Local French dining

Posted on October 25, 2024 by Ella

Tonight we headed for French cuisine right down the street at Le Robinet d’Or Restaurant & Bar Canal Saint Martin.

Aperol spritz for me, Peligrino for Grubb

I had roasted Camembert with honey to start and creamy risotto with scallops for my main. Delicious.

Grubb had cassoulet of scallops in cream to start and flambéed kidneys with roasted potatoes as his main.  Served with Dijon mustard. Made all the difference.

    Love to hear about the food, especially at the golden faucet.

    Maybe somebody read my comment about “rognon a la moutarde”? YES.

      Happened to be on the “specials” list. And the moutarde was key!
