L'IDIOT RESTAURANT CHUNPLACE Store — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

My wife and I were excited to try this place out, and we gave it 2 goes (1 dinner & 1 brunch).

The concept and interior are excellent, being very unique, with a high level and quality of fit and finish.

But, the floor management and wait staff, although they seem to be trying very hard to provide a high level of service, it seems that they are visibly trying too hard, and are not very comfortable doing it.

The menu looks very impressive and intriguing, and I'd say that most of the items we had were quite good, none excellent, some average. Presentation was good.

The one item that ruined it for me though was the French toast during our brunch. Although it looked delicious, it tasted like fish! YUCK! It had obviously been prepared on the same grill/space as the salmon.

In the end, a good appearance does not make up for uneven management/wait staff/food preparation, and prices that are not cheap in my book.

It may be worth one visit to check it out, but I don't think I'll...

Reserved dinner here with a party of 8 for my father’s birthday. Service was great, food was decent, portions were reasonable, and atmosphere was nice.

We ordered two set menus, the Truffled Maple Pork Chop, Lobster Risotto, Seafood Mafaldine Handmade Pesto, French Fries with Truffle Aioli, Fried Hen of the Woods, and Garden Salad.

Definitely want to come back for a date.

Highlight is definitely their Homemade Herb Rubbed US Ribeye steak. Cooked to perfection 😋.

Also highly recommend their Truffled Maple Pork Chop. Mmm so tasty.

I would recommend ordering their set menu for two because just...

04/12/22 updating Not sure if the Chef is changed or what, those best desserts are been removed from the menu. So was the apple caramel Pork. Its kind of shame that the restaurant turned into this. Still delicious, but just ordinary.

I just cannot resist their exquisite desserts. Simple, but delicious. Food is also fantastic. I love their porkpie with mashed potatos. But might not be my first choice if I am looking for good steaks. Price is a little bit high for students. But its a great place to celebrate or date...
