Discover Restaurants offering the best Wine Bar food in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China. Suzhou is a major city on the lower Yangtze known for its canals, bridges, pagodas, and beautiful gardens. These gardens were built and owned by wealthy families and emperors hundreds of years ago, and make for a pleasant place to wander during nice weather.

6. L'Arome (Suzhou Center)

Reviewed By Ricky_Brent
For an affluent and relatively international city with over 10 million people, Suzhou has few French restaurants and even fewer that are any good. LâArôme in the Suzhou Center is therefore potentially a very welcome addition. To enter LâArôme you draw back some heavy curtains and pass through a darkened drinks area, which, with its purple lighting and avant-garde decor, somewhat resembles the bar out of 'Blade Runner'. The actual dining area is tastefully set out with circular dining booths and tables complemented by mushroom-coloured seating and subtle recessed circular lighting. Clearly, some substantial funds have been invested in furnishing this restaurant. The attractive menu, which has images of some famous impressionist paintings, includes a few French classics such as blanquette de veau (listed as a favourite of the French president - presumably referring to Emmanuel Macron, not François Hollande) and confit de canard. However, there are also some Italian dishes such as risottos and pizzas and, slightly bizarrely, Beef Wellington, which I always assumed was invented by 'Les Rosbifs' to commemorate someone who was rather antagonistic to the French. Maybe it would have been more diplomatic to refer to it as 'filet de bÅuf en croûte'. Indeed, LâArôme has quite an emphasis on beef; arguably steaks are over-represented on the menu. Also arguably, too many of the dishes are accompanied with mashed potato - hopefully, over time there will be more variety.The set menus looked well-balanced and relatively good value for money. The wine list has a rather limited selection of French wines by the glass. Presumably, the predominance of Australian brands such as Kwala reflects the lower tax imposed on such wines in China. However, there are bottles of French (and other) wine to suit most pockets. Although San Pellegrino water was listed it wasn't available but Perrier water was fine and more authentically French. Starters of scallops (St. Jacques) were excellent - they were perfectly cooked and the plates were beautifully presented. The Beef Wellington, which in addition to Parma ham, contained some foie gras, was equally well cooked. Often, this dish comes in thick, dry crusty pastry but the LâArôme version was ideal. The meat was of high quality and accurately cooked to 'medium rare'. A confit de canard was also 'comme il faut'. Desserts of tarte au citron meringuee and macarons with ice-cream were excellent too. Once again, they were well presented and artfully gracing these dishes with edible flowers was a nice touch.Service in LâArôme was friendly, attentive and the staff were quite knowledgeable. It was also impressive to hear them singing 'Happy Birthday' in passable French to someone at a table nearby! From the moment you enter the restaurant you feel welcome and, evidently, the manager, Lucien Lv has trained his staff very well. Hopefully, they will be able to maintain this high standard.In summary, LâArôme more than fulfilled its promise - currently, I reckon it is the best French restaurant in Suzhou.
