So Frenchie so Chic...

On the eve of Bastille Day, this month's adventure took place at Tabou, Surry Hills.

Greeted by a charming French waiter my fellow adventurers came together and were joined by a special guest- an honorary bloke- as equally into food as we are.

The setting was French bistro and the menu, classic French. Baguette and French butter to nibble on, a soufflé to start followed by a cassoulet, steak frites and other gorgeously prepared bistro style mains. Truffle potatoes- beautifully smooth and creamy- were of some of the accompaniments, and there was even room for dessert. French bread with caramelised pear and a light pear sorbet.

Travel and escapism were on tonight's agenda. With adventurers recently returning from the US and Thailand or planning their next overseas sojourns, including round the world tickets and South American escapes.

Marion's surprise departure from Master Chef was debated along with who might win and why.

We talked vampires (Twilight) and the delightfully girly, Eat Pray Love, as I dreamed of a life on foreign shores with exotic accents filling the air.

As the evening drew to a close and the cab driver stoped at my destination he turned and asked, "do you come from France?"

My night was made!

Viva la France...
