A relatively new bistro on Indiranagar 100ft road is French Quarter. Named after the French territories, the restaurant serves food from France and some of the French colonies (India, Vietnam, Lebanon, Louisiana?)

The menu itself is not expansive but there’s enough stuff for the carnivores to gorge on. The vegetarians at the table ordered falafel and roasted tomatoes on toasted mini bread pieces (rusks in India). The falafel was fairly good and goes well with the yoghurt based sauce. The toasted bread slices were really well made and they vanished in record time.

I ordered the beef based French Onion soup and was pleasantly surprised to see it was very much like the soups I’ve had in France of the same name. The melted cheese on the toasted bread in the soup was just right and everything was steaming (or should I say scalding) hot. A dash of pepper and this was a great start for me.

More vegetarian dishes – Ratatouille was again a good choice as was the Vietnamese curry with steamed rice. We had to order more steamed rice as the quantity that comes with the curry was insufficient.

I had the steak in red wine sauce. My favorite way is to get this done Medium Well and I must say the meat was very tender and done to perfection. The brown gravy was superb. The steak comes with some salad and Fries.

Being too full, we didn’t try the dessert but the mousse cake and blueberry cheesecake looked pretty yummy. Next time!
