Bistro Petit Salut is the affordable offshoot of the high-end french fine dining restaurant Au Petit Salut. This laidback bistro serves authentic French a la carte dishes and set meals at very friendly price. Last Monday, I brought my girlfriend there for her birthday treat and we tried the 3 course set lunch at $28++.

| Half dozen baked Burgundy snails with tomatoes and garlic butter |
Each course came with six choices and we had a really hard time picking our choice. Then I spotted “Burgundy snails” in the appetizer section. “$28 set lunch and you can get to eat snail? Are you kidding me?” Nope nope, I am not kidding!
These half dozen Burgundy snails are baked with tomatoes and garlic butter. You can’t go wrong with escargots in garlic butter because garlic butter is a winner in whatever occasion. It was really fragrant and the snails are already removed from the shells, so convenient.

| Grilled marinated baby octopus served with couscous salad, basil dressing |
The rich and tender taste of the marinated baby octopus comes with couscous salad. I am not a fan of octopus but I like the couscous salad.
 |
| “Minute” onglet beef with French mustard jus and mashed potato |
It took me some time to decide on the main. To have Braised Pork Shoulder Provencal Style, Chicken Leg Confit or Onglet Beef? Wait, Onglet beef, what’s that? I have no idea but according to google, the Onglet is “the French cut of a Hanger Steak”. So we decided to give that a try and it was succulent and tasty.
 |
| Seafood risotto with light cream emulsion, Parmesan cheese |
The risotto is scrumptious with a rich selection of clams, prawns, squid with light cream emulsion. I am not a fan of creamy stuff, but I love the risotto from Halia so much that I thought I should give this a chance. The dish is quite balanced in flavor with a generous amount of seafood.
 |
| Choux buns with vanilla ice cream, warm chocolate sauce and sliced almonds |
The choux buns is stuffed with vanilla ice cream and topped with choclate sauce and almonds. Eating this always reminds me of the ice cream seller riding a motorbike, selling the ice cream in a bread. I don’t think they make their own choux bun here, which is a pity!
 |
| Chocolate and pear mousse cake, Creme Anglaise |
It is a triple layer mousse cake with a delicate balance of pear mousse.
Overall, I think they serve quite good quality food at a friendly price. I hope my girlfriend enjoyed it as much as I do! They also serve executive set lunch at $38++ 🙂
