We always talk about authentic food being served in Indore. There are restaurants and cafes that serve many international cuisines and one of them is FREITO CAFÉ which is famous for its French delicacies. This is the Central India’s only café where Good France Day was celebrated .For the third consecutive year, Taste of/ Good France gathered more than 2000 chefs on 5 continents to celebrate French Gastronomy on the day of spring, March 21^st, 2017. Dinner served simultaneously in participating restaurants across globe honored the merits of French cuisine, its capacity for innovation, and its values: sharing, enjoying, and respecting the principles of high quality, environmentally responsible cuisine. The French don’t eat and drink to stay alive as they live to eat n drink, and sharing the experience with someone you care about only heightens the experience. Both the meal and the company are elevated with each sip of wine and each shared bite of a new dish.

On the occasion of #GOODFRANCEDAY Freito Café organized a Bloggers Meet with Chef Amit Pamnani, consultant writer and a culinary expert. He has a varied and rich experience of over 20 years  and specializes in Italian, Continental and European cuisines and had also worked with Michelin starred Chef Raymond Blanc. We were served a 5 course meal which had authentic French food and every dish was explained and made by Chef Amit. So that’s how it goes…. 😀

1. Amuse Bouche : : A category for appetizers and that is specially made by the chef. It was actually a cold tomato soup which had real tomato pulps with basil leaves. We can say it a beverage called as “A Shot of Tomato Essence” served in classy vintage wine glass which was refreshing and the combination of basil leaves and tomato was perfect.

2. French Onion Tart: It was way different from a regular tart. The chef made caramelized onion and spread them over a puff pastry and was presented over Dijon mustard dressing and frisee known as Endive a leaf vegetable which is bitter in taste. This was soft, crisper and made me to have another plate.

3. Baked Spinach and Mushroom Crepes: This was far most the best savory in the entire menu. A complete stomach filling plate which had a wrap filled with some veggies, spinach and mushroom and liquid lots of cheese over it. The it was baked inside the oven. The crepe was impeccably delicious. I mean you could easily taste the flavors in your mouth, cheesy piquant flavor

4. Chicken Fricasse Maman Blanc: This is the signature dish of Chef Raymond Blanc which is braised in white wine, vinegar and herb with fondant potato and French beans. Chicken was well cooked and the flavor of wine was complimenting chicken like icing on a cake. The picture of this flavorful savory says it all

5. Chocolate Delice: It was the Ace in this 5 course meal and we all specially recommended this delectable scrumptious dessert to be added in their menu. Chocolate custard set on the base of a stable biscuit with caramelized almond. Soft n crunchy dessert melted inside the mouth and the last thing which I said was “hmmm…. Yummy “
