How A French Restaurant Winnetka IL Can Help You Make Memories

By Martha Powell


If you are lucky enough to live in Illinois, especially in the Winnetka area, you likely have a lot of restaurant choices. You probably have eaten some really great food, including from a French Restaurant Winnetka IL. The food is a gorgeous to look at as it is delicious to eat, making a visit to this type of eatery worth every penny you might pay. One trip and you will likely want to go back again and again, for both special occasions and everyday eating.

One of the best reasons to eat at a French place is to mark a special occasion. That occasion could be something obvious, like a birthday or a romantic wedding anniversary. Even proposals are pretty common at this type of eatery. But you can also celebrate something a little more uncommon, such as getting a new job or a raise, or perhaps a graduation from college.

One of the hallmarks of many recipes from France is that there are lots of sauces. No matter what type of cooking you do, there are so called mother sauces, many of which originate in France. The trademark of these is dairy products, usually full fat cream and butter. These create rich, creamy concoctions that make you feel completely indulgent.

Since some parts of France border the sea, it is no surprise then that in its culinary tradition, there are lots of delicious seafood dishes. Whether you want scallops, fish or even lobster, most of these things can be found on the menu. You can order your fish descaled and deboned, or order them cooked whole for a presentation that is worthy of sharing on social media before you dig in and enjoy the lusciousness.

Many people overlook chicken on menus because they think it is not special enough to pay for in a restaurant. However, there is an art to the perfect roast chicken, and French restaurants have more than mastered that art. Order it with a side of potatoes or carrots for a flavorful feat.

Wine is another hallmark of this kind of meal, as many grapes are grown in the fertile soils of France. Most restaurants of this type have a large selection available either by the bottle or by the glass. In a few cases, they will let you bring your own, but you have to pay a corkage fee per bottle.

As delicious as the food is, you will have to remember to save a little room for dessert. The pastries are second to none, and will help put a sweet capper on your dinner or celebration to make it extra special.

Many French restaurants are only open for dinner. A select few might be open for lunch, though not necessarily every day. Most are not open for breakfast, except on weekends, when some will be open on Sunday for brunch. Brunch is a great way to taste a little bit of everything, and a chance to taste the famous crepes of France, so if your local place offers brunch, do not miss out. It is one of life's simple, readily available pleasures that can really raise your spirits as it fills your belly.
