Bouchon(Bombay Duck)

6-3-2014

Headed to Bouchon to taste some yummy food. Good reviews aboutBombay Duck And my inquisitive nature to try it.

Indian Crepes 
Pancakes stuffed with vegetable and dipped in some curry( related it to masala dosa with sambar)
I tried to appreciate the food better but having no prior experience in how an authentic one tastes, I really cannot comment on this one.

Chicken Indian Style 
2 pieces of chicken from the breast region and rice with nuts and dry fruits. The chicken marinated and then grilled, served with mustard sauce. It tasted best with the sauce while the marinade was not enough to carry the taste all by itself. The rice was almost similar to the sweet rice made at home except for the sweetness and the coconut flakes. 
Good combination though.

Pepperoncini
It consisted of cherry tomatoes which were not red in colour. Bell peppers, tomatoes. This is not a place recommended for pizzas. 500 for a pizza like this not worth it.
 Try other dishes, if not a pizza.

Service 
The waiter was hovering around us as we were the only ones eating here. So we got his undivided attention. 
During the feedback, we mentioned that we couldn't appreciate the cuisine and the waiter replied, probably because it's French.

But when one adds Indian in the name then shouldn't the taste suit our Indian palates And when they don't there are just 2 options left 
1. How Indianised was the food? 
2. And did the chef do any justice to the dish?(Indo-French cuisine) 

Since I have no experience in French food I really cannot comment on those questions I have raised.


Service- 5
Ambiance- 4
