Miam miam
Frenchie Looks like other Paris bistros - but chef Gregory Marchand's cuisine is tops.
Caille. betterave, navet, groseille
Chou rave, jus de moule de Penestins
Canard, courgette, cerise
Maigre, bouillon de tomate acidule, haricot Barlotti
Good plain rustic bread to sop up every last drop of delicious sauce.
Fraise, fromage blanc, pistache
Abricot, framboise, basilique, glace au miel.
South African children don't throw food. They clean their plates even if occasionally checking their video games or giving their sister's hair a good yank.
Was it c'est si bon?
Absolutement oui.
Fresh flavours, yet complex and layered. One bite and you wonder how so much poetry can be happening in your mouth. Other's have described Frenchie far better than I can here.

DeleteChef Gregory Marchand's plates look like beautiful abstract paintings. He must have been a pastry chef at one time - the colors!
Oh yum. Beats the Doritos I just ate for breakfast...
ReplyDeleteTHIS is an outrage!
DeleteNo harpist worth her strings could let something so unpoetic pass her lips!
I am dis-inviting you to breakies :(
With food this beautiful I don't have to know what it is, as long as it tastes as beautiful.

The food looks beautiful, and great shots of the kids and mom, too
ReplyDeleteOh and I just got home late from work and vegemite on toast for dinner because I couldn't be bothered with anything proper.... Frenchie has gone straight onto my to do list for next year- it looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThis dinner looks good... I remember of a strange dessert there : a chocolate sponge cake with bacon !
ReplyDeleteBacon isn't 'IN' this year I think...
DeleteI tasted chocolate-covered bacon at the NY choc show and it was GREAT!!
Hi carol

I want to say what a pleasure it was to see the little girl eating so nicely with her knife and fork. I say this because my son, who was taught, has not bothered to teach his children how to use their cutlery properly nor how to use their knives never mind about how to place them when they've finished eating.
