French cuisine is best enjoyed at a cozy family restaurant! đ˝ď¸â¤ď¸
As the saying goes, âIf you listen to advice, youâll have a full belly.â I donât know if this applies everywhere, but the restaurants recommended by friends have been pretty great! đ Plus, I donât mind trying popular spots as long as the food is delicious and the wait isnât too long! âłâ¨ The joy of exploring restaurants lies in the uncertaintyâeach visit is like opening a mystery box! đ If you enjoy the thrill of surprises, why not join me in opening a French cuisine mystery box? Itâs super exciting! This restaurant doesnât take reservations, so I arrived at 3:30 PM and waited about half an hour for a tableâa great place for solo diners! đ If you want to reserve a spot, it seems you need to call ahead, preferably before 11:30, but I didnât catch all the details. Based on my appetite, I ordered an appetizer and a main course. For the appetizer, I had Duck Foie Gras Mille-Feuille with Figs Jam, and for the main course, I chose Lamb Shank with Figs and Prunes. The appetizer truly amazed me; it was my first time trying foie gras! It didnât have any overwhelming organ meat taste and was incredibly smooth, almost like a sandwich (not quite!). The sweet and savory combination was as creative as ever, and I love how fruit jams are used in Western cuisine; they can really enhance the flavor and provide a refreshing touch. There were two generous slices of foie gras served with two slices of bread and fig jam. đ⨠The lamb shank was comparatively less impressive, but still performed well overall. It was well-balanced; even though it was a large piece of lamb, it came with sides. This lamb shank reminded me of the stewed veal I had last time, with a hint of honey and herbal flavor. As I enjoyed my meal, I thought it might be due to the spices they used to mask the gamey taste, which gave it that herbal quality. The figs absorbed all the flavorsâif youâre not a fan of that taste, you might want to skip the figs, as theyâre more potent. Other than that, there were no drawbacks; it was tender and not greasy at all, and I have a high tolerance for leaner meats. The sauce was incredibly rich! đđ˛ đ°: âŹ36 #FrenchCuisine #RestaurantRecommendation #Dining #HiddenGems #Paris #France #ParisianLife #FoodAndFun #EatingAndDrinkingIsSeriousBusiness #GlobalFoodieSquad
