| Lobster bisque, a signature at Fleur de Sel |
A year and a half after opening at Tras Street, Fleur de Sel, a French restaurant by Alexandre Lozachmeur, an alum of Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athenee, has added an array of new dishes to it's menu of French classics anchored by the now-famous lobster bisque.

| Le Crabe |
To start, order Le Crabe (S$27), a savoury salad of shredded French mud crab with creamy fork-mashed avocado refreshed with a dollop of dill-flecked balsamic sorbet.

| Les Saint-Jacques |
If you have a weakness for umami, we reckon you’ll prefer Les Saint-Jacques (S$27), succulent pan seared scallop drizzled with chicken jus alongside a slice of King oyster mushroom skirted by a fold of Parma ham and a leaf of arugula.

| Slow-cooked Welsh lamb rump |
For mains, we are impartial to the rather-dull slow-cooked Welsh lamb rump in rosemary lamb sauce (S$43) although we have no complaints with the accompanying garlic, green peas and carrots.

| Slow-cooked Tasmanian ocean trout |
The slow-cooked Tasmanian ocean trout (S$41), which cuts like butter, fares brilliantly particularly in the company of crispy trout skin and elegant dollops of cauliflower puree.
But the dessert department is the restaurant’s strongest suit (although we'd highly recommend that you survey the divine cheese board first).

| Le Rhubarbe |

| Le Citron |
La Rhubarbe (S$15), a mound of stewed rhubarb with marinated berries, custard cream and crumble, is a picture-perfect composition of sweetness and acidity. Le Citron (S$15) is equally riveting; the lemon custard tart, which arrives with a scoop of palate-cleansing basil sorbet and Italian meringue, has none of the “eggy” aftertaste present in run-of-the-mill lemon tarts.
