We had a great departing lunch at Mon Ami Gabi this last Sunday. Mon Ami is one of my faves in town for lunch. Not so much at night, but almost always for lunch. I love to sit in the atrium and people watch.
We ate and drank some truly fine French bistro food.
T and I started with a dozen oysters. The waistress said they were most like Fanny Bays, but I thought these were smaller and sweeter. Delish. Lots of lemon, mignonette with tons of shallots and fresh grated horseradish.
D started with the frisee au lardon (frisee and bacon salad here in the US where they are probably afraid of the word lardons.) Because I had this for my entree I can comment upon it. It was delicious. Poached egg, slightly warm frisee, lots of chunks of bacon. Light vinaigrette. V good.
For an entree C had the Croque Monsieur, which was a little unorthodix because it was not open face. However, it had tons of cheese and ham. It was really a lovely tasty sandie.
T and I both drank glasses of a French Vouvray that was enormously delicious. It had an ever so slight effervescence. And the price was right, 9.50 on the wine list.
I took off one star because their fries suck azz. They anger me.
