Les Bouchons Rochester – Quality French Cuisine, Steak Frites, Foie Gras and Curated Wines

2 April 20223 April 2022 Gwendolyn

Les Bouchons opens its third Singapore outlet at Rochester Commons, bringing classic French cuisine and quality steaks to the neighbourhood. The restaurant occupies a two-storey bungalow and comprises a rarely seen pétanque court, where diners may immerse themselves in the French sport over an apéritif or two.

Over at Rochester Commons, Le Bouchons boasts a wider menu selection and exclusive dishes compared to its outlets at Ann Siang Hill and Robertson Quay.

New entrees that are worth exploring include the Terrine de Foie-gras “Maison” $26 served with onion chutney and toast, the luxuriously rich French Ceps Soup with Truffle Oil $16 and French Heirloom Beetroot Salad $17 which features three types of beetroot.

Indulge in hearty mains such as the Grilled Beef Wagyu Onglet $58, Grilled Sirloin Wagyu $78 (a magnificent slab of melt-in-the-mouth Japanese Hokkaido Black Wagyu MB +6/7), Grilled Canadian Pork Chop 400g $44, Grilled Lamb Chop with Herbes de Provence $48 and Poulet aux 40 Gousses d’Ail $32 cooked using as many as 40 garlic. The dish features half a chicken, which is rewardingly moist and tender.

The desserts are equally noteworthy – from the must-have Crème Brûlée $13 featuring a well-balanced sweetness touched with hints of orange Curacao to the affordably priced Truffle Brie “Maison” 50g $10 that takes the shape of a cake blessed with a delicious layer of truffle pate. Moreover, the rich and indulgent Double Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream $15 is not to be missed too.

Complete the meal with wine choices of up to 100 labels, including old and new worlds and vintage selections.
