There’s something magical about sitting at a restaurant and receiving an unexpected offering without ever having to ask for it. A small bite meant to excite the palate and send your taste buds on a quest to discover the chef’s approach to cuisine. This explosive mouthful is known as the amuse bouche, literally translating to "mouth amuser" it is different from other hors d’oeuvres. They are not ordered from any menu, executed according to the executive chef’s selection, and the same for all guest. It’s the chips and dip of fine dinning, just enough lagniappe to capture your attention.
At Jolie’s Louisiana Bistro we celebrate this culinary tradition with a completely different attitude – the amuse guelle. The much more laid back version of its stuck up cousin, guelle is slang for mouth and is found in bistros and brasseries all over the world. It’s rustic, it’s raw and completely unpredictable. We strongly believe that there’s more to a kitchen then just one man. Behind every executive chef there’s a group of men and women whom without their dedication and hard work the entire concept would cease to exist. Each week we honor these young chefs in our kitchen by allowing them to showcase their skill, artistry and showmanship as they offer you a bit of insight into their individual cooking styles. Join us for dinner Tuesday through Thursday and try our amuse guelle of the week.
