It’s a South Beach Summer at the Cafe

Cafe Routier Bistro & Lounge, 1353 Boston Post Road in Westbrook, has introduced a new Summer/South Beach Menu featuring fabulousness inspired by food from Miami to Havana. Espresso seared duck served with a side of cool mango chutney is tops on my list to try. Scallops are also on the menu, served with Spanish chorizo, cockles, roasted heirloom tomatoes, in a sweet corn and coriander broth. You’ll also find paella, packed with seafood of all sorts. And, they’re also offering one of my all-time favorites, “Summer on a Plate,” halibut over heirloom tomatoes, spinach, and a yum, yum, yummy corn basil butter sauce. I published the recipe last year and have made a version at home, but, honestly, nothing beats sitting down and having someone serve it up, perfectly cooked. Find out what else is on the menu by visiting the Cafe Routier Facebook page.
