One of the prettiest and most elegant restaurants in Palm Beach. Two lovely rooms with a piano player and surroundings that are like eating in an elegant home. Unfortunately, the food does not live up to the room. It was quite ordinary. I don't agree with the Zagat rating of 25 for food. I believe their ratings outside of NYC tend to be biased upwards, possibly because of the lack of high quality restaurants.
Cafe L'Europe
331 S. County Rd. (Brazilian Ave.)
Palm Beach, FL 33480
561-655-4020
Appetizer:
Tomato/Mozzarella salad - lacked real flavour which might have been improved with some fresh basil.
Breaded Sweetbreads - the breading was too oily and soft, lending a mushy flavor to the meat.
Entree:
Muscovy duck with pancake - the pancake was excellent but the duck seemed reheated and oily.
Wienerschnitzel with spaetzl, red cabbage and asparagus. This dish was very good. The veggies were crisp and while the spaetz were not like my mom's, they were pretty good. Veal cutlet lightly breaded and not oily in any way.
Wines - an excellent list of quality wines by the glass. We had a nice California Chardonnay and an Austrian Riesling.
No dessert tonight--the cookies at the Breakers are waiting for us!
Expresso - just OK
