索卡藍帶廚坊 La Socca Bistro de style familial 法國家庭式餐酒館 [預約制] — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

Last week we visited this restaurant and got a huge amount of unforgettable emotions, but first things first!

Firstly, we were struck by the place where the restaurant is located! Very authentic! The restaurant itself from the outside looks incredibly cozy, beautiful and you want to go there! At the entrance there is a sign with the name of the restaurant and a telephone booth as a design move. Behind the cobbled fence there is a small terrace with beds, trees in garlands and a beautiful bottle installation. There is also a place to sit (probably used in winter and autumn, but it is hot there in summer I suppose).

Entering the restaurant you are greeted by a ship in the wall, a bunch of plates with reviews from restaurant visitors written on them)) The bar is very nice, the menu is written very neatly and designed with neon.

The style of interior decoration reminded me of Japanese, although as it turned out later, it was more Filipino)) windows to the floor, if you look up you can see a wooden roof, a cool fan, something like a mill.

All the tables around us were occupied, pleasant music was playing, the view from our table fell on the second terrace of the restaurannt through the floor-to-ceiling window.

We really wanted to get to this place, since it’s impossible to come here just like that, you need to make a reservation in advance! The chef studied in Japan and he cooks everything by himself! Therefore, he has a lot of work))

As for food - oh my Gosh! It was just unbelievable. If there's a word that describes the tastiest thing we've ever tasted, this is it. The presentation is just incredible! And most importantly - everything was in moderation!

We started with a salad. Fresh greens, very interesting sauce! Not the usual lemon gouge, but a very tasty sauce!

After the salad, we were served soup! There were three of us and we ordered two types of soup. The first with beef broth, the second with seafood. I am now trying to keep a diet and eat right, so beef soup is the perfect food for me now. The meat melts in your mouth, rich broth, onion! Insanely healthy and delicious! I also tried the seafood soup! Salty and also very tasty! Crispy croissants served with the soup! Perfect! The portions were just right to leave room for the main course and dessert!

For the main course we were served pork cheeks with three vegetable dumplings and broccoli, snails in garlic sauce with slices of white bread, a casserole with mashed meat, bacon and cheese, as well as duck with french fries and zucchini. The serving is like in a Michelin restaurant haha very noticeable!

As for the taste - well, there's nothing to say here! Perfect! What tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat! As if it was cooked for a week)) Sauces, I would say, are very reach in taste! The snails complemented everything so well! My taste buds were delighted! Salty and garlic - just the way I like it! Not a single dish left us indifferent! Much respect to the chef! By the way, he still found time to go out, serve dishes and talk with every visitor! Incredible!

Next we have desserts! Firstly, I want to note that they make their own ice cream! They have special equipment! And this ice cream is just WOW! I would eat tons haha And an apple hot pie with a scoop of cold ice cream on top - scrumptious! Guys, if you are reading this review - run urgently to this restaurant haha

In general, in conclusion, I want to say that we usually eat little and leave a lot of food, but in this restaurant we ate EVERYTHING to the last bite! And at the end I even managed to sing a song) they have a microphone and karaoke! We rested our souls in this chic place and will definitely go there again! Staff - the chef and his wife are very nice and friendly people! We felt very welcome! Thank you very much!

P.S. This is my biggest...

This is the first time I dine here. When I drove to the neighborhood, I felt that the environment was very quiet. I walked around and found today's target "La Socca Bistro de style familial".

There are complete dining instructions and store regulations at the entrance, and there are many cute little ingenious decorations in the front yard, as well as some plants that will be used for meals.

The chef greeted warmly, and after guiding us into the building, I saw a super handsome boat, which was said to be restored by hand. There are signatures and trophies of various celebrities at the entrance. The overall space has retro elements but also has more temperament and elegant atmosphere.

The meals are very special, whether it is beef, pork or duck, they are all very tender and delicious, and the special potato and duck fries are memorable. The added chicken wings and French fries are very, very, very recommended! Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, full of flavor.

The handmade ice cream is delicious. For me who loves to eat ice, this score ranks in the top 5! The chestnut dessert served at the end is also very unique, I sincerely recommend it...

＊全預約制＊可先提前在粉絲專頁點餐

預約用餐時間是較冷門的14：00，進店後發現這個時間只有我們一組用餐客人，不免有些拘謹，畢竟在印象中的法餐都是比較正式的，沒想到老闆娘十分熱情的接待我們，並且告訴我們說，他們想要做的是像是輕鬆風格可以隨性用餐的法餐，更加的平易近人

第一道沙拉我是真的忘記拍，四種萵苣搭配油醋醬，一開始擔心會像一般的油醋醬汁那樣微微嗆口，沒想到醋味僅是稍稍點綴更顯出新鮮萵苣的口感（可能個人也十分喜愛奶油萵苣及火焰萵苣的味道吧！）

主廚湯品是干貝絲瓜蛤蜊打成的濃湯，我必須老實說，我挑食，我不喜歡瓜類獨特的味道，但是在隔一天之後最令人回味的竟是這道湯品，食材鮮味鹹味香味在嘴裡縈繞，久久不散，且不得不推拿可頌來沾，說有多好吃就有多好吃了！

加點菜品一，可頌麵包籃（6顆），麵包愛好者真的要點，索卡的可頌已經坐上我人生可頌的一位了！（上個第一名是諾富特飯店麵包坊裡的可頌）酥鬆香軟，我們臨走前還外帶了一份，外帶的時候，友人說聞到又餓了，忍不住又吃了一顆，真的大推推！

加點菜品二，松露焗烤薯泥，這個是隨個人喜好的加點，因為我與同行友人都非常喜愛松露，聽老闆娘的介紹才知道這薯泥真的非常費工，索卡的馬鈴薯是烤後才來壓製成薯泥，這與一般蒸熟的薯泥大不相同，削皮後蒸熟的薯泥會偏乾且甜味不明顯，烤熟的馬鈴薯做的薯泥會濃縮了馬鈴薯本身的香味及甜味，這也是美味的秘訣！

主餐一，法式經典油封鴨腿，這是同行友人的主餐，我分食了一口，驚人的鬆軟（捧臉頰），跟既定印象乾柴的鴨肉完全不一樣，也跟偏油的鴨胸也不一樣，就是軟嫩且調味恰到好處，搭配鷹嘴豆泥，顯出鴨腿本身的美味

主餐二，紅酒燉牛頰，其實我吃牛肉的年資不長，大概三四年而已，牛頰對我來說是非常陌生的部位，但是這麼軟乎乎又富含膠質的感覺是正常的嗎？怎麼這樣好吃呀！那個醬汁的味道也是極好，不過鹹，非常濃郁！再搭配旁邊的薯泥一起，真是美味，最後再偷偷拿個可頌把盤底的醬汁偷偷擦乾淨，光盤行動，從我開始！（照片是我不小心已經吃了兩口才想到拍照）

甜點一，開心果冰淇淋，一樣是同行友人的點心，主廚自製的開心果冰淇淋配上旁邊的杏仁酥片，覺得這一餐都完整了！

甜點二，千層蘋果盒子，必點！必點！必點！身為資深蘋果派粉絲的我（推眼鏡），認真推薦這道蘋果盒子，外面是酥鬆的可頌皮，裡面是滿滿的蘋果及蘋果醬再搭配上上面的冰淇淋，誰能抗拒這樣熱乎乎又冰涼涼的美味甜點呢？老闆娘也自豪的說，吃過他們家的蘋果派是吃不了其他家的啦！單單衝著這個千層蘋果盒，我近期內一定會再去一次！

最後整體的用餐體驗良好，服務熱情又輕鬆，像是去朋友家作客的輕鬆感，我很喜歡，餐點的部分是主廚很用心發揮食材自身的優點及美味，不做過多的調味，用餐過後也不會覺得很有負擔，是近期內值得大推的餐廳，必再回訪！

要注意的是店家為全預約制，千萬不要沒預約就前往，會失望而歸喔！另外就是離市區真的有點遠，幸好很好停車，吃完以後也能逛逛舊眷村的街道，不過有半數已是半頹圮的狀態，小時候住眷村的回憶湧上心頭，不免有些唏噓，還是吃美食最實在啦！

希望在高雄的好店家能多多被大家發現！ 還有...
