It's getting close to the time for annual release parties for the beaujolais nouveau, and one of the big parties here in D.C. is held at Bistrot du Coin, just north of Dupont Circle. So, today, Kevin and I wandered over for a sneak peak.
Twas just a quick, early supper. Kevin had le steak maison avec pommes frites et sauce béarnaise (steak and French fries) and also ordered coeur de laitue à la vinaigrette (Bibb lettuce salad) as a side. He ate every morsel, so I guess it was all good.
I had the tartine Parisienne, a broiled, open face sandwich with French ham, gruyère cheese, and béchamel sauce, that came with a little pile of French salad greens.
For dessert, I sipped a cup of coffee with cream while Kevin savored a rum poundcake with bananas and pineapple, vanilla ice cream, and a berry coulis. The piece of cake was surprisingly small. He reported a definite presence of banana and pineapple in the cake batter, but he didn't really think there was much of a rum flavor to it.
