Another Visit to Frenchie!

To celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary Melanie and I returned to one of our all time favorite restaurants: Frenchie, in the 2nd arrondissement.

There is no set menu at Frenchie, all diners are served the same 5 course tasting menu, which changes every couple of weeks. For our anniversary we included some amazing wine pairings as an accompaniment. (You might note that there are 7 pictures below, this is because the meal also includes an "amuse bouche" and a "pre-dessert".)

Smoked eel broth with crunchy eel and quail eggs

Foie Gras with powdered celery and mint

Marinated eel with cauliflower done seven ways (plus some super fresh beets!)

Pollock wrapped in zucchini blossoms with pureed zucchini and fried gnocchi

Roasted squab with red fruit (good, but probably our least favorite)


Meringue sticks with mint, berries, and clotted cream

Chocolate mousse ribbons with white chocolate discs and vanilla gelato
