SOHO and LKF restaurant openings seem to arrive in bursts of waves: last time, it was W52, Bistecca, Prego. This time, its Pastis Bistro, Coast Bistro, Bourbon Smokehouse and Posto Pubblico (opening tonight as I pen this review), etc.PASTIS is named after the famous French alcohol, much similar to the equally famed Pernod Fils.

PASTIS is named after the famous French alcohol, much similar to the equally famed Pernod Fils. Operated by 2 French owners, it serves rustic and homely Bistro food and fills in the niche gap in the local market - the kind of unpretentious comfort food to be consumed in a relaxed atmosphere, providing the temporary relief we all need to forget and escape from that reality which looms when lunch time is over again. Running errands as well on this day, their ability to churn out food quickly during lunchtime holds an appeal personally.
*****SET LUNCH MENU - 3 COURSES, $98. 2 COURSES = $88.*****
SPINACH CREAM SOUP -
This looked pretty and evenly green throughout, the spinach flavour was light and enjoyable. The iron gives me stamina! Slightly underseasoned, its a hearty but healthy soup du jour!
PORK LOIN WITH APPLE SAUCE -
Don't expect any pork crackling skin as its two pieces of skinless pan-fried pork dish with a bit of Apple & Gravy sauce. It came with very crunchy Fries, bits of vegies in French Beans and cooked Cherry Tomatoes. Nicely seasoned, the pork meat was sweetish and the dried herb mixture accentuated the dish together with the slightly oxidised apple influence. The pork on the surface appeared somewhat dry and took some effort with the working of my knife, but surprisingly in the mouth it was tender enough and even possessed real fresh pork taste. Not a dish that'll appeal to everyone, but personally I enjoyed it.
CREME CARAMEL -
This was a really good Creme Caramel - soft and not too gelatinised it held its shape perfectly and was very eggy, one of the best ones I've had recently. The caramel top and additional sauce has been tuned to just the right amount of sugary sweetness and paired well with the Vanilla influence apparent in the creme custard. Fresh berries on top with sprig of mint leaf finish the plating beautifully. It really had me swooning over it... This can also be ordered a la carte style for $45.00.
