TOP of my favorite French dishes:

I. Blanquette de veau

Blanquette de veau is a creamy veal stew with carrots and mushrooms. You can serve it with mashed potatoes, rice or any other carbs of your choice. It’s the ultimate comfy food.
II. Poulet Basquaise

This chicken based recipe originates from the Basque Country. It consists of chicken in tomato sauce with bell peppers and with piment d’Espelette, the local spicy pepper from the region.
III. Soupe à l’onion

Originally a peasant dish as onions were cheap and easy to grow. It is indeed a very a simple soup made with stock and onions and topped with grilled bread and cheese.
IV. Pissaladière

Pissaladière is a pizza-like dish from Provence (with origins from Northern Italy, I believe) It is made with a simple dough, onions, anchovies and black olives. It’s great to eat as a starter in the summer.
V. Raclette

No winter season is complete without having at least eaten one Raclette! It is a very convivial mountain dish. People gather around la machine Ă  raclette, melt their cheese in it, pour it on top of their potatoes and eat with cold meats and pickles.
VI. Salade niçoise

As it name suggests, this salad comes from Nice, in southern France. It is the ultimate summer salad. What’s best about it is the runny soft boiled egg on top, the tuna and the anchovies. You usually eat a large plate of it as a main course.
VII. Tarte Flambée

Or in Alsatian dialect Flammekueche. It is an Eastern French/German pizza-like dish. A simple dough, crème fraîche, onion and bacon. Ganz gut!!
VIII. Moules Marinières

A trip on the Atlantic coast wouldn’t be the same without those mussels cooked in garlic and white wine, and eaten with French fries. You need to eat with a view on the ocean to fully appreciate them.
Voilà! These are my favs. I’ll do desserts next time if you want. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤍" title="Weißes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Weißes Herz">
