Coq au Vin
From Les Halles - Coral Gables, FL
No cooking this weekend, but I did go to Les Halles. The coq au vin was tasty, but it didn't blow my mind. I don't recall if the last time we ate there the food was better, so maybe I'll just conclude that I'm not crazy about French food. I also have to admit that although I'm determined to be fluent in French, I don't care much for the language either. It doesn't sound as beautiful to me as it does to others, and speaking it is a bit of a pain.
It didn't help that the day before we ate at Fratelli Lyon which had amazing food. It definitely earned its place among my favorite Miami restaurants and it is in fierce competition with Cacao for where I would like to go to eat dinner on my birthday with the family. I had chestnut pasta with wild mushrooms and truffle butter. It was divine.
