2 Tartines, 2 Tartine Bistro, Monaco and Ohio, A Bistro A Day, March 31

March 31, 2010 by serge the concierge

I have not kept up with this new A Bistro A Day feature in past few days.

To make up for it a bit, I decided to serve you 2 Tartines in this edition.

We're not talking bread slices here.

The tartines in question are 2 bistros using the same Tartine Bistro moniker.

First to appear on my radar was Bistrot Tartine in Monaco.

Weather permitting you can choose to eat in the dining room with its warm recycled wood interior or escape to the terrace.

You get a chance to sample Mediterranean cooking of Stéphane Chenneveau with 2 course lunch for €15.80.

Next we pay a visit to Tartine Bistro in Rocky River, Ohio.

The Monday through Wednesday Happy Hour from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM (at Bar only) sounds like worth checking.

Here's a sample of what $10 ($5 per food item, $5 per 2 wines by the glass) gets you:

Food:

Crab & avocado salad, piquillo pepper puree, mango vinaigrette

Imported cheese plate, lavender honey, candied nuts, roasted grapes

Charcuterie plate, whole grain mustard, house pickles, toast

Wines by the Glass:

picpoul de pinet 2008 coteaux du languedoc for white

jade mountain mourvedre for red

I'm pretty sure I will find more tartines along the way.

A large helping for A Bistro A Day of March 31, 2010

At Casa Artusi in Emilia Romagna, Food is Culture

Mar 31

There might be at least 50 places on my must visit list already so I felt a bit guilty exploring a few of the many things that Emilia Romagna has to offer. There is wine, history, music and food of course. Unfortunately, details for a number of events were in Italian only. I would have liked to read more about 'Alla scoperta del tempo perduto' (In search of lost time) from Musei da gustare in...

Is That a Fish Hanging on Your Back, April Fools Day, Poisson d' Avril

Apr 1

In my school days, if there was one thing you had to watch for on April 1st, it was paper fishes hanging on your back. A harmless joke called Poisson d'Avril. French chocolatier Patrick Roger who can be mischievous turned the tradition into an edible fish, a praline cookie covered with a thin layer of dark chocolate. Give me a dozen of these to munch on. Happy April Fool's Day!
