LaSalle

What strikes you first is the architecture: a clean glass box set within the steel girders and peeling paint of a one-time factory hall with a sumptuous white chandelier hanging from the steel and glass ceiling, a touch of extravagance within the cool functionalism. LaSalle successfully combines the elegance of white tablecloths with an urban relaxedness. The menu is also a combination, of Italian and French influences with the occasional detour, like the octopus-papaya salad. Fish is a standard feature, as are the wonderfully tender home-made ravioli or the liver of veal which was cooked to perfection. Excellent cuisine in a refreshing and elegant setting – definitely recommended.
