Like its sister restaurant Madam Sixty Ate in Wanchai, Madam S'ate offers a wide variety of French inspired dishes in a chic bistro-style setting.
During Restaurant week, every participating restaurant will submit a pre-fixe menu consisting of their most sought after signature dishes. At Madam S'ate, their 3-course lunch set is reasonably priced at $248.
Our first starter was a classic French onion soup straight from the oven. The onion taste was so rich! The only blemish was the shortage of soup and a little too much onion (5/10).
Then we had a beautifully presented smoked salmon tartine with capers, dill and radish (6.5/10).
Roasted barramundi with white onion puree, artichokes and tapenade was next. I liked the texture of the barramundi but thought the poached artichokes and onion puree were even better (5/10).
Our second main course was a glazed beef cheek, roasted beets, pickled onions and mustard. From the color of the beef cheek, it looked as if it's been charcoal grilled.
The beef cheek was very tender with the roasted beetroot and pickled onion working well as a balance to the richness of the meat (5.5/10).
I had mixed feeling with the two desserts. The first one, a cherry profiterole with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate was a little boring (4/10).
More successful was this one with winter berries, crème fraiche, pistachio sablee and French meringue. Very refreshing and not too sweet at all (6/10).
This was one of my better experience with Restaurant Week. All the dishes were of a consistent level.
