Anniversary Dinner at La Petite Chaise

Our trip to Paris has been especially fun because we happened to be here on our annivesary. Parfait! For our anniversary dinner we decided to go to La Petite Chaise, the oldest restaurant in Paris. It was great for so many reasons. The restaurant happily accommodated the stroller, everyone who worked there was so friendly, the meal was very relaxed and the traditional French food was delicious.

Pour les entrées, soupe à l'oignon gratinée...(this soup was SUPERBE)...


...et six escargots de Bourgogne au beurre d'ail anisé. (That's right, folks, I ordered escargots. Nate is unfortunately allergic to shellfish, and escargots, interestingly enough, fall under that category. Too bad for him, they were splendid. Although, I'm a little sad I didn't get to dig them out of shells.)


Pour les plats, duisse de canard à l'orange, gratin de légumes...(that's orange duck with gratin potatoes...this was our favorite...the meat just fell off the bone, amazing)...


...et filet de bœuf grillé sauce bordelaise. (This was good too, but unfortunately we ordered it medium instead of medium rare...it came out a medium well and could have been AMAZING if it had been much "less cooked." So goes. Still an excellent meal. The sauce, ah, the sauce.)


Finalement, dessert! Délice de La Petite Chaise (sorbet mangue et cerise, griottes, chantilly…) et mousse au chocolat blanc avec sauce chocolat. The délice was a cherry & mango sorbet with a bunch of other yumminess. The white chocolate mousse was PERFECTION.
