Starters
Begin your culinary journey with traditional French starters that set the tone for an authentic dining experience. The Soupe de Garbure is a hearty, rustic soup brimming with flavors from tender ham, succulent duck, white kidney beans, and fresh vegetables. Alternatively, the Country-style Pâté offers a rich blend of pork slowly married with port wine and a splash of Armagnac, showcasing the deep heritage of the region’s charcuterie.
Mains
The main courses at Comme à la Maison highlight the culinary craftsmanship that the chef brings to classic Southwestern French recipes. The Basque-style White Fish Stuffed with Red Peppers in Tomato Sauce is a standout dish, combining delicate white fish with the vibrant sweetness of red peppers nestled in a rich tomato sauce. For a comforting vegetarian option, the Ratatouille dazzles with perfectly cooked eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, and onions, each vegetable prepared separately to retain its unique flavor and texture. The Potato Cream Gratin offers a luscious side or main, melding creamy potatoes and cheese into a golden, satisfying gratin.
Desserts
Indulge your sweet tooth with traditional French desserts that balance richness and subtlety. The Fromage Blanc with Chestnut Honey is a delicate, creamy cheese dessert enhanced by the natural sweetness of chestnut honey — a perfect end to your meal. The Canelé, with its caramelized crust and soft, custardy center infused with vanilla and rum, is a quintessential treat that perfectly captures the essence of French patisserie.
