*An interesting use of Foie Gras to add a depth of richness to the dish. There isn't a lot of Linguini, but its a pretty large serving with all ingredients in. Not my favorite of the two but interesting. The cream sauce isn't heavy and portion just nice.*
Mussels Provencale 18.90Euro
Tomatoes, garlic, mixed herbes, black olives and olive oil, with white wine and creme fraiche.
Decent mussels and amazing soup/sauce. That was a clear favorite for myself. Worth to try the other flavors available and the serving portions are respectable. Its probably more delicate and a step up or different from Occidental in Auckland which features the huge green lip mussels.

*Loving this dish. The mussels are well cleaned, fresh and sweet. Don't be fooled by the serving, size. It is pretty filling and this soup/sauce is to die for. The bowl was lapped clean with the help of table side french loafs. The fries aren't much to scream about but a starch filler to the amazing plump mussels.*

*Set
meals, though limited in choice are more bang for your buck with a
dessert that comes with. Ordered the mustard mussels which has a very slight depth of heat. Its good but the preference
still goes to the Tomato Garlic mix.*

From Wikipedia. Angelina is a famous tea house located at 226 Rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Angelina is known primarily for its almost pudding-like hot chocolate and for its Mont Blanc dessert. (Of which we had neither. We went for whatever the front of house staff's suggestions.)

*The pastries don't come cheap with each going for about 6eruos and up.
Pictured left is a coffee pastry whose complexities in moose, strong flavors and textures are just mind boggling. Pictured right, the thickest/richest vanilla cream puff pastry had. A very different expectation of what Vanilla Cream.

The desserts were probably best had there but seating is next to impossible.
Its a glimpse of the power of French pastry and their mastery of the desserts really. Another great joint for bakers/pastry artistry is Mr Holme's Bake House in SFO for theri Cruffins.*

As googled, a cozy joint offering simple classic french fair. Affordable prices and its nice that its located along a food/market street offering fresh produce, freshly to-take away oysters at around 12Euros for a dozen (You can choose the oysters from different regions) and much more.
*Take away half dozen oysters that are to go and from harvested from two different regions*

Beer and free serving of Home made Chips
Bone Marrow with Toast 9.8Euros
*This I felt was an absolute bargain and to die for. Its rarely seen and you get three half bone marrows. They go amazingly well with a small sprinkling of salt and toast!*
Lamb Shank "Confit" with mashed potatoes 20.9Euros
*The lamb shank is very well cooked and served with their velvety and well seasoned mash potatoes. It could do with a little more sauce but the portion is large and probably can be shared with another with an additional appetizer order*
Steamed Salmon Steak, shellfish sauce and linguini pasta 19.8Euros
*Though good, this dish fell short of expectation and needed seasoning. I was intrigued by the shellfish sauce, but essentially it was a little shellfish in a light cream sauce. The salmon was a tad over cooked. An alright dish.*

The bone marrow was the star here! Honestly with two mains and a starter, it was a bit too much of an order. If just two people, a main and a starter would be about right, or stick to a main each. The waiter tending to us knew their menu well and was very tentative.
