The
eclectic surroundings
complimented the very
intellectualized menu
selections which we
perused on a sheet of
plain white paper.
I went with the
"Goat Cheese
Napolean, Basil-Greens
Salad, Balsamic Vinaigrette
13" to start
followed by the smaller
portion of the
"Rack of Lamb,
Figs-Crumb Crust,
Ratatouille, Israeli
Cous-Cous 19/31."
My guest selected the
"Grilled Hanger
Steak, Frites, Cabernet
Sauvignon Reduction
17/27."
As
you can see, the prices
are far from cheap, but diners
can bring their own wine
to add to the experience
and possibly save a
couple of dollars in the
process. The bread
with olive oil to start
the meal was very good
and more was offered
which is always nice.
My salad arrived with a
plate to share and it
was a very generous
portion, perfectly dressed
and the Goat Cheese
Napolean was
exceptional.
My
Rack of Lamb (smaller
portion) turned out to
be two lamb chops
perfectly cooked with
the ratatouille over
Israeli Cous-Cous.
The lamb was a little
bland for my taste but
the rest was very tasty.
The whole meal left me
full but not overloaded
and the meal was pricey but
definitely worth it.
I drink Coke and they
serve it at Cafe Monet
in little bottles which
are probably pricey.
The little bottles were
bottled in America and I
would have preferred the
Mexican Coke since
they are going to the
trouble of buying the
bottles. Mexican
Coke is made how
American Coke used to be
with pure cane sugar and
the taste difference is
distinctive and
superior. My
guest enjoyed the Hanger
Steak and remarked that
the Cabernet Sauvignon
Reduction added much to
the dish. All in
all the experience at
Cafe Monet was a very
pleasant one. -
