High class a la cart dining at an affordable rate
Amazing!
Gently located upstairs from Val’s Place is a secret high class restaurant serving a variety of meals for everyone. Now that the secret is out! Bonne Cuisine is located in Richfond Dennery opposite the Richfond Gas Station and is open from Mondays to Saturdays 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. YES there is a dress code. Dress elegantly and enjoy a romantic dinner. Both walk ins and reservations are accepted.
It’s a date
Wait next to the “Please Wait Here” sign and wait for the waitress as she introduces herself, smiles and welcomes you to the restaurant. Then get escorted to your seat and be mesmerized by the ambience and modern furnishings.
It was the day post Valentine’s day at about 8 p.m. so Bonne Cuisine was fully decorated with lights and romantic decors.
My eyes dazzled as I marveled at the drink and dinner menu served respectively. They made me feel like I was at a hotel and really had me wanting to sample everything.
First-class restaurant
The light coloured interior added to the uniqueness and elegancy of the restaurant. The walls were not naked but covered with paintings that enhanced the feel.
The dim light candled table setting boosted the elegancy, added to the intimate experience and made me feel well relaxed.
The restaurant was neat with good seat setting. The atmosphere was cozy, appealing and relaxing.
The dinner sitting at Bonne Cuisine is ideal for private intimate dinners. The tables are spaced out so gives extra privacy.
The seats were comfortable and I loved the marble tables.
Although the music was low, I heard the hip classical jazz and even said “wow been a while since I heard that song.”
I listened to hear for the sounds from the ongoing traffic since the restaurant is located next to a highway and I could barely hear the sound of the moving vehicles.
The room temperature was right and I did not once say I was cold since I typically feel cold.
Note no smoking is allowed whether dining indoors or in the veranda.
You are served
Get served garlic bread compliments of Bonne Cuisine. The taste of the herbs and melted butter on the garlic bread spoke volumes of the overall taste.
The garlic taste was not overpowering but just right. The bread also just the right texture, toasted perfectly. Getting served garlic bread compliments of the restaurant felt like it was a “thank you for coming” token and solidified that it would be high class dining at a fancy restaurant.
The friendly, uniformed neatly dressed waitress made the dining experience interesting as she knew the menu really well.
Tantalizing
Drink menu
The drink menu is easy to manoeuvre so I did not feel overwhelmed and like I did not know which drink to choose.
Drink ingredients are also included for better decision making and to at least have an idea of what goes in your drink. A big plus for individuals with various allergies!
Come see for yourself the many drinks to choose from both with and without alcohol. Mocktails, cocktails, champagnes and even wines are available.
Fruit Punch
The blended fruit punch was filled with flavor from various fruit juice. It tasted like a juice infusion and was just as sweet and refreshing as I like it.
Dinner it is
This is really a la cart dining at its’ best. As with a three course meal, you first start off with an appetizer to snack on, soup or salad, go to the mains then do dessert.
The mains are served with complimentary rice or side but the side is for an added fee.
The dinner menu is eye boggling and has something for everyone and is friendly to all eaters.
Let’s begin!
Caesar salad
I started the three course meal with the Caesar salad served with romaine lettuce, croutons and parmesan cheese. As I dug in, I smiled.
The lettuce was fresh, the croutons dry and crunchy and the cheese added extra flavour to the salad.
The sauce was rich, creamy, smelt good and tasted just as good.
The sauce when combined to the dish was exquisite and added a burst of flavors. It made the meal the cherry on top for me.
Pumpkin soup
The pumpkin soup was thick, creamy and was full of flavour. It did taste of pumpkin, was nourishing, satisfying, tasty and it did smell nice.
Honey BBQ ribs
This is what I had been longing for all along! The ribs were marinated in honey barbeque sauce and had a sweet aroma. Lots of flavour and the ribs were cooked to perfection.
The ribs were meaty, juicy, tender and the taste literally kicked my palate with excitement from the flavours. The honey BBQ ribs were addictive and indeed finger licking good. Very well-seasoned!
The salad was crunchy and rice also well-seasoned. I was super full after eating the ribs so had to take some time to relax and let my tummy settle. Would I even be able to squeeze in dessert?! I wondered…
Caribbean succulent steak
I enjoyed the well done steak. The peppercorn sauce added an extra spicy taste to the steak. The big grilled steak was tender, succulent, lean, flavorsome and was easy to chew. Great smell and very well done! Need I describe some more?
Dessert
Chocolate cake
By dessert time I was overly satisfied with the meals and brilliant service. Chocolate cake is one of my partner’s favourite so he enjoyed every bite.
The chocolate cake had a rich chocolate flavour. The frosting was not too sweet and the cake was not too moist but the sweetness, taste and moisture remained consistent throughout.
I was very thrilled with the chocolate cake. I love ice cream so yes I would obviously love the vanilla ice cream served. There are different ice cream flavors so ask your server for the available ice cream choices.
Cheesecake
My choice from the different cheesecake toppings was strawberry. The cheesecake was perfectly done- I love that the crust was thin.
The cheesecake filling was smooth on the palate, rich and creamy. The cheesecake tasted heavenly and finalized the savour of all my meals.
Our waitress Geanelle
Our waitress knew and explained the menu really well and gave further details on the wines and drinks. She came back at a reasonable time to clear the table so we did not feel like dinner had to be rushed nor like we had to force to eat quickly.
Geanelle checked on us intermittently to ensure that everything was going well. She gave warm smiles, was friendly, courteous and engaging.
She was also neatly dressed in a uniform.
Special events
Special events such as birthday celebrations, anniversaries and other engagements can be hosted at Bonne Cuisine for a maximum of 25 persons.
Ensure that you mark your calendar and book your dinner next year for Valentine’s day and Mother’s day to take advantage of the special offers and giveaways.
I was able to witness a couple celebrate a birthday. The area was well decorated and the birthday girl became really excited when a happy birthday song was played and the waitress came out with a dessert stacked with firework candles.
Outdoor dining
Have your dining experience in the veranda whilst enjoying the scenery and view of the community. Shutters are available for rainy days so no need to worry about the weather.
Cheers!
