I just found a new French restaurant that I can frequent often without breaking the bank! Delicious & authentic (with a modern twist) french food, no pretentious service nor lavish menus.I would love to come back here again and again!
-Mange de la betterave (roasted beet salad) - $8
The roasted beetroot had this wonderful earthy and sweet taste to it. With every bites, you are getting a subtle crunch and hint of sharpness from the beet chips. The pickled red onion with cumin gave the salad a nice "pick me up" while the goat cheese added some tanginess.
-Tarte Provencale - $9
The first bite of the tarte greets you with a crisp, crumbly crust that is buttery and the juicy tomatoes provided a nice brightness and acidic accent. The goat cheese brought a creamy and salty elements to the tarte. The overall dish were sweet yet savory with the flavorful infusion of (I believe) rosemary and thyme.
-La Ratatouille - $12
For a vegetarian dish, the ratatouille was incredibly flavorful with the vegetables had softened to the perfect consistency, becoming one dish while still maintaining their individual flavors. I loved the smokiness from the eggplant which contrasted with the sweetness from the red peppers, topped it all off with parmigiano that provided a strong & sharp flavor to the dish.
-Souris D'Agneau Grand-Mere (braised lamb shank) - $21
The trio of flavor of white kidney beans, lamb and rosemary is indisputable. The lamb shank was incredibly tender, fell off the bone goodness. The hearty confit tomato kidney beans and rich red wine sauce added another level of heartiness to the dish.
-Tarte Tatin - $6
The golden pastry crust was perfectly crispy, layered with soft apples bathed in caramel and their own sweet juices. The tarte was then topped with an airy puff of whipped creme, which I swear was infused with a tea flavor that was not overly sweetened.
