Steak Frites
Le Relais de Venise yindawo yokudlela yaseFransi ekhonza enye isidlo: i-steak frites kunye nesaladi eluhlaza. Yep, akukho menyu (ngaphandle kweedyuli). Kukho amasebe amabini eLondon, enye e-New York, kwaye isibini esiseYurophu (khangela ukuhlaziywa kweParis ). Ndandwendwela indawo yokudlela yaseMarylebone yaseLondon.
Mayelana neRelais de Venise L'Entrecote
Isizathu sokuba kukho igama lesiTaliyane kwindawo yokudlela yaseFransi kukuba indoda eyayiqalile inkampani, uPaul Gineste de Saurs, yathengela indawo yokudlela yaseItaly ngaseParis ngo-1959 kwaye igcine igama.
Wenza isigqibo sokukhonza kuphela esinye isitya - i-steak frites-kodwa ukudala i-sauce eyimfihlo ukwenza ivenkile yakhe ibonakale. Isebe ngalinye liba neenkcubeko ezilandelayo.
Isihluthulelo sabathengi abaninzi ababuyiselwayo: izithako ezivela kuDonald Russell (umthengisi ku-HM u-Queen) kunye nokuditywa kwamanzi (yonke i-ice cream).
Akukho Menyu
Kuqhaqhaqhaqha ngokuqabulayo ukuya kwindawo yokutyela ukwazi oko uza kuba nayo. Ayikho imenyu apha njengoko ikhonza esinye isidlo.
Kukho mgxininiso ongekho mgaqo-nkqubo wokubhuka ukuze ufumane umgca ngaphandle. Oku akubonakali kukuvimbela abadli kunye nangoko ngaphakathi kuya kufumana iitafile ezipakiweyo kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezihlalweni zebhentshi ngaphaya komgca wegumbi. Iileta ezikufutshane zikhuthaza ukuxoxa ngentsapho kunye nabasondelene nawe enengcamango emnandi. Indawo yokutyela iyazichaza njengento engaqhelekanga kodwa ivakalelwa kukuba ndiyinto endiyithandayo kangangokuba ndicinga ukuba 'isiFrentshi isisityezelo' siyinto encinci kuneyona nto ndiyisebenzisayo.
Akukho mculo xa ndandwendwela kodwa umthamo uvuka xa indawo ixakekile ngenxa yabo bonke abaxoxa.
Emva kokuba uhleli, umgcini-mnxibo - egqoke nge-classic 'intombikazi yaseFransi' - uthatha umyalelo wokusela izixhobo zokusela kunye nokuhlola indlela onokuthanda ngayo isonka sakho siphekwe. Oku kubhaliweyo kwiphepha lesetafile kunye nealadi eluhlaza kuvela kwitafile yakho kwimizuzu.
Ukutya
Isalathisi esiluhlaza isaladi i-lettuce ifakwe ngama-walnuts kunye ne-mustard vinaigrette. Entsha, ehlekayo kwaye ingabonisi. (Cofa kwi 'imifanekiso engaphezulu' ngasentla ukuze ubone isithombe.)
Amafrithi (amaFries aseFransi) atyathwa ngesandla kwisakhiwo esebenzisa amazambane e-Bintje avela eFransi ukuze ahlale ehambelana neendawo zaseParis, nangona andizange ndicinge ukuba oku kuyimfuneko kwiifatata ezidibeneyo.
Xa isidlo sakho esikhulu sifika ungacinga ukuba i-steak yincinci encinci kodwa oku kungenxa yokuba isiqingatha sigcinwe kwakhona ukuze sigcinwe sifudumele. (Abayi kukuxelela oku, khumbula nje ukuba unesidlo esiphambili sesibini, okwenza oku kulunge ngakumbi.) I-steak ihlanganiswe kwi-sauce eyimfihlelo, phantse idilika, ngoko uthe ukuba awufuni kakhulu. Ndandibuza oko kwakungumgqomo kodwa watshelwa ukuba, "Imfihlo" echaza igama. Ndiyakwazi ukukuxelela ukuba ubhedu kodwa unobumba, iitrob, kunye neziqholo.
Ukuvuma kwam
Ndingumhlaza. I-Yep, ndaya kuhlolisisa ivenkile yevenkile njengomhlaza. Kodwa ndathatha umhlobo onomdla ovuyayo ukunceda kum ngaphandle kweso sabelo sokuhlaziywa. Iimvumi zinikwa ukukhethwa kweeshizi ngaphandle kwabaqholi kodwa isonka sinokufumaneka. Ndinezicubungu zaseFransi ndazama ukusila i-sauce eyimfihlakalo ngoko ndiphantse ndibe nolwazi olupheleleyo.
Desserts
Izinto zihamba kakuhle kodwa zahamba kakuhle kakhulu xa sibona imenyu yokudada. Oo lam ilizwi, ololuhlu luluhle! Kukho ama-profiteroles, meringues, creme brulee, sorbets, kunye nokunye. Ndikhethile 'uLe Vacherin du Relais' eneemigca ze-vanilla ice cream kunye ne-hazelnut ice cream e-sandwiched between, i-cream, kunye ne-chocolate. I-Crikey, loo nto yayilungileyo. Kakuhle kakhulu. (Cofa kwi 'imifanekiso engaphezulu' ngaphezulu ukuze ubone le dessert yummy.)
Ixabiso
Xa ndandwendwela ngo-2010, i-starter kunye nekhosi ephakamileyo yayithengwa kwi-£ 19 ngomntu ngamnye. Ndiva ukuba oku kunika ixabiso elikhethekileyo lemali yokutya okunjalo okuphezulu. Ndiya kuncomela ngokukhethekileyo ukukhetha into - nantoni na! - ukusuka kumenyu ye dessert njengoko ukhetho lwaluhle kakhulu. (I-dessert yam enkulu yayingu-£ 4.50 kuphela.)
Isiphelo
Ingcamango yokuba akukho menyu ibonakala ingaqondakali phambi kokutyelela kwakho kodwa emva kokuba uye waya eLe Relais de Venise iya kuqonda kakuhle.
