What to do on a rainy day? I had the most random craving for something hot, rich, and comforting. Not soup, I thought. Something like a cheese fondue with day-old bread..yum! So we headed to The Grove on a very rainy afternoon to get our fondue fix. In the mall's Farmer's Market, we settled in for some amazing French fare @ Monsieur Marcel.
Normally full, we were lucky to find this place virtually empty because of the extreme weather in LA
Nice assortment of breads and crackers
Ham with olives and pickles
Finally, the rich and delicious fondue! We ordered the Fondue Savoyarde, which has melted Gruyere de Beaufort, Gruyere de Comte, Appenzeller, Morbier, Roquefort, white wine, and kirsch.
Beautiful melting cheese
Our busy table
Clams & Mussels. The white wine broth was amazingly savory with a tinge of creaminess. Perfect for dipping bread in!
Seasoned fries. Addictive!
