    Apple tartin - A dessert apple tartin served on a white plate with a dollop of whipped cream. The plate has a decorative dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon around the edges. A coffee drink with foam is placed on a saucer with a napkin, and a glass of sparkling wine is also visible on the dark table surface.

    Gf of mine found this little French cafe/bistro in upstate NY. We were in the mood for something different. Saw the menu online and ordered the escargot & endive salad as an appetizer. For the main course, got the duck breast and steamed mussels. Dessert: cappuccino and apple tartin. Everything was delicious! Presentation was simple and appetizing. I would highly recommend this establishment if you're ever up here! Would definitely come back. Service was super friendly. And they were quick with the meal preparation and delivery. They have a finely tuned operation. Place was also clean. Highly recommend making reservations as it's a small place and tables fill up fast. :)

    Dinner with dear friends and checking out a new place!

    During our "meetiversary" weekend, we arranged to have dinner with friends who now live up in Vermont. I used meetways.com to find a halfway point between our two homes and the town of Millbrook, NY popped up. A decent 86 miles from my home, I decided to scan Yelp and Trip Advisor for restaurants in the area. My eyes scanned over Les Baux, and as a fan of French cuisine, it was on my list. My friend later told me SHE discovered it as well, so we took it as a sign and made a reservation for the first sitting of the evening. That would allow us to drive there and back in the same day, while enjoying a meal in between. The restaurant is located in the downtown area of Millbrook and there is on-street parking. We were there just as they opened for dinner service, 5pm. I perused the menu before we left and I knew I wanted French onion soup. I am a seafood lover, so I planned to order the filet of sole prepared meuniere style. The venue is small, serving about 40 people at a time. We were seated off to the right and it was a really cozy room. There was ample space for the six of us to sit comfortably yet not be on top of nearby tables. There was a sign on the door that said "wear mask upon entering", and I wasn't sure if we still needed to. Luckily all of us had a mask on us. All of the waitstaff and hostess were wearing masks when we walked in, so I was glad I read the signage on the door. We were offered tap or sparkling water. Our glasses were filled promptly. We were told about some wine specials and some of us opted for a glass of their house wine. Our server read off the specials from a chalkboard that she carried to the table. Once I heard that whole trout was offered, I changed my entree order I had pre-planned. THE GROWS: We were told upon booking about the 2 hour limit at our table. This needs to be in place because the venue is not large--quite understandable. We were politely asked to leave the table since our check was settled. My "grow" is because there is no area for the next round of diners to wait, and as we walked out, the patron who was among the party about to use our table said something nasty to us. THIS IS NOT THE RESTAURANT'S FAULT--sometimes there are cranky people having a bad day who do not have the class to keep their comments to themselves. I'd suggest a bench out front for people to sit in while waiting for their table to be cleaned. THE GLOWS: For appetizers, we stared with the French onion soup, escargot, ouffes mayonaise, asparagus soup (special that day) and mushroom soup (special that day). I sampled my friend's escargot, which were aromatic with garlic and seasoning and cooked to perfection. My French onion soup had onions that were super thinly sliced--outrageous! TONS of cheese in the steaming hot crock. The baguette they served with fresh butter was homemade and warmed. Our bread basket was refilled without asking. My entree special, the trout prepared almondine, was covered in toasted and seasoned almonds. A vegetable medley and rice adorned the plate. My portion was huge so I shared the remainder with someone so as not to waste it. For dessert, we had the mini Madelines which came with warm chocolate sauce, creme brulee and the tarte a tatin. I enjoyed the cafe liegeois, which was three generous scoops of coffee ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and a small pitcher of coffee to pour over the top. For coffee lovers like me, this was pure heaven and the perfect ending to a memorable meal. They have at least 8-10 (maybe more) dessert options. The dessert menu is not visible on their website, but they hand you a copy when preparing for that course. Les Baux is definitely a shining star not far from the Taconic, and worth the detour if you are passing through the area. I'd even say it's a good idea to plan a day trip just to see this town and dine at this venue

    a table and chairs in a restaurant - The image shows a section of a restaurant interior featuring a wooden dining table with six chairs, some with black cushions. A large potted plant is placed on a counter, and framed artwork decorates the walls. The lighting includes wall-mounted fixtures, and a window with a bamboo shade is visible. The flooring is wooden, and the ceiling has a simple, tiled design. The setting suggests a casual dining environment with decorative elements.

    Was a lunch guest on a rainy winters afternoon during COVID. The food is the draw with a chef who hails from Brittany guaranteeing a solid French casual menu. The atmosphere is cute and the restaurant has the feel of a neighborhood haunt with a battery of regulars - no bad thing in the current environment. I chose the escargot which came piping hot. Bien sur !

    Escargot - A serving of escargot is presented in a round, brown ceramic dish filled with green herb butter. The dish is placed on a white paper doily on a white plate. Two small forks are positioned on either side of the dish, and a small bowl of butter is nearby. The setting includes a wine glass, utensils, and a napkin on a dark restaurant table.

    Just solid excellent comfort french food. Everything was good french onion soup, escargot, duck and sole and finally creme brulee had perfect caramelization. Reasonably priced and ambience is very charming and lovely. Will be back for sure.

Although Poughkeepsie has a decent variety of excellent restaurant options, there aren't a lot of upscale places to select from. We opted to book reservations for Brasserie 292 for a Saturday night. When we arrived, we were nearing the end of the dinner rush. We were sat right away, unfortunately it wasn't all too romantic being sat in the middle of the restaurant but understandably the restaurant is on the smaller side. The waiter was attentive, and addressed any of our questions about the menu, even hunting down the bottle of pinot noir we ordered. We opted to start off our night by splitting a half-dozen oysters which came with their in-house hot sauce, and an order of pouple, which was cooked to perfection. For our entrees we selected the red wine braised lamb shank and the dry aged prime NY steak. Since sides for both entrees were not mentioned on the menu, we also ordered sides - wild mushrooms, brussels sprouts and crispy smoked peewee potatoes. Overall the food was excellent and I'm still dreaming about the mushrooms. If we lived locally, would we go back, maybe but overall we had a great experience. Since this was an upscale restaurant, I opted to not photograph our meals and enjoyed being present in the moment.

    Don't get to many French restaurants so I wasn't sure what to expect, especially in 'rural'…read moreConnecticut. I'm very glad I went. My aunts were raving about a desert pastry. We arrived and sat outside on the terrace. The road nearby was not too loud and the terrace was great shade on a warm day. We ordered gazpacho, ratatouille, onion soup, and clams linguini. Importantly, I almost NEVER order clams at restaurants. My family and I dig and eat at least a thousand clams a year in Rhode Island and I always assume and expect that no place can prepare them as well or as freshly. When the dish arrived I saw three cherrystones on top and figured this would be a small plate for a big price. I was completely wrong. The dish was better than anything I've made or had out. Full of tender chopped clams, the flavor and sauce were superb and the bread was excellent. We finished the meal with the pastry desert (cream puff with ice cream and chocolate sauce) and a merengue floating on a vanilla sauce. Both were wonderful. The service was great- Emelina (?) was very attentive and gave us spot on advice (and some basic French lessons) with a smile. The owner, Rober, also stopped by to make sure our experience was good. I would recommend strongly to anyone in the area who appreciates fine dining without too much fuss or to anyone wondering what French food is really like.
