With a soundtrack loading up the French ambience via a repertoire from La Vie en Rose to accordion-led jazz, there’s no doubting the culinary inspiration for this restaurant on the ground floor of Hotel X in Fortitude Valley.
The menu works its way through oysters and caviar to entrees such as steak tartare, sharing dishes of entrecote and Murray cod, well-priced mains including confit duck leg or artichoke boudin, and sides such as gem lettuce with Puy lentils and roasted grapes or french fries.
A winter warming starter of baked goat’s cheese beneath a golden dome of filo pastry on a bed of eggplant, raisins and pistachio appeals, or a cooler option is a thin tart shell filled with a generous amount of chicken liver parfait topped with diced grilled stone fruit and beetroot, peas and a soft strip of jambon.
Mains are generously portioned, such as the tender, moist rotisserie chicken breast surrounded by sweet corn and brioche soubise, or there’s slow-cooked treacle-glazed blade of beef.
Dessert could be a choux pastry ball filled with milk chocolate and hazelnut cream and encircled by cherry jam and hazelnuts. Service is relaxed and attentive and Bisou Bisou has settled in well, finding a good balance between quality and value.
