Benoit, Paris.

classic french bistrot dining at Alain Ducasse’s Benoit.

established in 1912.

“B”

cheese bread. amazing. chewy, cheesy, slightly crispy on the outside.

foie gras de canard confit, with brioche parisienne toast. (not pictured)

cookpot of spinach and chestnut stuffed mushrooms.  stewed in beef broth, with herbs. so delicious. vegetables never tasted this good.

crayfish soup with cream + chives.

mine: daily special entree: pork chop. it was soft, cooked medium, with garlic. it cut like a prime rib.

b’s house cassoulet. it was brought to the table in a rather large + heavy cookpot of beans, pork, duck, and then plated. it could have easily served 2-3.

frozen souffle of orange with grand marnier. too big to finish, because it wasn’t fluffy like a baked souffle.

gateau chocolat. chocolate cake with crispy praline, hazelnut ice cream and cracker.

YUM. the ice cream was so delicate and smooth that it melts instantly in your mouth.

seriously good food!
