Well, you're reading mmm-yoso!!!, maybe looking for lunch ideas or maybe you are just curious as to what Cathy ate, or maybe you are wondering when Kirk will return from vacation. In any case, welcome!
Even though I wrote my first post about La Miche in May, while Kirk wrote a post in April (and many posts prior). It has become a semi -regular stop for The Mister and me. The owner (Nabih) and his wife recognize us now and are always so friendly.
We chose our table to have a view of the kitchen on this visit. Sometimes we can see flames leaping during cooking.
The menu was brought out- it's not under glass any more. This was dinner; lunch prices are less. Website link at bottom of this post. The odd cents for the price of each item take into account tax that will be added to make it a 'round' number. If you pay in cash, it's easier to not have to deal in pennies (or nickels or dimes).
As always, flavorful, fresh hummus and just made, hot pitas are brought out when you are seated.
The Mister likes to try moussaka whenever he sees it on a menu ($12.53 lunch, $15.08 dinner). The Lebanese/Middle East/vegetarian version doesn't use any béchamel and is not layered like the Greek version; it is more like a stew. Wonderful with a good amount of roasted eggplant, tomatoes, chickpeas, onions and garlic cloves (we found a few within the sauce-mild and almost sweet because of the simmering). Seasonings are mild and there is no need to add salt or pepper. This is a new favorite.
In my prior post, I had ordered the Fish Kabobgee and this time I wanted to try the other fish version-Mediterranean Fish ($13.46 lunch, $18.56 dinner)). Grilled white fish topped with tomato, onion, cilantro, garlic and lemon juice. I do love a good char on seafoods as well as meats, so the difference from the sautéed fish was notable. Yet, I am not sure which I like better because each version is so fresh, meaty and flavorful.
A wonderful, family owned and run restaurant.

The presentation of the Mediterranean fish. You can see a corner of the salad which, along with rice was part of each of our meals.
