| - Parfait! I enjoyed a perfect meal Thank you Karen W. for recommending the French Onion Soup at Coup Des Tartes and making time for a double Yelp luncheon. Chef prepared a perfectly balanced soup between wine and broth with tender onions. A crouton is baked over with Swiss Gruyere cheese ($10).
For the main meal, I had the Croque Monsieur, a toasted sandwich filled with Mornay sauce, ham, and baked over with Swiss Gruyere. OMG, to die for! The sandwich comes with a choice of Yukon potatoes or salad. The fresh greens lightly dressed in vinaigrette cut the richness of the sandwich beautifully. The portions are large. French cuisine that comes in American portions. Brilliant! My family enjoyed the half I took home.
I had the opportunity to taste the Salmon Nicoise. A generous portion of salmon came with blanched green beans, hard boiled eggs, tomato wedges and in a bed of greens. This came with the classic Nicoise vinaigrette. If you don't see it on the menu, ask for it.
This strategy afforded us the ability to enjoy dessert. We got a 4 berry tart a la mode, and a banana creme brulee. Sadly, I forgot to ask if the tart had nuts. It came with toasted almonds. My Karen generously let me have most of the Banana Creme Brulee with a chocolate crust drizzled with caramel and chocolate sauces.
Patty, our server was hospitable and knowledgeable about the menu. Ron, the owner of Coup des Tartes visited with us and presented the dessert options to us. The atmosphere was charming and a 5 Star experience all round.
