Throughout the civilized world, French cuisine is known for its distinguished presentation, delicate ingredients and beautiful complexity. From the aperitifs, the hors d’oeuvre to the plat principal and smorgasbord of complementary wines and champagnes, each course of a French meal is streamlined with centuries-old traditions.
Guests will find none of the above at Mr & Mrs Bund, a modern French eatery that takes a step forward from fine dining – breaking all the rules and reinventing the way we savor French cuisine. a culinary egalitarian, founding Chef Paul Pairet’s approach is free of prejudice and biased opinion. Whether using tinned sardines to produce sophisticated, avant-garde fine dining dishes, or using sophisticated, avant-garde techniques to produce the simplest of French and global dishes, the chef ensures everything he creates suits the taste of his guests perfectly.
at Mr & Mrs Bund, the menu is merely a guideline – a straightforward map of choices that starts with simple French classics, then lets you mix and match as you please. Take a fine cut of veal, for instance. It can be served with several sauces. Pick one to go with your meat, or forget the veal altogether and get a turbot, béarnaise style or with truffles, and maybe add spinach and sautéed garlic on the side. or maybe steamed spinach? But wait, the spinach gratin sounds nice, too.
See what we mean? There is something for everyone. The food is about “cuisine for diners” and, as such, its menu indulges guests’ flights of fancy and caters to their whims, because when a specific craving hits, substitutes and “close-enoughs” simply won’t do.
Enter the wine list: one of the most important aspects of fine dining, especially when it’s French. leveraging the latest in wine preservation and service technology, Mr & Mrs Bund offers 32 different kinds of wine – from australian, European, to South african – by the glass, in varying sizes. Served on a handsome communal table anchoring the central lounge, flanked by Enomatic wine machines, those unabashed classics and overlooked gems, at all price ranges, look absolutely irresistible.
