Hermitage offers an elegant experience French cuisine
When the restaurant staff speaks the language of food, is a good omen for a traditional dinner. Therefore, it is in the Hermitage restaurant in Robson Street. His first experience of a truly French evening staff is impeccably presented, greeting and seating with aplomb courteous and delightful French accent. It may be a small thing, but the menu makes it easy comfort.
There are some things Ermita mark the distance. Instead of having a noisy, energy bistro feel, this is where you will enjoy fine French dining in a comfortable and elegant. There are tables and booths, indirect lighting, clean white tablecloths and dark wood paneled walls, French treasures, and bottles of wine. As is traditional in France, Servers are there to meet your needs. And as you finish your course of several, all the remains including those covered will be swept away in an instant by the attentive staff and replaced as efficiently and discreetly.
If you decide to start the evening with a bottle of wine, there is an extensive wine list freely. However, if you do not have a particular wine in mind, there are eight special wines of Burgundy that are recommended by the owner of Herve Martin. The three white and four red and sparkling wines all come from Chateau de Chamilly, a winery owned and operated by the sister of Hervás and located outside its home Beaune, capital of Burgundy. These wines are specific and unique to the Hermitage restaurant, and although all are probably just as entertaining, Burgundy pinot noir is an excellent soft option to be ready your palate for good food to come.
A cord starting point would be the "asperges morel sauce verte avec" This translates into green asparagus with morel mushroom sauce wonderful. Light and delicious, it's an excellent alternative to a salad. Plump praws strips sauteed with fennel and fragrant with oregano and garlic, are a satisfactory option and others. But let's move on to main dishes. Last week's special of duck included a wonderful duck breast slices served on a leaf-shaped fan in a dish lightly coated with a rich pink peppercorn, brandy and cream sauce. Like much of French cuisine care for the sauces is what makes many of the dishes. Also especially rainbow trout fillet Grenoblois, a delicate dish enhanced with the flavor of lemon grass and capers, sweet butter and dotted with pieces of homemade bread. All herbs used in the chapel are cool, which adds to the diligence with individual dishes.
If you care to finish your meal with dessert, all sinful choices are homemade. Chocolate cake, flan, crème brûlée, lemon pie or any of the others, will not be disappointed.
The Hermitage Restaurant has been part of the Robson street scene for twenty years, and Hervé Martin has put his extensive history as executive chef to good use. If you want to be served in style though, relax in comfort and not rushed, the Hermitage is hands down, the French favorite.
The Hermitage Restaurant is located at 1025 Robson Street, Robson and the gallery is open for lunch Monday through Friday and every night for dinner. Book is a must. Call 604-689-3237.
