LA Pretty Meal π΄ο½My Personal Dessert Heaven French Restaurant π₯
Craving French food the other day, so we discovered this spot in Santa Monica β right next to Giorgio Baldi. The restaurant is small but beautifully decorated β super romantic and perfect for a date. For starters, we ordered tuna tartlets and brioche π π Tuna Tartlets β tiny but packed with flavor, totally addictive. π Brioche β insanely fragrant! Combined with butter, it was divine β I could easily have eaten two plates. For mains, we got the baby chicken and pesto pasta. π Baby Chicken β perfectly tender and juicy, with fresh, crisp snow peas π« π Creste di Gallo with Basil Pesto β deliciously balanced sauce, not too heavy, with a lingering hint of basil.ππ Also tried the serverβs recommendation β Panisse (fried chickpea fries) β crispy outside, fluffy inside, super flavorful! π Dessert completely stole the show β they brought out a whole platter of dessert samples, and every one looked incredible! We ended up choosing the Vanilla St. Honore and a mango sorbet. π Vanilla St. Honore β the cream was perfectly sweet, not cloying, with a lovely aftertaste. It had crunchy pearls for texture and an incredibly crisp base β an amazing combo.ππ π Mango Sorbet β refreshing, smooth, and not too sweet. ββ The pastry here is absolutely exceptional β the bread from the starters and all the desserts were made by their pastry chef. Everything was stunning from the first bite β fragrant, rich in texture, unforgettable. When we left, they even gave us a handwritten note β so genuine and sweet. π MUSE π 108 W Channel Rd, Santa Monica, CA 90402 #RestaurantVibes #LAEats #FrenchCuisine #PrettyFood #FrenchPastry #DateNightSpot
