A couple of days ago, I met my friends Eliana and Ghada,
my “Team”, to have dinner in a restaurant that we found in Internet. I am not
going to mention the name of that restaurant, but it was a very disappointing surprise
to find out that the place we were looking for does not exist.
We decided to move on. At the end, we were very lucky.
There was a French restaurant nearby. We took a look and we felt that it was a
very cozy place with a real French flavor. My “Team” shares not only a passion
for good food, but a passion for French language as well. This was our opportunity to have a French Gathering.
The restaurant is Le Paradis; we felt very comfortable in that place.
I started with a petit plat: Calamars à la
Méditerranéenne, a dish with a squid with a bean purée and
Fresh salad.
Then we asked for a Tajine de légumes, a mixture of
Couscous and slow cooked vegetables using north African spices. This dish shows
a fusion of French and Moroccan cuisine.
Another dish with same fusion was Lamburger à la Marocaine, a Hamburger using Lamb meat and North African spices, with melted Emmenthal cheese and salad, accompanied with the classic French Fries (les frites).
Then we had Crevettes et avocat, Shrimp with
avocado salad.
We finish our visit with the dessert. The choices: Tarte citron, Balthazar
(A chocolate cake with almonds) and tarte du jour (cake of the
day, that day was an almond cake). It was a great final for our visit.
