It started with a failed attempt to see
the movie “Blue is the Warmest Color.” Alexis and I had made the journey to the
theaters only to discover it was sold out.
With France on our mind, we decide to settle for the next best thing-
European cuisine.
We journeyed to a restaurant called The
Little Door in our Mid-City neighborhood on 3rd Street. I had always
wanted to try this restaurant, but was waiting for the right opportunity.
The Little Door is an elegant, colorful,
playful Mediterranean spot with romantic ambiance and fantastic food. A secret
garden lingers within the premise and calls for a relaxing meal. There is an
element of passion and seduction that lingers in the air as if the food was
calling for you to indulge. Alexis and I knew that his meal would be more than
satisfactory and we were right.
We started off the evening with two
glasses of Malbac, an assorted meat plat, and French onion soup.
The meats were thinly cut and paired with
delicious baked bread and sweet pickles. The French Onion soup was fitting for
the mood and did not disappoint. Rustic bread was buried under the sweet onion
and baked Parmesan. Every bite provided a bit of warm comfort.
We split an entre of Mussels and Fries.
The mussels were doused in garlic and melted in every bite. The fries were thin
and perfect to dip in the mussel sauce.
Overall, Little Door receives the Two
Foodies thumbs up! The meal was
splendid and presented in the most enchanting atmosphere. This meal was the perfect substitute for out French movie rendezvoused.
