My stomach is an empty pit this morning because I completely gorged myself last night at Poulet Bleu! I made reservations a month ago (that's how long the wait was) with two of my girlfriends and was dying from anticipation for the day to arrive! The restaurant is gorgeous inside and gives DiAnoia's some competition when it comes to beautiful interiors!
First things first....we over ordered...to the max. It wasn't a blind decision but our eyes grew 5 sizes over our stomachs! I personally ordered the tartare, gnocchi and macaroni. I will say that I wanted the carrots over the mac but we were sharing everything and the group won out. The tartare was amazing as expected. I also really enjoyed the gnocchi. The macaroni au gratin was good but I wouldn't suggest ordering my combination of foods because it got pretty rich, pretty quickly.
Though I loved what I ordered my favorite dishes were ordered by my friend. She ordered the frisee salad, mushroom vol-au-vent and the filet. Though we were sharing, I was very sad I didn't order the filet on my own because I would have been very selfish and eaten all of it. I have to say that it was the most tender and flavorful steak I have ever had the pleasure of eating. The frisee salad had a perfectly cooked egg with bacon lardon and a really good dressing. The mushroom vol-au-vent was so incredibly addicting! It was my favorite thing I ate. I wish I knew how to make a beautiful bordelaise sauce and would probably marry a man on sight if I knew he could make one!
On top of our immaculate ordering skills, they also gave us a complimentary side dish, which was the aligot potatoes! I have been really wanting to try them but eat healthy (like a nerd) when I cook at home. I was really excited to give them a taste and they did not disappoint! Who doesn't love potatoes whipped with so much cheese that they almost just become cheese? You also get a toffee with your check and that was delicious too! All across the board, I loved my meal and experience!!!
