Ten Bistro

Ten Bistro Review

This trendy, eclectic bistro in the ground floor of the Hotel De Ville is owned by Chef Fabién Migny, one of the founders of Eurasia. Ten's menu is similar to Eurasia's in its blending of French and Asian traditions, but the decor is something completely different. The rounded white walls, orange lights, abundant candles, and bird-of-paradise flowers suspended over the tables in giant test tubes, together with the beat of the house music, provide a very 21st-century ambience. You may start with saffron crab soup in a puff pastry, or dip some prawn spring rolls into a tropical sauce. The main fare ranges from grouper poached in coconut milk to beef tenderloin Indochine—with Chinese mushrooms and mustard leaves, served with potato tempura. The name refers to the fact that many main courses cost just $10, though some dishes are considerably more expensive. The desserts are decadent, so be sure to save room.
