Madelaine Bistro - A Taste Of France

Last Saturday nite my hubby and I had a very fabulous dinner at Madelaine Bistro. First I know about Madelaine Bistro was from my friend. Madelaine Bistro located in Kemang, in a very nice building called Kemang-89. Madelaine Bistro is a fine French restaurant, that serve many great French cuisine.

Madelaine Bistro have a very nice ambiance. With retro painting also romantic and comfortable really great place to dine. Not too crowded also.

After we seated, the waiters help us with the menu list. It's a french resto and we a bit un-familier with French cuisine.   

French Bread with Cheese spread - Complimentary

French Bread with Cheese spread was a complimentary from Madelaine Bistro while we wait for the entree come. A smooth french bread with cream cheese. It's quiet nice.

Salade Nicoise 55k

It was really freshening salad. Consisting crisp and fresh romain lettuce, potato, red bean, egg also minute seared tuna and anchovy. All served in a plate was really fresh. The tuna was quite unique, topped with sesame. Love it

Pineapple Sorbet - Complimentary

Again, Madelaine gave us complimentary while we wait for our main course. Pineapple Sorbet quite freshening. Mixed between sweet and sour.

Angus Beef Striploin Stack - 185k

Pan-seared Australian angus beef strip loin stack with mashed potato, artichoke, baby carrot and pour with red wine sauce. Tell the waiters to cook the angus beef striploin with medium rare. Because it make the beef  keep tender and juicy. If it too overcooked, it make the beef a bit chewy and lost it signature. The artichoke and the carrots also still crunchy and fresh. I love the sauce. Not to thick and it made the beef more richer in taste.

Biere Battue Dori Frit - 85k

Deep fried beer-battered dory fish fillet served with potato wedges and mayonnaise. The dory was crisp and tender, but it still a bit fishy. But the potato wedges was nice. Just add with the mayonnaise to less the fishiness.

Warm Cherries Jubilee - 40k

Black cherry flambee served with pumpkin seed tuile and vanilla ice cream and topped with fresh strawberry.  It was so nice when you eat the warm cherries. The tuile really thin and crisp. The vanilla ice cream is the good combination for the sour cherries.

Trio de Gateaux Madelaine - 40k

Assorted flavors of macadamia, raspberry and chocolate Madelaine cake with chocolate and berries sauce. The cake a bit burned outside. The texture also not so smooth. 

Overall, I love Madelaine Bistro so much. I really impressed with the service. The server really helpful.  She really patient explain every single things in the menu even though there already explanation in it. The price is a bit pricey, but I guess it's all worth with what you get. About the place, prepare your camera, trust me, suddenly you became narcissist person ever, Madelaine Bistro have many great spot for taking picture LOL...  but unfortunately, I guess Madelaine Bistro really need to separate between non-smoking and smoking area. Because, although i already asked for non-smoking area, I still can smell the smoke.
