Unpretentious good food at this French modern bistro tucked away in TTDI. Let the food speak for itself @topshelf_kl offers casual dining & the food here pays homage to modern French cooking.
What I’ve tried:
*Spanish Pork Belly RM49 (2nd Pic)
-Saffron Risotto, Bacon & Gremolata (a green sauce made of chopped parsley, lemon zest & garlic). The absolutely tender pork belly definitely complemented well with the deliciously simple saffron risotto. You would be able to witness the perfect marriage on this plate - The tender pork belly, zesty Gremolate & the plump & al dente center of Risotto, well thought out and executed for sure.
Another favourite of mine here was the
*Mushroom Orzo Pasta RM 36
-Marinated mushrooms, bacon & truffle egg. Orzo is a small flat oval-shaped pasta that requires very little time to cook. It’s not rice but it's a small, rice-shaped pasta. It feels like you are eating rice but no you are not because you are able to taste that ‘al dente’ texture. With the added tasty crispy bacon pieces, this creamy orzo is definitely a must-try here. Really difficult to describe the overall flavour profiles but if you are a fan of mushrooms, bacon and creamy pastas, this is not to be missed.
What we had as starters:
Moules Mariniere RM39
My very first ‘good’ mussels experience was in Brussels. The whole Moules Frittes, you either love them or no. But oh well I’d eaten mussels in Brussels and finished off the plate of fries. Now, I’m here eating this Moules Mariniere with white wine, shallots and fresh herbs. The mussels from Topshelf were tender, and to pair it with toasted bread - it’s definitely the ultimate combo. Make sure to have it with bread and soak up all the scrumptious sauce. Would reorder when I visit again.
Liver Pate & Toast RM25
-Chicken Liver, Olive Tapenade & Toast
Just make sure to paté-up your toast repetitively before each bite :)
Escargot
-Baked French Snails in Pesto, Garlic & Butter.
Snails/escargots are one of those delicacies that people either love, adore or simply do not like. It’s your choice but for me - it’s something that I am ok to leave out in my order when I make a trip to Topshelf next time.
