KK's review of Restaurant Sauterelle

Not a typical place to entertain friends if you are not working in the city. I've bought numerous overseas visitors to the restaurant. I haven't heard any bad things from them about the food, but dinning in a historical building of Royal Exchange in the Bank area was one of their “off the beaten track” tourist experiences.
I was backed to Sauterelle last night but this time with local friends. It was not too busy for a friday evening. Service was friendly as usual. We have the a la carte menu rather than the set. I wasn't particularly hungry so I skipped the starter. I chose a fish course for the main. The “melt in your mouth” fillet of halibut was very juicy. It was placed on top of a bed of earthy puy lentil complemented by the delicate razor clams and samphire. The whole plate was bordered by a black ink sauce, odd looking but quite tasty. The Rhubarb desert was refreshing though the rhubarb itself was slightly too tangy for my taste. I enjoyed the rhubarb sorbet with the thin short bread more. Overall another satisfied (but not spectacular) meal and what I would have expected from Sauterelle.
