Way back when, a bunch of foodies including myself met up for dinner at Elle M’a Dit. Although, the restaurant has officially closed its doors last month, it was quite a delightful dinner that I never got around to blogging. Yet, here I am editing photos and writing up a post about a restaurant that I wish I visited more often. Nonetheless, I still wish to share with you guys my first time indulging in a modern Alsatian (French & German) cuisine.
Traditional tarte flambée ($10.00)
- bacon, onion, fromage blanc, gruyère cheese
Duck tarte flambée ($11.00)
- duck confit, potato, onion, fromage blanc, gruyère cheese
Foie gras terrine ($18.00)
- Riesling gelée, sour cherry compote, white bread toast
Duo of duck ($17.00)
- house smoked duck, duck rillette, romaine heart, roasted garlic dressing
Baeckeoffe & salad ($19.00)
- Alsatian meat casserole, beef lamb and pork with potato
Coq au Vin & spätzle ($18.00)
- Alsatian egg dumpling
- smoked potato purée, pickled ramps, ramp pesto
Sweet potato gnocchi ($16.00)
- seasonal vegetable & pesto
I’m a huge fan of anything that’s been placed in a hot oven so essentially things that are baked. So obviously the Alsatian meat casserole& the tarte flambées were my favourites of the night! I’m a sucker of anything that’s embedded on a crusty layer of thin dough. My second favourite was the Seared scallop & braised pork belly… doesn’t that alone sound really good?! I definitely need find a new Alsatian cuisine in Toronto.
great photos! that’s unfortunate that they are closed down now though.
