bonjour,

southern French food. Had an incredibly delicious dinner at Saveurs today. It was my second time eating there, but this time we went for dinner. We were the only five in the place, which caught me by surprise because when we went last time it was packed, and reservations were definitely a must. Then again, it is Wednesday night. As always, pictures:

cauliflower puree soup sprinkled with ground black pepper

1st layer = marinated shrimp with pesto
2nd layer = salad with lemon vinaigrette
3rd layer: tomato mozzarella pie (phyllo dough)

dory filet with orange rosemary paprika sauce, potato au gratin (so heavenly), broccoli

the ideal end to a great meal: peach pie with a crackly top crust and egg tart filling. not as sweet as I was expecting, but very very yumyum!

Okay, so now you probably all think I'm a pig. But the food at Saveurs is all quite healthy - barely any grease (I mean, generally, French food isn't anyway), and best of all it's all cooked with heart and soul. There is only one chef - who is from Bordeaux, France, so it is authentic, "homey" French food ^_^
