| Chicken sandwich (if remembered correctly) |
The lamb sandwich was very tasty! It looks small but it can be filling – not to the point where your tummy explodes, but a good 80% fullness. There’s really not anything I wasn’t satisfied. Everything is so satisfying. The lamb meat was nicely cook – zero chewiness. And oooh the charcoal taste…so goood. Mr.Butter ordered the chicken sandwich, and let me tell you now, order the lamb sandwich instead. LOL! The chicken was nothing like the lamb one. Just too blend. The richness of the lamb really makes it memorable. So skip the chicken, and have the lamb instead!
Next time, I shall try their lamb rice and even the BRAAAINS!!

I do not know how many times have I repeated myself…I am not fond of sushi buffet. I am an avid sashimi eater and in buffet, they always serve mediocre sashimi and the cut of the sashimi is down played as well. I agree I shouldn’t complain with the price I am paying for.
Why did I go to a buffet when I know I won’t be satisfied? Because it seems to please a lot of people and my friends have chosen Crescent Sushi as restaurant to catch up.
As I had read many reviews on Urbanspoon, I was expecting a very bad service. It was not as bad as I thought. The service started off very badly because my glass of water was not served immediately (especially when i was dying of thirst). But it did gradually and quickly got better and better. Our order was taken and served quickly.
As for the food goes, they offer quite a range. It’s a great place if you have a group that some do not eat sushi as they offer udon, and other cooked dishes. I find that the rolls do not differ that much from one and another. We had a hard time distinguishing which roll we were having. In the end, they all tasted quite similar. The sashimi was fresh…but nothing special.
One thing that I have to praise is their mussels. They were good! We ordered non-stop.
Other than that, it is like any other sushi buffet restaurant. It’s simply one more added to the list without any touch of uniqueness.

I came across this place during the event of La nuit blance 2012 where they were serving free hot chocolate. As we wanted to have marshmallow in our hot chocolate, we bought their marshmallow! Very impressive which is I always wanted to revisit this place for their ice cream in warmer weather.
What makes Les Givres very unique is that not only they make their own ice cream, they make the cones (not only the waffles ones, the normal ones as well!!) and marshmallow. But…the cones are nothing to be crazy about. Leave it to the marshmallow and ice cream instead!
They have a quite some choices on their ice cream flavor and most of them cannot be found elsewhere!
What’s even more exciting? Their pricing is very reasonable, about 4$ each ice cream. Their portion is perfect. I hate when my ice cream is so huge that I cannot finish it and then it starts to melt and becomes a mess…ANNNND! They give student discount! woohoo, it’s always very handy to carry your student ID (they usually don’t check the expiry date…lol)
I had chosen the pistachio and I am declaring this is the best pistachio ice cream I have tasted so far! So nutty. Real pistachio flavour in every bite! So creamy as well… It was just plainly delicious. Unlike from other ice cream brand where they like to make their pistachio ice cream super screamingly green, Les Givres pistachio ice cream has a tint of yelllow and green, as if it is green tea ice cream!
Their sorbet are just as amazing! Very flavourful! Very light and refreshing. I could really taste the fruits in this strawberry sorbet!
I approve this place!! I have already gone there another time after this visit and tried another flavor sorbet. All the people that came with me were silently enjoying their ice cream…cuz it was that amazing.

This is my second visit at Cacao 70. My first review can be found here.
The main purpose of my second visit is to try out their waffles!!
Sadly, their waffles are not as impressive as their pizza. Their waffles are in the harder side. I still haven’t found a place that serves better waffles than Breakfast Club!!
We also ordered a cheesecake a la Cacao 70 style. Quite unique and interesting…If you like more mousse type of cake, this cake is for you. Personally, I like more solid cake, especially for my cheesecake. Interesting concept, but not my cup of tea…
If i go back, I’ll definitely stick to the pizza….

Just like the name states. this restaurant makes you feel like you’re inside a garden. Sure the environment was nice – live jazz band, flowers, exposed to exterior weather. Just perfect environment.
But the food was not up to par to the ambiance at all! Maybe I ordered the wrong food…but we were 3 to order the wrong food? The food was nothing spectacular…I even dare to say, a bit below average.
We were 3 starving beasts, that haven’t eaten supper and it was 9pm. I would believe that we were be biased since we were obviously gonna find any food GREAT at this starvation mode. But no…food not good at all.
