Risotto, risotto, risotto. The only thing on my mind when it comes to food these days is risotto. I love indulging in a lemon risotto with shrimp, especially during this phase of my pregnancy. Goutons Voir has one of the best risotto I have tasted, if not the best (I did remove the asparagus ingredient though, but that is a matter of preference). It is so creamy and rich, and in addition to the shrimp lurking inside, they have placed a few shrimps at the top. This latter subtle component enhances the taste by providing a sort of lovely grilled flavor. I also ordered french fries on the side, and their fries are certainly the correct amount of salty and crispy. Feeling very full, I ordered half a portion of their pain perdu for dessert. I love the whole Goutons Voir, Charlotte, Cafe Gourmand, and Nonna enterprise, so I had tasted the pain perdu at Charlotte before yet I recalled that it was good but not out of this world. Still adamant to give it another try, I did. The caramel sauce smothering the bread is very good, without being overly sweet. However, I realized what it was that I found a little lacking. The bread was moist, but I prefer a pain perdu that is more soaked and filled with the milky mixture. Hence, I would still rather their heavenly moelleux au chocolat. Last but definitely not least, an important issue noteworthy of stating is that the waiter was very friendly and professional. We felt comfortable and we will definitely be back to Goutons Voir and all of the sister eateries that never disappoint!
Beautiful food , very tasty and lovely service
Although the place is small, but it serves one of the best steaks in beirut. appetizers are also delicious, service is very good
Co-operated with the Italian restaurant Nonna, Goutons Voir is a French joint located further down my street in Achrafieh. I've been there quite a few times already and was never disappointed. Today, I had: - a delicious Chevre Croustillant for appetizer, composed of a warm grilled portion of cheese embedded in dough, complete with its entourage of roquette salad, fresh endive leaves and raspberries, - a glass of Brouilly to keep it company - a rather tasteless Duck Confit and mashed potatoes to follow suit, redeemed by the richest sweet sauce ever, - a glass of full-bodied Lebanese syrah - an ambitious and creative Tiramisu hosting 3 biscuits soaked in bitter sauce and driven into the thick dessert cream ss if to serve as piles to some gastronomic foundations - a double espresso, just because no meal is complete without one. My wife loved her grilled chicken and vegetables. While not typically French, the setting is a mix of ffortless and easy-going good taste made possible thanks to the professional staff on hand.
