Croisette Cafe is a destination
restaurant. Huddled in a cosy corner of Cascadium Condominium you'll
find humble settings and food that tastes just like grandma's. This is
the type of place where staff remember your name and first time
customers soon become repeats, sometimes coming for lunch and returning a
few hours later for dinner. With pool and garden views, a quiet homey
feel and food cooked on the spot - Croisette Cafe is ideal for
lingering. The simple, relaxed ambience murmuring with gentle French
tunes is perfect for enjoying the company of friends and family over an
unhurried meal. The friendly owners Michelle and Pier describe the
concept as French, organic and affordable.
The location allows running costs to be kept low with the savings passed
on to customers. You could easily pay double for the same cuisine in a
hotel or nearby mall. A glance at the menu shows prices ranging from
RM1.80 for garlic bread, to RM16 for pasta to the most expensive meal of
Rib Eye Beef at RM44.50. Many ingredients are sourced locally where
possible but some things, such as organic herbs, are imported. Mains are
coded into organic and free range and for the most part are reminiscent
of delicious home cooking. Above you'll see a range of fare beginning
with the starters: Golden Pumpkin Veloute and Wild Mushroom soups -
fresh and not overly blended enabling the individual taste and texture
of the vegetables to be evident; Classic Ceaser Salad - egg, lettuce,
croutons and house made dressing; Margarita Rotizza - ingenious use of a
flaky roti canai base topped with tomatoes, cheese and pistou (olive
oil, rock salt, sweet basil & garlic.) The pictured mains are hearty
simple French fare: free range chicken Coq au Riesling with crushed
baked potato; Organic Beef Bourguignon - lovely red wine sauce with
fresh organic herbs excellent for sopping up with bread; free range Duck
Comfit - so flavourful with the classic French base of onion, garlic
and butter being obvious served on suateed potato slices; and Duck
Breast with Rasberry Sauce - a popular dish.
Mains aside, Croisette Cafe is deserving of a visit based solely on
dessert. Don't even bother feigning to share The Chocolate Orange
Parfait - it is so divinely creamy, smooth and chocolaty that you'll
want one all to yourself. Running a close second (debatable though -
girlfriends say these are number one) are the Blood Orange Chocolate
Cake and the Triple Choc Mousse. But that's just female opinion.
According to hubby the Black Forest Cake - assembled a little
differently to what you'd expect with more creamy layers and less cake -
and the Passion Indulgence - creme brulee, white chocolate cream and
passionfruit, are at the top of the list.
Catering, delivery and cakes made-to-order are other things to get
excited about. Stay tuned for some new additions too such as a garden
seating area and Sunday brunches - coming up after Chinese New
Year. Comfortable surroundings, affordable prices, memorable desserts
and staff who make you feel part of the family. My, Oh My!
