The restaurant is known for serving the finest verified Angus beef, setting towering standards for marbling and tenderness \u2014 diners can expect every meal to be full of robust flavours and textures. Steaks are prepared according to request and are accompanied by salad and a free flow of the trademark house-made French fries!<\/p>\n<p>The kitchen is helmed by Chef Mika, Chef de Cuisine of the group\u2019s three restaurants, two in Singapore (at Ann Siang Hill and Robertson Quay) and one in Puteri Harbour, Johor. Describing himself as \u201cpassionate, detailed and a perfectionist\u201d, he started work in the kitchen when he was only 15, thus achieving his childhood ambition at a tender age. One of his role models is the late Frenchman Paul Bocuse, an iconic chef strongly associated with French nouvelle cuisine. He also hopes to work with another French chef, Philippe Etchebest, known for his strong personality and ability to motivate fellow chefs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7377 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/LesBouchons_00047.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/LesBouchons_00047.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/LesBouchons_00047-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/LesBouchons_00047-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/LesBouchons_00047-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/LesBouchons_00047-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Citing the adherence to classical cooking techniques as an ingredient in Les Bouchons\u2019 success, the specialist in traditional French cuisine puts his skills to good use in dishing up mouthwatering specialties such as <em>C\u00f4te de Boeuf<\/em> (Bone-in Ribeye) \u2014 to be shared between two people \u2014 and <em>Grilled Black Angus Sirloin Steak with Vigneron Butter<\/em>.
