Just sitting down, I found the dining room of Les Faux Bourgeois likeable. The slightly dim lighting might not be photography friendly, but it created\u00a0a warm and intimate ambiance, fantastic\u00a0for unwinding or having a romantic dinner. A family of 6 or 7 sitting at a table next to ours seemed to be enjoying their dinner in the peaceful atmosphere, with their papa quietly sipping on a small glass of Absinthe, and slowly cutting his steak.<\/p>\n

Their menu seemed genuine and humble, featuring mostly Bistro\u00a0dishes, nothing too fancy. Some classic French favourites on the menu caught our eyes such as Escargots De Bourgogne<\/strong>, \u00a0and Boudin Noir<\/strong>\u00a0 for our appetizer choices. I also picked the Pan Fried Sweet Bread<\/strong>\u00a0on their daily special board. I think the lighting had made the colours of the dishes very similar, somehow the flavours were very similar as well. I was very excited to try Boudin Noir and sweet bread the first time at a French Bistro, but I did not find the dishes particularly great and memorable.<\/p>\n

For the mains, then dishes again were very unpretentious, and the portions were quite generous, especially Bert’s Moules Marinieres<\/strong>, which came with a huge bowl of French fries. The mussels were big, fresh and satisfying. LoLo was slightly disappointed on her French Hamburger Steak<\/strong>, a dish on their daily special board, and wish she had sticked with something classic on the menu. Her entree also came with a huge bowl of fries. The fries were good but we could barely finish half of them. I ordered Cassoulet, possibly the French version of the British poor man’s dish Pork and Beans, a white bean stew cooked with pork, duck and Toulouse sausage. The portion was also big, although not amazing, I did find the dish comforting. And it was a shame that we had absolutely no room for desserts.<\/p>\n

Overall although not super great, we found the food here enjoyable and the price quite reasonable. They definitely keep\u00a0people who appreciate the values of their dishes coming back. I do want to come back here to try the other classic bistro dishes such as Duck Confit, Veal and Mushroom or Creme Br\u00fbl\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
