Indulge In The Rich Food Of A French Restaurant Winnetka IL

By Martha Powell


If you are lucky enough to live in Illinois, especially in the Winnetka area, you likely have a lot of restaurant choices. You probably have eaten some really great food, including from a French Restaurant Winnetka IL. The food is a gorgeous to look at as it is delicious to eat, making a visit to this type of eatery worth every penny you might pay. One trip and you will likely want to go back again and again, for both special occasions and everyday eating.

When people get good news that is exciting or especially life changing, they usually want to celebrate it. While some people might pop some champagne or have a cake, others want to go all out. A French restaurant is a great place to mark that special occasion, whether it be a birthday, a marriage proposal, or finding out that you are expecting little one someday soon.

The reason that many people think this type of food is indulgent is that many of the dishes come with very generous servings of gravy or other sauces. In fact, France is famous for its sauces, and many have been adjusted by other cultures for use. If you love butter and heavy cream, then you will probably really love eating almost any of the saucy dishes.

Another thing that the French do well is seafood. There are many parts of France that are near the coast, so residents throughout the centuries have always had easy access to things like lobster and fish in steady supplies. Sometimes these are roasted whole and left on the bone to give a fantastic, memorable presentation. Other times the fish are broken down and sauteed in a classic preparation.

Many people overlook chicken on menus because they think it is not special enough to pay for in a restaurant. However, there is an art to the perfect roast chicken, and French restaurants have more than mastered that art. Order it with a side of potatoes or carrots for a flavorful feat.

No meal from this region is complete without a fine, perfectly matched wine to accompany it. France has so many areas that are perfect for grape growing, which produces some of the best wines in the world. Choose a glass or a full bottle, or bring your own if allowed, though you may pay a corkage fee.

As delicious as the food is, you will have to remember to save a little room for dessert. The pastries are second to none, and will help put a sweet capper on your dinner or celebration to make it extra special.

Because so much food in this tradition takes quite awhile to cook properly, especially the sauces, many of these restaurants are only open for dinner. They may have a limited lunch service, and usually no breakfast service. However, you may be able to find one that serves brunch on Sundays. If you do, be sure to go, as you get to taste several dishes and you will likely get some famous crepes, which are a delight that everyone should experience at least once.
