π€ Boeuf Bourguignon: A massive portion of beef stewed in red wine, with a rich and aromatic sauce. The meat is tender and flavorful, falling apart at the touch of a fork. The unexpected addition of bacon bits adds a delightful crunch. πThe side dishes include small onions, potatoes, and carrots, with the potatoes being particularly fragrant and delicious. π π€ Rack of Lamb: An enormous portion of lamb rack, cooked to a perfect medium. The sauce has a slightly sweet profile, likely enhanced by red wine, but it stands distinct from the beef dish. πΈThe accompanying spinach puree is incredibly creamy, mixed with a generous amount of butter β so rich that you have to stop yourself from overindulging! π Overall Review: I booked this highly-rated French restaurant in New York with high expectations. At first glance, the menu seemed a bit underwhelming, with nothing particularly standout except for the pΓ’tΓ© and escargot. π However, as each dish arrived, my initial disappointment turned into delight. I realized that the true charm of French cuisine might not lie in the ingredients themselves, but in the exquisite seasoning. There's nothing more quintessentially French than a rich, savory red wine sauce. π½οΈ π Le Gigot 18 Cornelia St #1, New York π’ #FrenchCuisine #NewYorkDining #NYCExploration ππ
