Five Classic French Dishes Everyone Should Try
If you're new to French food, start with coq au vin — chicken braised slowly in red wine with mushrooms and pearl onions. It's comfort food with centuries of technique behind it, and it's a perfect introduction to how the French build deep flavor from simple ingredients.
From there, work your way through duck à l'orange, a steak frites done right, and a proper French onion soup with its blanket of melted gruyère. Each is a benchmark dish you'll find on classic Las Vegas French menus.
Save room for dessert. A crème brûlée with its glassy caramelized top, or a chocolate soufflé that arrives at the table still rising, is the kind of finish that makes a French dinner memorable.
