๐ฝ๏ธ New York Solo Dining Chronicles | The Renowned Le Veau d'Or ๐
๐Le Veau d'Or has been around for ages, and it seems to have high ratings both domestically and internationally. The current establishment feels like a classic reborn, with traditional French decor and cuisine. The flavors lean heavily towards a rich, savory gravy tasteโnothing too surprising, but solidly executed. Reservations for dinner used to be quite challenging, but the recent introduction of lunch service has made it much more accessible. ๐ Le Foie de Veau ๐ข๐ The calf's liver was a standout. The exterior was crispy while the inside remained tender, carrying a distinct liver flavor that was surprisingly delicate. As someone who enjoys liver dishes, I was quite pleased. The accompanying red onions added a fragrant touch. ๐ Tripes ร la Mode๐ I was really looking forward to the stewed and roasted tripe, which also included some oxtail parts. However, it was a bit of a letdown. The acidity from the wine-stewed preparation was quite pronounced, and it didn't balance well with the savory flavors. Instead of being comforting, it felt a bit sour and off-putting. ๐ Chocolate Mousse The dessert was a rich and smooth chocolate mousse, with a soft, airy texture that melted in the mouth. ๐ซ ๐ข๐ Martini "Our Way" This martini was paired with sparkling water, making it a refreshing and invigorating choice. The wine was also served very generouslyโquite satisfying! ๐ฅ #NYCAdventures ๐ #NYCLife ๐
