L'escargots [Taipei/French]

L'escargots

hours: 11:30am-9pm
tel: (02)2820-9920
mrt: shipai 
pricing: pricey $$$


Located near Yangmingshan college, this lovely restaurant was introduced to me by some friends who took for a birthday treat. A French restaurant with a semi formal atmosphere that serves up entrees paired with a all you can eat buffet.  


The lunch buffet does not have a whole lot of variety , but what they have is pretty good. The buffet has typical fares, salad,pasta,dessert, smoked salmon and also delicate braised pig knuckles. 


The blueberry marbled cheesecake was actually quite delicious


I've always had a deep love for smoked salmon, and it didn't disappoint. The pig knuckle was braised till tender making it delicious. 
For my main course I ordered the steak , I ordered it rare, but as you can see it definitely was not rare. When I cut through it I didn't see the familiar red color but brown... with that said the quality of the meat was good just not cooked to what I wanted. 

I'm not sure if I would go back, the food wasn't overly special and frankly I could get better food for better prices in lots of other places.
