La Terrasse is strictly French and I love it! The menu created by Chef Rene-Etienne Bedu is à la française to the core and unwavering. Even though service can be good at times it also can be a bit brash, but with the likes of Tête de veau with sauce gribiche appearing as one of the specials, so difficult to find in Asia, how can I resist? I also adore sitting in the charming terrace in the rear of this casual bistro in Soho for lunch. The menu:
