April in France and Belguim-continue




 Later in the month, we enjoyed a vigorous game of doubles tennis and then cruised over Chain Bridge to Et Voila on MacArthur Blvd. for lunch.  It was a cold and rainy day so we were looking for some warm and comforting food.  The Chef at Et Voila is from Belgium.  Our waiter was very friendly and appeared to have a French accent.  The attractive space is small and narrow with a small bar.  The restaurant prides itself on serving natural, local grown produce.  Once again, Kari and Dad enjoyed the same dish:  Casserole de Moules Diable Pommes Frites, succulent steamed mussels in flavorful garlic white wine sauce with tomatoes, shallots and tasty lobster bisque.  A side of crispy Belgium fries accompanied the large bowls with lids.  Mayo and ketchup were ordered to dip the yummy fries in.  Delicious bread and butter was enjoyed in the remaining broth.  Lori ordered the Sandwich de Homard et Ses Chips au Panais, a delicious and moist lobster sandwich with parsnip chips and mache salad.  It tasted divine.  Sheri enjoyed the warm melted Guyere cheese over white ham on a toasted thin slice of delicious french bread.  The Tartine Parisienne et sa Salade Verte came with lightly dressed greens.  Pleasant ambiance and staff.  Good food.  Worth a visit.  http://www.etvoiladc.com
