From the outside, Jean-Marie Cadot’s restaurant doesn’t look like much. But step inside and you’ll quickly learn that the Parisian immigrant stands behind one of the best French kitchens in town. With almost thirty years of experience serving upscale French cuisine, he’s made the establishment that bears his name a destination for Dallas foodies since 2009. The escargot in herbed garlic butter is a fantastic dish—this very French delicacy is cooked to absolute perfection. Duck confit spring rolls lend an Asian touch to the menu that is very rewarding. For entrees, the cassoulet can’t be beat; this traditional country-style dish has been undergoing a resurgence in recent years, and for good reason. Mussels with frites are also spectacular, with an awesome white wine sauce perfectly flavoring the tender shellfish. The lunch menu is also quite nice, with delicious soups and sandwiches lending a more casual feel to the restaurant. For dessert, the profiteroles can’t be beat.
