Jean Louis Parisian Bistro

There was a lot of options on the menu for gluten free & vegetarian diners.  I had my heart set on the duck before even walking in.  The Magret De Caneton A L'Orange on a wild mushroom risotto with baked asparagus did not disappoint.

This was the best asparagus I have ever had.  Perfectly crunchy, yet cooked, with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.  The risotto was very tasty, with a bit of crunchiness around the edges.  The crisp really set it apart from any other risotto I've had here in Pittsburgh.  The orange sauce was amazing.  It was sweet and savory.  And the duck was cooked to perfection.   

La Tartare - This was a very flavorful beef tartare.  It had just the right amount of onion crisp to spices. If you don't like raw beef, this isn't the starter for you.  But if you do, definately give it a go.

 

Chocolate Mousse

The mousse was rich and chocolaty.  There was a surprising graininess to the texture.  At first I thought to myself, "Why is this not smooth like I expected?"  Then I realized the flakes were chocolate melting in my mouth with every bite I took.  It was unexpectedly delicious.
