🇫🇷 Philly｜How Can You Have French Without Foie Gras & Escargot? 🐌

A 16-year-old French bistro that definitely doesn’t disappoint 🍷. Small but cozy, with an old-money vibe — saw plenty of well-dressed older couples, so knew we were in the right place. Menu changes seasonally — perfect for dates or a relaxed drink. ✅ Recommendations: ✨ Escargots à la Bourguignonne – Must-order for French cuisine! No weird taste, though on the small side. Each comes with a toasted cheese crisp — rich and layered. (Arranged like a chessboard — almost wanted to play checkers 😅) ✨ Mousse de Foie Gras – Foie gras mousse with papaya jam — first time trying this combo! Delicious — foie lovers, go for it. ✨ Salmon en Croûte – Salmon “Wellington”-style 🐟🥐 — so creative! Puff pastry + salmon feels like a calorie bomb, but we’ll call it healthy fats 😂. Stuffed with spinach(?) — tasty anyway. ✨ Magret de Canard – Duck breast — tender, not gamey, generous portion. Duck fans, try this. 🍸 Drinks – Loved the Lillet Blanc — buying a bottle for home now. 📅 Book ahead — small space, limited seating. 📍 Bistrot la Minette Hours: Tue–Thu 5:30–9:30PM | Fri–Sat 5:30–10:30PM | Sun–Mon CLOSED #PhillyEats #FrenchBistro #BistrotLaMinette #FoieGras #Escargot #DateNight #FrenchFood
