Liberty Belle Bistro

Have meant to go since Liberty Belle Bistro about 2 months ago when it first open, then came the Fabfind coupon of $25 for $60.... so no excuse, so make reservation for the weekend and went there after my shopping here. It's a bit out of the way for us but the moment we arrive, i can't help but like it... it's a very small place (i like small cozy restaurant) with super friendly service and fairly short menu = no dilemma in choosing =P

♥ the menu, it's an extra large postcard format

Bar w/ Dinner Specials on the blackboard and by the time we leave even the bar was full

Love all the wood

Each table have different Salt & Pepper Shakers

(ours was super cute)

Their bread was super fresh and hot, the 2 of us finish these in no time especially with the super yummy watercress basil pesto which was super refreshing which was appropriate for the warmer weather =)

Oh and did I mention I ♥ the vintage looking plate a lot

The thing is they don't have a wine list and the waitress just if you'll like white or red and recommend.

I don't think they memorise a list but it's just that they don't have much choice

Steak Tartare served w/ crostini

Super refreshing and served "cold" enough cause I find that a lot of places serve it rather in room temperature.... love how this one is slightly chill

Mussels w/ fresh baked bread 

It's cook in white wine and they really didn't skim on it.... yes more of the fresh bread and we finish all of it, dipping it into the sauce (^_^) Yummmmmm

Super huge portion for $12, should have share this appetizer or even order this as a main.

Duck Confit w/ roasted fingerling potatoes + asparagus

Unlike the one from Mildred;s Temple Kitchen from here, this was super delicious.

Fall off the bone good, crispy skin and the candied orange zest on top was a nice touch.

Simple, clean, traditional Yumminess !!!

Wagyu Bavet w/ caramelized onions topped with watercress basil pesto 

(choice of salad or fries)

Order it rare and it came as we like it... super moist and yummy and the caramelized onion was super good.

While they served the same pesto cold with the bread, this one was hot and it just taste totally different.

@ $26, it's the most expensive item on the menu but really worth every penny 

Salted Caramel Chocolate Ganache Torte

Served warm, it super yummy gooyee good.... melting caramel inside, slightly denser chocolate, flacky crust + the sea salt on top... served as is w/ no fuss 

(no sauce or fruits on the side as decor like most restaurant that really doesn't go w/ the dessert)

Heavenly good !!!

Ben's Americano

I've been eyeing this from the bar since we sat down...

Macaron (salted caramel, strawberry rhubarb, lemon)  

@ 3 for $5.50 - which is rather cheap for macaron, most are sold over priced and may I say it's was better than MoRoCo's posted here... the filling was an accent/ complimentary flavor to the cookies whereas MoRoCo's are rather mono-taste

Vintage pinball machine in the basement

Men's washroom w/ vintage fridge door

 (no I didn't sneak in, Ben took it with his phone for me)
.

Men's washroom sign.....LOL =P

Vintage scale, don't think it works ?!?

Verdict:

One street down from Mildred's Temple Kitchen, I think it's more reasonably priced here with better service and I actually think their washroom was "cuter" here.

Will be back in a heartbeat anytime I crave for Cheap, simple, yummy French cuisine (^_^)
