We visited Bouchon in Kingsland as the cafe of choice for Megan's 20th birthday lunch. Bouchon used to be a regular for us with the very french menu consisting mainly of crepes in the day time and having something to suit everyone's tastes.
Today's visit was underwhelming. Maybe this was because we had not visited in ages and our 'remembered' meals were better than the reality? Maybe because the heavily accented 'bonjour' we used to be created with was missing? Maybe the Rugby World Cup can be blamed?
We had the mandatory cup of dry apple cider with our meals - it was still great. Megan and Bella both ordered crepes heavily laced with chocolate sauce, fruit and ice-cream. John and I ordered the french onion soup. I was really disappointed with mine. It has left me determined to make french onion soup in the very near future to make up for the disappointment...so this recipe will be coming up in the next week or so.
I think a return visit AFTER the RWC is over is called for to see if this was just an off day.
