We had a dinner in this restaurant during our short stay in Carmel at the end of January; overall - the atmosphere, the service, the wine list were quite authentic French. I love France and French cuisine, I missed the frog legs very much, here they were good but tiny, more like they are in Chinese restaurants; French frog legs should be bigger and have more meat. Classic escargot seemed too spicy for me; the onion soup had a subtle burnt taste, looks like the onion was too fried....
We enjoyed a truly delightful dinner at L'Escargot last night. The restaurant is a charmingly quaint and serene space—exactly the kind of atmosphere we appreciate. It was our first time visiting this area since moving to California, and the experience left us eager to explore it further, as well as to return to L'Escargot to sample more of their menu. The service was impeccable; our water glasses were attentively refilled without request, and each course arrived promptly...
This is one of our favorite places in Carmel, and one of the oldest restaurants in the village. There are always a number of daily specials. I chose the cassoulet special, which was amazing: filled with duck and pork, with a crispy crust. It was very rich, and the leftovers tasted better the next day. We also had the escargot and the French onion soup. The service was very attentive. All in all, another great meal. We will be back the next time we are in Carmel.
