Another starter for sharing is the Ventrèche en Tartare ($34), a classic dish at traditional brasseries and bistros that's given a twist. Here, Japanese blue fin tuna belly tartare is used instead. The rich and fatty tartare is complemented seaweed, home-made seaweed mayo and shallots, and served with paper-thin bread chips baked with extra virgin olive oil.

If you're stuck on what to order, go for the La Légine ($52). The highlight of our meal, this dish has a tender Patagonian Toothfish glazed with miso and a sake-mirin reduction and served in a decadent French butter sauce. It's complete with crunchy bites from the feuille de brik (wheat pastry) and poached golden French beetroot seasoned with cinnamon, salt and white wine.
