Brazilian Gem Paris 6 has made its way to Miami Beach

I had the pleasure of being invited to dine at the newly opened Paris 6 in Miami Beach. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with dim red lighting reminiscent of many cafes in Paris. Service was wonderful, attentive from start to finish. The menu offers french classics like crepes, quiche lorraine and french onion soup.

For starters we chose the brie cheese empanadas from the small bites section, they are lightly fried and come with a yummy side of apricot jam.  For our entrees I chose the coquelet au vin et fettuccini au beurre de truffe (cornish hen braised in red wine, served with truffle butter fettuccine) it was very good, the hen was moist with the skin crunchy and the red wine glaze was slightly sweet, complemented it perfectly. The fettuccine tasted fresh and the truffle butter sauce was light while still giving it that yummy buttery taste. My husband chose the linguine bolognaise made with their homemade beef sauce and a hint of white truffle oil. Both dishes were very nicely plated.

 

Then came what I was most excited about, dessert. Paris 6 is famous for their variations of Petit gateau. I chose the Petit gateau with caramel, kit kat, nutella and lots and lots of chocolate. It was so decadent, it comes with a chocolate ice cream bar in the center, you take a bite of the bar and then dip it back into the warm gateau, utter perfection.
