Pâté was delicious with the house Beaujolais. Toast (Bub & Grandma’s?) was great, though buttered / oiled like that it wasn’t really right for the fatty pâté, so I ordered a baguette, also first-rate. Do they really make them in-house these days? Came out scalding hot.
Sole was a treat. Big enough for two to share, too much for one, which helps explain the steep price. Great with the Altesse, one of the lower-priced bottles on the list, especially after the wine warmed up a bit.
A solid French onion soup (but I’ve never met a French Onion soup I haven’t enjoyed)
The Escargots were doused in grease and simply too rich. Not worth the price.
The Omelette was just too simple and not light and delicate enough. The Big Mac as well was just too greasy. No finesse! Just a sloppy showing and frankly something Ludo would probably be disappointed by himself given his high standards.
I would say the food, atmosphere, and service are all nothing special. I don’t know why I would go there when I could go to one of the Mozzaplex restaurants across the street or Republique. For similar food, I prefer Oriel in DTLA, which is much closer to us.
That’s cool. We all have our tastes and proximities. Oriel is nowhere close in food to Trois and if you look I’m probably the biggest oriel cheerleader here.
