Located on the north side of Valparaiso's downtown square, Bon Femme Cafe offers an exciting mix of menu items that can please a palate looking for a break from the usual. Small yet thorough, the selections will satisfy the most discriminating. Al fresco dining is a summer option as well and brings a bit of Euro flavor to the that side of the square. Also, please dress appropriately for a fine cafe. The quality of the food and decor demands it.
Since we had already been to Redamak's earlier and sampled a variety of wine at the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Festival, a light dinner was in order. Skipping appetizers, we ordered the Granny Smith Apple Salad topped with filet mignon. This features bibb lettuce, walnuts, Gorgonzola cheese, the aforementioned apples dressed with a white balsamic vinaigrette. The sliced filet on top turned the salad into a full meal. Accompanied by the house Reisling it was quite satisfying and refreshing. I ordered the Spicy Curry Chicken. Sauteed with dried cherries and apricots and served over basmati rice, it offered a subtle heat and outstanding curry flavor. There's is plenty enough to share with this entree. The accompanying pinot noir was robust enough to hold it's own against the curry. Again, very glad we did not order an appetizer since we left feeling quite satisfied. Desserts such as Bananas Foster were tempting, but there was still birthday cake waiting at home.
Easily a 5/5 for the food alone. Look them up at bonfemme.com
