Bistro 1855 [Review]

When night falls, Bistro 1855 transforms into a wine bar dishing out a range of tapas, mains and sharing plates with house wine for a chill-out evening. It's very accessible and easily spotted being just beside the exit of Esplanade MRT. I was very impressed with its spacious interior, housing a wine cellar with more than 100 labels and a dining space for over 200 patrons. 


Rustic Fries (S$8)
The combination of fries and a dip is probably the oldest trick in the book. I liked that cut potatoes were used for the fries and the smokey and tangy touch to the sauce. This was quite addictive and it would be good if the portion was bigger.


1855 Wings (S$8)
I found the savoury garlic-soy teriyaki glaze tasty, but I do have to point out on the dryness of the flesh of the chicken. They were a little too tough.


Cheese Platter (S$23)
I love cheese! I was satisfied with the variety of cheese served and it provided a good break from all the savoury flavours.


Crispy Pork Belly (S$10)
It's tasty, much like any other chinese sio bak, but there wasn't anything special to this dish.


Duck Confit (S$20)
Perhaps the star dish of the night, the duck was roasted really well with the skin crisp and flesh tender. The marinate was adequately sweet and it's clear that effort was put into the presentation. Worth a try.


Lamb Shank (S$26)
The lamb was really tender, falling off the bone without much effort. The flesh was really delicious together with the red wine sauce and it's no wonder that Bistro 1855 highlighted this dish as one of their signatures. Definitely a must-try!

I actually hoped that I would be able to try more of their substantial dishes to enjoy what they truly had to offer. Nonetheless, Bistro 1855 is a good place with a variety of bar snacks and wine for after-work distressing.
