The French mon jour means a good day, and the named Mon Jour French restaurant adheres to the concept of romance and beauty, and is located on the lakeview terrace of the West Lake International Trade Center on Hubin Road, facing the ancient Qiantang Gate of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Sixth Park of the lake, adjacent to the West Lake Music Fountain, and can overlook the beautiful scenery along the West Lake. Although it is located in the bustling business circle around the West Lake, Manru can achieve quiet in the middle of noisy, elegant style, and the dishes produced are a fusion of traditional French cuisine and Oriental Shanghai culture, and it is a petty bourgeois western restaurant that provides pure French food.

The restaurant uses authentic ingredients from around the world to create authentic French cuisine. The price of the classic double set meal in the restaurant is 980 yuan, the bread basket is served quickly before the meal, generally when the guests enter the door, the dining table begins to heat the bread for the guests at this table, when the guests finish ordering, the basket is immediately presented with full warmth, and the rhythm is high. The three different breads are grilled hot, specially modified for a soft texture, crunchy and sweet, and can be eaten with sweet and sour honey sauce or creamy butter sauce. The appetizer lemon foie gras mousse and the small custard look make you think it's a dessert at first glance. With Oreo chocolate biscuits as a base, a small cube of foie gras mousse is topped with lemon juice, and the entrance is as smooth as ice cream, and the sweetness of the mousse hides the original oiliness of the foie gras, which is very clever.

There are three types of soups: French mushroom bisque with black truffle, creamy pine nut pumpkin bisque, and French herb tomato bisque with Australian beef. Among them, the herb tomato soup has a different sour taste, the tomato flavor is rich, and the beef cloves are tender and chewy, which makes people appetize. There are three salads to choose from: classic Caesar salad, vanilla and jade snail salad, and shrimp and avocado salad. The most recommended is the vanilla jade snail salad, which is made of smooth green bean puree and purple cabbage leaves wrapped in Q-bomb snail meat, which is delicious with sauce and is very delicious. The other two dishes are classic, and the fruits and vegetables used are fresh and crisp, and they are not of the same standard. The side dish is pan-fried foie gras with cranberry juice, which is imported from France and has a rich and generous taste. The other dish is the mozzarella cheese gratin with Boston lobster, which is also worth trying.

After a few appetizers, it was finally the turn of the main course, and the restaurant's signature dish was M12 Wagyu beef with French cod. Australian purebred beef M9 is the highest grade, but Australian beef has a lighter meat taste, and M9 is only equivalent to Japan's A3 level. In order to pursue a higher level of beef quality, Australians began to research and breed Australian Wagyu beef more than ten years ago. Australian Wagyu cattle bred with Japanese breeding technology are bred from cows imported from Japan and American Angus cattle, and their meat flavor is stronger than that of M9 beef, so M10 to M12 are added to M9 above, and M12 beef is equivalent to Japanese A5 beef. Manru is one of the few western restaurants in Hangzhou where you can taste M12 grade wagyu beef, the M12 grade steak can be cut with a knife and fork lightly, the meat is very tender, the taste is plump, and it melts in the mouth. The silver cod next to it exudes a faint vanilla flavor, the meat is fresh and soft, and the bottom is cushioned with soft and delicate mashed potatoes, which is more abundant with food. In addition, there are volcanic charcoal grilled rosemary lamb chops, volcanic charcoal grilled lamb chops, fat and thin, tender meat, fragrant. Charcoal-grilled Australian Wagyu sirloin is tougher than M12 Wagyu beef, with firm and chewy meat, providing another taste option. Finally, the dessert French bree and French cappuni cheese are small and delicate, full of beauty, and finished with fruit yogurt cheese, and a complete Fine Dining dinner is completed.

The restaurant has terrace seating adjacent to the lake, and the roof is hung with small starry lights that cover the entire terrace, making it very romantic at night. Walking along the gravel path into the restaurant, you can see the metal walls, the cement gray floor with a sense of age, and a strong modern industrial atmosphere. The interior of the restaurant is uniformly made of plain and clean tablecloths, neatly furnished leather sofas make the space neat and comfortable, and copper chandeliers create a romantic dining atmosphere. The service staff of the restaurant are all professional hotel management backgrounds, and their manners are dignified and orderly, full of temperament, so that diners can immerse themselves in elegant and formal dining ceremonies. On weekends and special family holidays (e.g. Chinese Valentine's Day, etc.), violin performers will perform live. The fly in the ointment is that although the restaurant itself has a good environment, the shopping mall is noisy, and the environment is slightly dirty due to the large flow of people, which lowers the overall grade of the restaurant.
