Some dishes on the menu, for which we had to resort to Google Translate, include l'escargot, snails served with parsley butter and pommes grenailles (small potatoes); artichaut barigoule, artichokes braised in white wine with roasted vegetables; saumon tartare, fresh raw salmon with spice aioli (creamy garlic sauce), avocado and caviar; and Oeufs à la Lyonnaise, deviled eggs with vegetable salad.
Bar Sardine’s Apertifs & Hors D’oeuvres section offers a variety of classic French tastes, including onion soup gratinee, honey truffle brie baguette, truffle frites and a selection of cheeses like brie de meaux and Roquefort.
The drink menu has a now-trending caviar martini, a mix of Grey Goose, rye whiskey, white peppercorn, bitters and Osestra caviar. The Fluffy Margarita Royale combines of Olmeca Altos tequila, ancho verde, lime, fluffy pineapple, pineapple soda, prosecco and lava salt.
