Desserts…Sure
A couple of years ago we noticed a trend in Paris and in the Provence area. This trend appeared on menus and on menu boards. It was called Café Gourmand.
What is it?
When you order your Café Gourmand, you receive a coffee and three or four small dessert bites. All are attractive, all are delicious, and you get to taste more than just one dessert. What could be better?
The desserts are usually chosen by the chef and vary from day to day. Some chefs always have their signature item as one of the desserts. It gives chefs the opportunity to showcase their desserts and gives you a party for your final course.
Again…what could be better?
Most times the coffee is espresso and is brought with the desserts. This is different than ordering a specific dessert and then ordering espresso.
This year we ordered Café Gourmand in many restaurants. We were never disappointed and always surprised.
This is a trend I am adopting for my own dinner parties. Can’t wait to start…
