Les Chefs de France - Pick My Appetizer Please!!!

[Wendi2000]

I love to look over the menus before my trip, and I'm trying Chefs for the first time, but the appetizers all look so good I can't decide!!! Help me... which would you choose???

ETA: Just wanted to clarify that the top two items are flatbreads.

I picked Champignons sauvages et quarte fromages - Wild mushrooms and four cheeses $8.95 Just because that is what I am getting during my trip this month...I have never tried it before so don't go by me saying it's better then something else but I am torn between that and the Lobster bisque....

I picked the tart. DH had it last trip & it was very good. But everything we have had at Chefs has been great.

The lobster bisque is excellent. Enjoy!

I'll go off-poll and say the Soupe a l'oignon gratinee.

I have never had such an Onion soup!

I've never liked it because it's always so salty- but this is amazing!!

Good luck deciding.......

 

[Schucraig]

I love the Lobster bisque!

My hubby and I share the cheese plate whenever we eat at Chefs - it's always been a very tasty start to the meal.

I agree, and I am a BIG French Onion Soup fan!

I picked the Wild Mushroom flatbread, it's fantastic. We always get that when we go there and share it.

We always get the wild mushroom flatbread and the escargot to share. We love both but the escargot are wonderful.

The bisque-its wonderful!

MMM....I would go with the lobster bisque.

 

[Micca]

If it's hot, I'd get the cheese platter. In cooler weather: the bisque.

 

[Ms.Mouse]

The cheese platter was excellent

Thanks for all of the advice!!! Is the lobster bisque similar to the soup at Kona and Coral Reef? If so, I will likely have it at Kona and will opt for one of the other items at Chefs...

Can anyone tell me more about the cheese plate? Like, how many cheeses, what types, and what is served with the cheeses?

Cheese, glorious cheese... We ordered this as an appetizer when we had lunch at Chefs back at the end of May. This picture and description are from a dining review I did. If you'd like to read about the rest of our lunch experience at Chefs, click on the link in my signature - The Food was not Undelicious. The first post will tell you which page each review is posted on.

Booyah!!! As far as I'm concerned it's a windfall of the cheesiest kind - there's nothing funky on that plate. No stinky-feet smell wafting up from the table, no weird, waxy green or striped offerings, and no blue cheese!!

So what do we have to choose from? Starting on the left was a cheese that was similar to a mild English cheddar...firm and very smooth. Next to that was a Swiss cheese unlike any I've ever tasted...rich and slighty nutty, this cheese didn't leave an aftertaste like so many Swiss cheeses that I've had here in Stinktown. That little round guy was a goat cheese - yummmm, so creamy and mild, not nearly the bite I've come to expect from goat cheese. And on the far right, camembert...super creamy, but I like mine without the rind, thank you very much.

 

[Wendi2000]

The cheeses do look yummy! And a nice little salad to go with them too... Is there bread or crackers or anything else to enjoy the cheeses with? TIA!!!

If you want to do it right, and you want what is best about France, go for the Assiette campagnarde, the selection of pates. The flavors and textures are the real deal, unlike the cheese, which you can get in any good cheese shop. Be brave and try something out of the ordinary.

i picked the lobster bisque - but that tart sounds great, too!

I won't do pate, but thanks for the advice.
