, chicken and Merguez sausage upon a flavored bed of couscous. Or else try the Jumbo Prawn, kissed by the grill and drizzled with olive oil to bring out the natural sweetness of the crustacean. The dish is another reminder from Les Bouchons Rive Gauche that French cooking needs only the very basics to be done well. (Dec 2018)
