Good To Go France for the Taking
- Share via
Dining with Andre bills itself as a Provencial Takerie because it specializes in the cuisine of southern France, packaged to go. The menu changes frequently. One day, the entrees included beef daube--beef stewed with red wine, tomato paste, thyme and rosemary and dressed up with caramelized pearl onions, sauteed mushrooms and Kalamata olives.
Among the side dishes was a potato salad more colorful than most, thanks to the addition of red cabbage, red bell peppers and olives. The dressing was garlic mayonnaise.
Dining with Andre bakes its own French bread. A change from the usual is fougasse, a flat Provencial bread cut into an openwork design that brings to mind a huge pretzel.
Beef daube, $9 (one large serving); potato salad, $3.95; fougasse, $3 at Dining with Andre, a Provencial Takerie, 1000 Fremont Ave., South Pasadena. (626) 799-5052.
