It was my birthday on July the 8th & hubby and I headed to a local French restaurant called "Les Faux Bourgeois" to celebrate! We always wanted to try this place & it was the perfect occasion to do so. ^___^
This French cafe was on the smaller size, quite quaint- very romantic!!
The decor & everything was very minimal and just gives you the feeling like you are going to have a great time, whether it be grabbing a drink with your friends at the bar, family dinners, dinner date or having an intimate birthday dinner with your special guy/girl! They make use of natural light with their big front windows & minimal lighting to create a dark, romantic, inviting ambiance.
To start, the very French waiter (yes, he has that sexy French accent as well ladies!) gave us a basket of bread & butter. The bread had a soft texture and with butter, was delicious!
For appetizer, we got the beef carpaccio- which was on the special menu. This was soooo yummy! I found that you needed everything in a single bite to make it the best that it could be. Meaning, a piece of beef w/ the white sauce, capers, cheese & arugula w/ that oil, citrus dressing on top. Mmmm... I am drooling just writing this haha. Perfect start to my birthday dinner!
Hubby ordered the "bouillabaisse" which is a saffron broth full of snapper fish, prawns, clams, mussels and saffron sauce on top of garlic bread.
I had my fave- mussels! This bowl had a generous portion in it, I almost thought I couldn't finish it- but I did!! The garlic white whine sauce tasted so good that Hubby & I took the bread we got at the beginning of our meal and dipped it in that delicious-ness! So flavourful.
On the side of my mussels, it came with pomme frites (french fries) as well. They were perfectly seasoned & had a soft fluffy texture inside- yum! Along with it, came a garlic mayo sauce. Mussels & fries, perfect combo!
Les Faux Bourgeois & the best birthday present ever (my Hubby, Allan) made my evening super enjoyable! Definitely felt the romance & love on my special night.
Thank you so much for joining me on a special Foodie Friday adventure my loves! Wishing you all an amazing weekend!!
Love, Linda
