This restaurant is really popular and after we left around 830pm, a second round of customers were coming in.We ordered the full menu to try all their items.This is the first time I tried cereal sourdough which had an earthy taste and the smoked butter was an excellent touch. There were two kinds of spread for the next dish. The black pudding was my friends favourite though I liked the shrimp tartar a bit more as I like lighter flavours.The tuna confit with the deep fried base was rich and the contrast of temperatures was fun.The dish has two different kinds of sweetness from the gambero and beetroot which complemented each other.The escargot tart was larger than I thought and the flavors of the figs reminded me of the fall.Instead of just orange, they chose clementine instead which gave a more delicate citrus flavor leaning towards the sweeter side while enjoying the succulent sea bass.Next is their signature, the pigeon. The sauce flavor was just right without being too rich and the stuffings inside the mushroom was amazing.I love again how they took the cheese dish and turned it into their own by serving it was a fried dumpling. They also added kumquat on top which further made the dish taste less heavy.I was surprised how they incorporated celeriac into the dessert. The rich and sweet hazelnut was balanced out by this refreshing addition as well as lime, leaving you wanting seconds.They change their menu quite frequently and looking forward to their next menu.…查看更多
I love Racines, will for sure come back for the next special occasion. A very small cozy place in Central with open kitchen plus a touch of Southern France. My favourites are Liver Onion Jam Beef Tartare (Amuse-bouches), Sourdough with smoked butter and jam, Pigeon, Threadfin, Madeline and Chocolate. Price includes set dinner menu plus wine. Romain and his crew made Racines special.
