L'Etranger

Went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago and wish I'd known about it before!

Food was amazing....the "Hamashi Sashimi with Bonito Crisp" was a work of art on the plate and tasted equally as good, whilst my main of caramallised black cod with miso was a melt in the mouth affair.

I was a little dubious about a Japanese-French fusion restaurant but this place certainly pulls it off. Btw...The diners also seem to keep French eating times...we arrived at 8.15pm on a Tuesday evening and the place was fairly empty but it was packed by the time we left at 11pm...so expect to eat alone if you arrive at 7pm!

My only slight negative of this place was the attitude of some of the staff; it's french and it's expensive but sometimes the staff appeared to veer over the line from professional to just plain haughty. Other than that, however, we had a perfect evening.
