点评:Pantoufle's is a must for anyone who loves good food.
We were two Brits on a tour from New Orleans to New York, arriving in Floyd on a Saturday. After sampling mainly burgers, grits and gumbo for 11 days, we wanted to taste something different. We called in to Pantoufle's on a whim and got a warm welcome. The French twist on familiar foods was tempting; we both enjoy visiting France so tried our luck. Happily, we were kindly accommodated in the fully booked restaurant as soon as we arrived. How lucky we were!
My wife started with the leek and potato soup, then had the braised short rib ( as close to the French Boeuf Bourgignon as she can remember) with mashed potatoes. I started with bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar; you can tell a lot about a restaurant by the standard of bread and it was obviously home made. I progressed onto a white bean and slow-cooked shoulder of pork dish topped with fennel. It was excellent.
The wine was very reasonably priced, compared with all our other nights in the US, and delicious (we went with the recommendation of the owner, Grayson).
Were I to return I would ask Grayson what he would recommend and not even look at the menu, such was my confidence in his knowledge, chef and desire to please.
We went on our way with delicious chocolates from his adjacent shop.
Just a wonderful, unexpected experience.
翻译:Pantoufle's 是任何热爱美食的人必去的地方。
我们是两个英国人,从新奥尔良到纽约旅行,周六抵达弗洛伊德。在品尝了 11 天的汉堡、粗玉米粉和秋葵汤之后,我们想尝尝不同的东西。我们一时兴起来到 Pantoufle's,受到了热情的欢迎。熟悉食物的法式风味很诱人;我们都喜欢去法国,所以就试试运气。幸运的是,我们一到就被安排在了满座的餐厅。我们真是幸运!
我的妻子先吃了韭葱土豆汤,然后吃了炖排骨(她记得最像法国勃艮第红酒炖牛肉)和土豆泥。我先吃了涂有橄榄油和香醋的面包;从面包的标准可以看出很多关于餐厅的信息,而且这显然是自制的。我接着吃了白豆和慢炖猪肩肉,上面撒了茴香。味道很棒。
与我们在美国其他夜晚相比,这里的葡萄酒价格非常合理,而且味道鲜美(我们听从了老板格雷森的建议)。
如果我再来,我会问格雷森有什么推荐,甚至不看菜单,我对他的知识、厨师和取悦他人的愿望充满信心。
我们带着他隔壁商店的美味巧克力继续前行。
真是一次美妙而意外的体验。
