Favorite French dishes?

[skateycat]

Having grown tired of two same samey holiday meals a month apart, our new tradition is that for Christmas Eve we choose a different cuisine every year. Last year was Italian, and our main dish was lasagna.

This year is French dishes. Do you have any suggestions?

This is scrumptious. My stepdaughter’s husband manages restaurants and even he was impressed: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes...and-red-wine-vinegar?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

We do love duck, so this dish is a contender!

My husband's family always does Coquilles St. Jacques on Christmas Eve.

You can find some good, mostly French, recipes for guinea hen here: https://www.lapintade.eu/en

The casserole recipe is delicious and easy to make.

Parmentier de canard is a great Fall or Winter dish! recipe

Soupe de l'ognion aka classic onion soup is one of my favorites. Cheap and easy, you just need to take time with it.

Duck confit is one of my favourites.

Honestly, just some good cheese / assiette de fromage. Tarte au maroilles and similar cheese tarte dishes are tasty and more uniquely French to me.

Steak tartare with frites

This is typically called steak/filet americain in Belgium. The number of times on business travel in Brussels I've had to warn a fellow American it's not what they think it is...

one dish I love my mom makes every time I go back home is Lapin à la moutarde - yes it's a cute but very yummy rabbit !
my preference is with green beans!

A FrenchCanadian neighbour told us of a croissant bakery in St. Boniface (the french area in our city). They are simply out of this world. So much better than anything else that I have ever had that was called a croissant - more like what I had in Paris when there with our daughter. Their soup is also divine.
