Food was typical French food I guess. When I went to culinary school many years ago at Le Cordon Bleu, this is what we made. Very simple, classic French. So when we dined here, my memories of culinary school came back, for some it might be what they enjoy, but for me, not so much. Thought French food back then wasn’t up my alley and still don’t. But my wife wanted to try classic French food in France, so we gave it a try.
Take my negative thoughts of French flavors out of the equation, because that’s subjective, I will only comment on the quality and execution of the food.
My wife ordered the duck breast and I ordered the steak frites. The duck was very tough, but the wife enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. I only had one bite, which was tough. My wife struggled cutting it and she also commented how tough it was. Mashed potatoes were ok, nothing that blew us away.
I had the steak and it was tough as well. I ordered medium rare, but it was pretty blue and was not medium rare. Sauce was very salty. Fries were average.
Service was good.
Overall. Even with my thoughts on classic French, I really didn’t think this place nailed the basics. You can say I’m being a little critical, but this style of cooking is basic and to be below or at average is unacceptable. Plus, I feel the quality of proteins was not outstanding.
This experience reminded me why I don’t cook or eat French food, with exception of pastries, after I finished culinary school.
