I have been looking forward to dining at Le Crocodile but was truly disappointed with their underwhelming blend of traditional French cooking and west coast flared food. The restaurant was quite empty during the lunch service but nevertheless, the service was great. The traditional décor, dark mahogany furnishing and tables draped with crisp white linens brings a nice classic touch.
The lunch menu is quite extensive and we are greeted with the pleasant surprise of their Menu Express featuring Wild Mushroom Soup with Truffle Oil or Butter Lettuce Salad with a Daily Main Course for only $20. The daily main course for that day was a 6 oz Grilled Sirloin with red wine reduction sauce. All meals comes with a complementary appetizer sized onion tart and shoestring fries to accompany your main course.
For Lunch, we had
- Menu Express Lunch $20 - Featuring Wild Mushroom Soup with Truffle Oil and 6 oz Grilled Sirloin with red wine reduction sauce - The soup was bland and unappetizing. The quality of the sirloin meat is poor and the texture is tough and chewy even when it is medium rare.
- Tomato & Gin Soup - This is the best part of my lunch. The soup is creamy and flavourful - topping with crème fraiche and chives.
- Seared Scallops with Black Linguini - I was applaud when this dish was served - the scallops were cold, the linguini was way overcooked and certainly not Al-Dente; however, the Lemon Sage Beurre Blanc sauce was decent.
