There's really no other place I'd rather be in the summertime than Europe. Since that's not a possibility for me right now, I have to make do with my favorite European foods instead. This, in part, explains why I have been quite the fanatic pouring over my French cookbooks lately. Jacob obviously took notice and chose this newish French cafe that I had never seen before.
The food really was very good. The reasonable priced Bordeaux we had brought back a lot of memories for me. I really hadn't been purchasing any French wine since I'm been back stateside. One, it is so nice to have access to many local Californian wines, and two, the absured luxury tax on French wines is a deterrent.
For food, we started with bowls of steaming hot French onion soup. Yum. Life really doesn't get much better than that.
I followed with a tasty, reasonably-sized portion of vegetable quiche. It didn't earn any points for tradition, but instead had a wonderful, light (possibly healthier??!!??) crust. 60% of the reason I love quiche so much is the crust, but sometimes I feel a little guilty eating eat because I am very aware of the massive quantity of butter...
I don't remember what Jacob ordered, only that it was some sort of meaty, stewy dish that may not be on the regular menu. Jacob thought he had the coq au vin, but I certainly would have remembered him ordering that as his pronunciation is something like "cock a van."
Dessert at La Dijionaise is not to be missed. It was delicious. I was torn between the raspberry tart and the chocolate opera cake. The chocolate won and was heavenly. Jacob had something with chocolate mousse which he didn't rave about quite as much as I raved about mine.
Apologies for waiting so long to write this and can't remember the specifics. Definitely recommend the food at this place. Decor I wasn't too crazy about. I think they could have done a lot better. It just seemed too much like a chain (Starbucks comes ti mind). I can't put my finger on it, it just didn't seem original or something like that.
