Revisits in 2026:
I don't know what happens exactly, but this is not the same Passé compose as it used to be years ago. Foods are different; location is different; not the same vibe as all.
Original review year back:
Great experience! Creative presentation of food. Good quality food & very nice service. The smoothie is on another level. Ramen is also amazingly good (using pasta noodle instead of regular ramen noodle.)
The French toast is more like a deep fried bun in Chinese hotpot restaurants. Not recommended for Chinese like me.
Absolutely fantastic gourmet French breakfast
Worth the walk from old city
High end ingredients
Service was a little overwhelmed

Had high expectations but were sadly let down. While the service was great the food was not. There was a general lack of flavour across all our dishes. French toast was especially poor.
Everything was excellent. Sadly, the machine for caffeinated beverages was out of order that morning with servicing promised for the afternoon. I have no doubt that the meal was very authentic French cuisine. Unfortunately, having spent decades in California now, I simply could not handle the salt & oil levels after I exhausted the slice of bread that was part of the bone marrow & duck leg brunch entree. I had a similar epiphany at nearby Vallier which was also excellent. The depth of flavor is amazing. Rich, decadent, old school
Been here twice & it's been a solid 10/10 both times. The presentation, food, & service are all immaculate. Every dish offers a new taste to explore. We tried the Foie Gras, Rustic & the French Toast & I'll definitely be back to try more!
Nice atmosphere. The decor is interesting to look at. The space is a little tight (seated at a table of 4 quite close to other tables).
Food (picky eater)
The water is potable but the glass smelled funky (fyi no fruits).
The Contre-Filet de Boeuf Rôtis was unimpressive. I liked the rösti, the vegetables, & the pickled pearl onions. The rosbif was grey but tender which allowed the spotlight to be the duck egg but it's the usual egg trade-off of completely runny yolk = some slimy whites.
Note: the Champêtre was more to my palate.
The fries were decent but their house mayo tasted fishy?
We did not try any drinks.
Service was nice.
(context: reservation, 4 people, on time, 1hr before closing)
We were greeted at the door (possibly because only the entering left door opens: outwards) we were seated with water after checking our reservation with the host. We looked over the menu & our waiter seamlessly came to take our orders. While we waited for our food our waters were consistently refilled. (It looked as though we waited longer for our meals than other tables & the plates were staggered 3 + 1)
At closing a busser came to pick up our plates & their manner was more abrasive than that of our waiter (they both asked before even gesturing to take each of our plates away)
Minimum suggested tip is 18% on the card reader.
Side note for the menu
Some item names are different in French & English & when the runners come to deliver the plates they say the French names.
There is a paper divider between French & English.
When comparing items menu to menu with a friend some were not in the same spots & it was a little confusing.
Bad & slow service, & incredibly pricey in a way that isn't represented in the dishes or experience. Not sure they had enough servers working. Didn't get menus for 15 mins after being sat for a reservation, didn't get drinks until after food was brought out. Food came out & sat for 10 mins while we waited for cutlery & napkins to eat with. We watched a dog get sat outside & given a bowl of water before we got our drinks. Two stars for the French toast & sides, the duck confit with marrow was way too rich & imbalanced. French toast was heavy & greasy but tasted good, with fruit to balance heaviness, nothing special. Wouldn't go back, wouldn't recommend. Best part of our visit was the playlist. A note for tea drinkers - they don't have a way for you to pour all your tea at once when steeped. so any cup beyond your first will be bitter as there's no way to remove the loose leaves they give for the tea. The leaves arent also fully filtered so you will get leaves in your cup.
I tried two items out of their brunch menu + two smoothies, the Rustic & the French Toast + Strawberry & Dubia Royal smoothies.
If you like mushrooms, you would absolutely love the Rustic, it was very delicious & well-made dish, I enjoyed it a lot! On the other hand, however, the French Toast was the worst I've ever had in my entire life, & I'm a person who loves French Toast! Nevertheless, this was so poorly done that I couldn't even finish one of the breads out of the two, it was fried with something like bread crumbs on top, it was too greasy, & had an awful texture.
Regarding the smoothies, the Strawberry one was very delicious, but I wasn't a big fan of their Dubai Royal.
As for their service, both times they brought my smoothie almost at the end of my meal. When I requested to take the rest with me, they brought me the to-go glass on the table to do it myself!! This is not a service one would expect to receive in a restaurant on this level & with this vibe.
