Le Singe Vert - Revisit

Stopped by Le Singe Vert again with my cousins and the kitchen knocked it out of the park as usual. Food all around was incredibly solid - like a perfect representation of bistro food. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but everyone was starving so we all started eating and sharing plates right away.

Our Menu
French onion soup gratinée **
I'm a sucker for french onion soup and this was great. Big onion flavor with a delicious cheese.

POITRINE DE CANARD DE LONG ISLAND ROTI a l’orange **
The chefs here know how to handle game meats and it was pretty heavenly. Duck was perfectly cooked and the sauce was a perfect match - still thinking about that delicious duck flavor.

L’ONGLET MARCHAND de VIN **
A dish similar to the duck - huge beef flavor perfectly cooked paired with a nice rich sauce. Oh yeah - and they serve bone marrow here as a side for the dish. Ridiculously delicious.

CASSOULET *
Very satisfying hearty dish especially for the cold weather. Creamy beans that are still al dente with pork belly, duck confit, and a ridiculously delicious sausage.

JARRET D’AGNEAU BRAISÉ AU VIN ROUGE
**
I love stewed meats and this was pretty insane. Lamb was literally fall of the bone and melt in your mouth delicious - especially with the huge wine sauce that it was stewing in.

Special En Croute ***
I have to admit - it's good to know chefs in the kitchen and this is one of those reasons. This dish consisted of blood sausage, quail, mushrooms, and maybe pork wrapped in puff pastry. This was maybe one of my top 5 favorite food memories this year - totally bringing me back to the amazing Au Pied de Cochon. Total WTF amazing...
