french cuisine

B2 and I went out for some delicious French food last night at a restaurant in Victoria named Matisse. It was, without question, one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything about it – the atmosphere, the music, the company and of course the food was completely romantic. I was loving life. We started with French Sauv Blanc, and two appy’s: a delicious medley of in-season mushrooms, baked in a casserole dish with goat cheese and a baked asparagus with the best sauce of my life. I think I blacked out when the main courses arrived, because I can barely remember the conversation or what our dishes were named, all I remember is feeling like I was in heaven. I love it when food is so great it does that to you. Every meal should be like that! Our dessert was insane – a giant crème brulee and a chocolate mousse with raspberry coulis and heated red wine chocolate sauce. Just thinking about it again makes me delirious.



It’s pretty cliché, and I know everyone and their dog is doing this right now because of Julie & Julia, but I think I might look into purchasing Julia Child’s cookbook, because the French know where it’s at!
