Hues of the continent in the old Latin Quarters, the ambience and food at Desbue are an inspiration. Space is at a premium in this old house, the overall effect delights. Shades of green beautifully mingle to give an overall calming effect, ideal for a luncheon or dinner. The antique mirrors on the wall, wooden chandeliers, painted chairs and the splash of ‘royal’ green cushions, all exude class! After the complimentary amuse bouche (to whet the appetite) start with the Caprese salad – buffalo mozzarella slices, sandwiched between tomato slices, with the extract of extra virgin olive and balsamic. For mains, one is spoilt for choices – the grilled chicken steak – a herbed steak sitting atop mash potatoes, broccoli, spinach and lemon capers or the Spanish pork ribs in barbecue sauce, pok choi and the potato au gratin. Vegetarians too have a choice – eggplant parmigiana is a hot favourite. Do not forget to order the dessert while you are at this stage – the nutty and fruity chocolate – crispy rolls stuffed with almonds, cashew nuts, raisins and cream. Blend that with a scoop of ice-cream and chocolate sauce.
