Best Dishes at Maison Passerelle
Foie Gras Torchon with Brioche
StartersA refined French classic — foie gras torchon (poached in cheesecloth for a smooth, creamy texture) with toasted brioche. Gourdet's version likely adds unexpected touches reflecting his French diaspora concept, but the base is an elegant expression of luxury.
Beef Bourguignon
MainsA timeless French preparation — beef shoulder braised low and slow in Burgundy wine with pearl onions, mushrooms, and aromatics. Gourdet's version likely honors tradition while adding his own refined touch. Rich, savory, deeply satisfying.
Seasonal Tarte Tatin
DessertA French dessert classic prepared with whatever fruit is seasonal. Apples, pears, or stone fruits caramelized in butter and sugar, baked with pastry, then inverted. Served warm with cold vanilla ice cream. Simple, elegant, perfect.
Coq au Vin
MainsAnother French classic — chicken braised until falling-apart tender in red wine with bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions. Gourdet's interpretation likely brings refined plating and technique to this rustic dish. Savory, rich, deeply flavored sauce.
Pan-Seared Fish with Provençal Vegetables
MainsA lighter main showcasing Mediterranean influence and French technique. Fresh whole fish (likely changing seasonally) pan-seared and served with ratatouille-style provençal vegetables and quality olive oil finish. Reflects Gourdet's emphasis on seasonal ingredients.
