Bon Appetit! La Boutique ranked first in Trip Advisor's The Best 10 Davao City Restaurant with a Certificate of Excellence to boot. After trying no. 4, Lachi's Sans Rival Atbp on the list and enjoyed, our expectations were soaring for this French-owned restaurant.

| Bienvenue! |
The small restaurant is emanating with class. Its violet logo exudes regal-pride and its interior dramatically lighted. Bon Appetit's vibe is different from Lachi's.
 |
| What's on the menu |
While enjoying the ambiance, a complimentary black olives tapenade and caviar were served. The bread itself is already good. Not sweet and starchy. The caviar is divine, literally and figuratively. But it only just begun.
 |
| Oh the olives! |
 |
| Caviar feat bread |
From the menu, picked two kinds of pasta. Penne Roquefort et Noix (Penne with Roquefort Cheese and Walnut Sauce) at Php 375 was divine! It went well with the al dente penne. So cheesey and creamy though I cannot much fathom where the walnut goes. Just the same, it was exploding with flavors.
 |
| Enjoy every bite |
We thought that the Linguine Carbonara (Pasta Carbonara) at Php 300 will taste the same since they look alike (only of course the pasta looks different) but Penne Roquefort et Noix was a whole lot better. Not to say that it wasn't good because it was.

Also tried blog suggestion of Fricassee de Poulet and Potato Gratin (Sliced Chicken Fillet cooked with Cream, Herbs, and Mushroom) at Php 275 and it was heavenly. The meat was cooked right and the flavors of cream and herbs were complementing each other.
 |
| Rich. Creamy |
Last had fish in the form of Filet de Saumon Grillé Sauce Gingembre (Pan-Seared Salmon Fillet with Ginger Sauce) at Php 475. This one is excellent, too! It has a tinge of zest that I love. Compared to potato gratin and marbled potato (because they will ask to choose), I enjoyed the marble more.

| Salmon is Saumon in French |
It was a gastronomic (and a bit expensive) treat in Davao.
