The French restaurant at the Lamborghini Academy once stood at the commanding heights of Suzhou's Western cuisine, and Danny's Kitchen was well-known inside and outside the circle. In the early days, the hotel's western restaurant was outsourced, and Dennis's kitchen was managed by an all-foreign team. After 2015, Dennis's kitchen changed the chef team twice, and the quality of the products declined significantly. After 2017, the hotel took back its own operation and changed its name to LE LAC.

Although it is still known as a French restaurant, there is still a certain gap between LE LAC and the former Dennis's kitchen. Local chef Johnny Tao has injected a lot of imagination and creativity into the menu, which makes LE LAC unique among many mediocre Western restaurants in Suzhou, but there is still a lot of room for improvement and polishing in the details of the dishes and the combination of dishes.

The roasted bone marrow in the appetizer is one of the specialties of LE LAC. The bone marrow is solidified under high temperature roasting, and simmering to keep the internal temperature and the outer skin crispy, with only a little seasoning, and the taste is thick; The garlic snails in the side dish are fresh and hot, tender and springy like abalone, and the onion chips and butter bread are slightly deflated. The bone marrow is very fatty, but LE LAC does not treat the excess oil in any way, and there is no option to relieve the greasy on the side dishes. Another appetizer, marinated scallops, is also unadorned with the flaws of the main ingredient, and the citrus juice does not dissolve the fishy smell of the thin slices of scallops, making the taste shallow and alienated. The lightly fried foie gras, a typical dish of French cuisine, LE LAC, has a decent performance, high doneness, and an older taste.

Among the soups and salads, the Marseille fish soup and smoked duck salad are the most prominent. The Marseille fish soup is a traditional popular delicacy in the south of France, and LE LAC's Marseille fish soup is a simplified version of the grouper, which is delicate, slightly sour, rich in seafood soup, and served with Parmesan cheese breadsticks and tarragon mayonnaise, which can be dipped in the soup. The fishy smell of fish soup is unavoidable, and it is recommended to squeeze lemon juice to remove the fishy flavor. The smoked duck salad is also remarkable, the duck breast is processed at a low temperature, the meat is pink and tender, and there is no duck smell, the sorbet, leek, pear and hickory give a rich taste, and the bitterness of fresh chicory is taken away by the sweet and sour taste of passion fruit and mango, and the overall taste is refreshing. If you try the grilled bone marrow in an appetizer, this salad is effective in slowing down the greasy sensation, clearing out the aftertaste and lifting the palate.

The main course is smoked beef filet, Australian grain-fed Wagyu beef is cooked at a low temperature in 55 degrees water, and then smoked with apple wood, the moisture of the beef is retained to the maximum, the shell is fragrant, the meat is soft and solid, the taste is quite satisfying, and the side dish is roasted potatoes and gourd slices with acceptable taste. The French farmer's roast chicken is also quite distinctive, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the heat is just right, and the plate is lined with a large number of preserved pine nuts and decorative leaves, which is a little simple and simple.

Among the desserts, all kinds of sorbet are worth recommending, the so-called sorbet is a fruit sorbet, made only of fresh fruits, with both the delicate and dense ice cream and the cold taste of smoothie, LE LAC provides mango sorbet, strawberry sorbet, lemon sorbet and other flavor options, fruity, refreshing taste is not easy to greasy. The wheel puff is the first brand in desserts, the ring puff shaped like a wheel is hollowed out in the middle, the skin is crispy and slightly soft and glutinous, and the inside is filled with hazelnut jam, and the sweetness is very dense; Caramel hazelnut butter and snowflake sugar decorated with flowers, the whole work is full of sweetness, which seems to be contaminated with the habit of heavy sweetness in Suzhou, if the acceptance of sweets is not high, it is not recommended to order.

LE LAC is located on the shore of Jinji Lake, where the Tonino Lamborghini Book Garden Hotel is located in a relatively secluded location, the environment is very quiet, and the architectural complex integrates Soviet-style garden elements with modern look. The western restaurant has a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass, facing Jinji Lake, you can choose the outdoor dining area when the weather is good, the lake view is open, and you can see the Oriental Gate and other landmark buildings. The interior of the restaurant is classic and elegant, and the lighting at night creates a dim atmosphere, which is suitable for dates. The welcome and reception service are thoughtful, and the service attitude during the meal is friendly and courteous, but the service efficiency and service initiative need to be improved.
