Pop the top but don't wake the baby

September 22, 2009 By Tanji Leave a Comment

You’ll be glad you popped the top on the delicious Escargot Bordelaise at San Antonio’s newest downtown restaurant Le Midi. It’s French with a capital ‘F’. While the name implies ‘lunch’, bring your appetite. Dinner is hearty fare.

The escargot was one of my favorite dishes in a delicious red wine, mushroom and bacon broth. The mini stainless steel pot presentation was cute but also functional as it kept the little delicacies piping hot.

Another treat – the bacon wrapped monkfish. The wine list is simple and very approachable. I always ask Jean-Francois for his recommendation, and it’s always good!

But perhaps THE treat of the night was the sneak peak we got at Jean Francois’ new 3 month old baby – already dressed to the nines in his chef’s attire.

This is the second restaurant for owner Jean-Francois Poujol. Soleil Bistro, his first, is a little north side gem on Blanco Rd. Le Midi will be serving lunch sometime later this fall.

To see more wonderful food, wine and cooking segments with San Antonio’s top chefs, head to my website.
