L’idiot seem to be setting the bar for business lunches right now. Full disclosure – I love me some business lunch deals, with places like Yo Sushi<\/span><\/strong><\/a> taking some beating for value. Sometimes they can be a bit of a nightmare if it’s in a busy part of town as the place gets rowdy and too busy to quality control the lunches (a little bit like Steak Inn’s business lunch<\/span><\/strong><\/a>), but L’idiot is not one of those places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here at L’idiot, a business lunch<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is going to set you back $799\/person, and it is worth every penny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you walk in, it has the grandeur and the open space which means you will not be sat on the lap of the person on the table next to you, and you will feel comfortable as you eat. The d\u00e9cor of the restaurant is classy, but not overly ostentatious or garish. L’idiot really manage to strike the balance of Italian cottage come restaurant, with (relatively) fine-dining, quite nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At L’idiot, on top of your $799\/person, expect to be shelling out a few more dollars ($80\/person, to be exact) for some free-flowing mineral or sparkling water. I don’t mind this, as I rarely pair my meal with a drink other than water, but some people would mind this if they wanted water and other drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bread
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First up on L’idiot’s business lunch menu is the bread, which is going to come with a selection of toppings\/accompaniments\/spreads. Presumably they remain the same again and again here at L’idiot, but I will have to confirm that on another visit (oh no, I’ll have to go again and eat delicious Italian food, what a shame\u2026). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a fairly non-descript tahini-like spread, a chutney-like spread, and then a cheese-based spread. They were all OK, but not worth going for if that’s the only thing you were interested in. They seemed like they were all made in-house here at L’idiot, which always ticks the positive box. If you are interested in a good salad, then check out what’s happening below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Salad
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We went for 1 caesar salad, and 1 garden salad. They were both good, but if I had to choose only one again, I would go for the caesar salad. Why? Well, I love cheese. So, anything with cheese on it almost automatically goes to the top of the pile. But, other than the cheese, I think the sauce was a little tastier, and the overall value was slightly better than the garden salad. What the garden salad did have going for it, though, is the addition of the okra and the wax apple. Is that enough to sway you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Soup
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On L’idiot’s business lunch menu, the soup changes on a daily (probably more realistic is to say weekly) basis. Here we had their pumpkin soup. It was good, but I wouldn’t order if it ordering \u00e0 la carte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
