Classic French haute cuisine isn’t that common in Singapore these days, but @langelus.sg has withstood the test of time, dishing up authentic & fantastic French fare since 1998. How authentic is L’Angelus, you ask? Well, for starters, we had Escargots ($23.50++) served in little individual pots, and Foie Gras Poêlé ($26.50++ for 60 grams).⠀

Seeing the escargots served in little pots individually was a curiosity to me, as I am used to seeing them served in their shells or in those dimpled serving dishes. The Burgundy snails are baked with a generous pat of gloriously garlicky butter and some cheese, and the pot the snails bake in is capped with a crouton. It’s the perfect hors d’oeuvre, as the well cooked and mildly chewy snail takes on all the flavour from the garlic butter and cheese, and it contrasted & complemented divinely by the crisp crouton. It’s the perfect one-biter!⠀

Still, with a start this stellar, there’s no way you can lose at L’Angelus.⠀
