Le Petit Bistro

Last Thursday I had the great pleasure to take my dear wife to a restaurant. And not any restaurant, but a french one. And not anywhere, but in Piracanga, at the end of the world that is this time on the coast of sunny Brazil. Yes, we didn’t even had to go out of the small eco-village that we live in for a month in order to fully enjoy the french cuisine.

This was possible due to the french couple Didier and Sandrine, that organized a “Petit Bistro” in their “Casa Piracanga”. They come here several times a year and they stay about 2-3 weeks, therefore such an event is not to be missed.

When we got to their place (just to be clear, we walked for exactly 3 minutes from our house, enjoying on the way an almost full moon) we found the tables arranged and some of the people already there, ready to eat the smelly goodies of the french guys.

I found my way to the kitchen trying to catch the cooks in action, but the starters were already done. The plates were set and ready, just a few more people were missing.

Before starting to eat we were served with a drink made of bad quality white wine (Didier told us) and very sweet maracuja (passion fruit) liquor. The result was similar with Porto wine, more tasty, pretty good in the given circumstances.

The guests slowly appeared, therefore the starters were served. A delicious tarte with some kind of melted cheese, tomatoes, herbs and olives:


Besides that we’ve got a mini fruit-vegetable salad, with a tasty sauce and some raisins:


The starter came with a white and cold wine (called Petit Bistro, of course). Everybody was drooling waiting for the main dish – fish made in the oven – dorado to be more precisely:



The taste was excellent considering we didn’t have any fish for quite some time. The same white wine made this course smooth even if we were quite full. This is because we usually eat at dinner just a shake that we made out of fresh fruits with a bit of milk, mixed in the blender. Well, the french DINNER wasn’t over yet :)

And how could we go to a french restaurant without eating cheese? This time Didier and Sandrine picked up a ROLA of “Petit Brie”, served on a slice of home-made bread with raisins, together of course with a glass of red wine, Petit Bistro as well:


When we were about to say that’s it, we saw more plates coming :) This time it was the real desert (even though I knew that french usually eat cheese instead of desert).

We received a small glass of mousse au chocolate, made by Sandrine herself, extremely good. Not too sweet, not too heavy, just perfect to enjoy together with some home made yoghourt (with a bit of maracuja on top) and a jam pancake:

We can only thank Didier and Sandrine for a delicious meal. We are looking forward to the next Petit Bistro that will take place this Friday ;-)
