L'Absinthe, the name alone of this store exudes a French casual spirit. I also made the classic French meal-oil-sealed duck, snails, steak chips. The dish was not fancy and the taste was solid. The environment is not too formal, and going to a pub at night is a little comfortable, suitable for two people to eat slowly and have a drink. If you are craving serious French meals and don't want to be too generous, this is a reliable choice.
