PRUNE French Bistro - Lebanon

Thanks to Zomato for the foodie meetup at Prune ...

Am not sure how to begin this time. First of all instead of serving The foodie meet up the specialty salads we got to taste them last and that is after we complained about some ingredients in the served ones as mentioned below , and that is because of the professionalism of the owner that didn't want us to leave unsatisfied....

First of all we arrived at 7:30 Sharp , a couple of people were there waiting for the rest to arrive , we were served a bread basket and peanuts , we waited for almost 65 minutes to be served the first dish which arrived at 8:35 sharp ...

And the menu goes as below : 

Starters 

-Salade Romana .. Was chewy and had some hard parts , the Rucola was bitter !

-Calamars Grille ... The calamari parts were salty ! literally full of salt ! and you can't take more than one bite of it because its un-chewable  (to be fair i tasted it from the other plate next to me it was a bit better )

-Burata et tomate cerise , pesto , it needed salt , the cheese was so creamy on the inside in a strange way , needs a lot of pesto ! (couldnt taste the pesto)

-Salade Chevre et Prune , My favorite starter ! all perfect from the first bite but i would recommend if they add extra dressing aside since some bites were dry ,

Now lets cut to the chase and talk about the main dishes , 

-Entrecote tagliata style , frite : First and this is a common mistake in most of the places that serve entrecote , no one asked me how i like my steak ! i mean i like mine well done (i know its wrong to eat steak like that , but its a personal culinary favorite ) .... so i asked if it can be done that way and they were more than nice to serve me a special well done steak (though some parts were still medium well) .. it tasted great but again it needs a bit of dressing sauce to make it taste less dry 

-Risotto aux cepes : i couldn't take more than one bite , the truffle oil used in it had a dominant strong smell and taste that made it un-edible !

-Poulet au Prune , Pomme Puree : This was my favorite main dish ! OH THE PRUNES with the chicken ! that sweet taste in the plate ! i wished the plate didn't end !! and to make things better the mashed potatoes aside were more than perfect !!

Desserts : 

For me these were the stars of the show !  

We were served A piece of Gateau Chocolat which was amazing for me ! perfectly done , perfect sweetness, and soft on the inside .

The pain retrouve was perfectly THICK , dripping with caramel and maple syrup , ith a scoop of vanilla ice cream aside , It was soo good no one left a piece in his plate , but as a recommendation for it to be even better (since its one of the best that ive tasted ) they should add more syrup to it since the inside needs to be more juicy , 

As an overall experience we had fun enjoyed some of the plates served and some we had comments , and the owner promised to take those into consideration since he is one of the most professional owners ive met , ....
