It is so still in my house you could hear a pin drop. I like it that way. I love Sundays….there is something magical about them. I decided to sit on my computer and continue posting on Charleston.
Prominent families in Charleston are of French Huguenot descent. On the Southeastern quarter of Charleston there is an area called the French Quarter. And, I am not sure if you have seen the beautiful Huguenot Church….it is truly so pretty. It is located at 136 Church St. The church opens its doors to worshipers of all Christian backgrounds. Tel. 843-722-4385. To know more about it, please visit http://www.huguenot-church.org/history.html.
The City of Charleston has diverse influences. With that in mind and strolling Historic Charleston in the evening my cousins and I arrived at Brasserie Gigi. It is located at 102 North Market St. Tel. 843-722-6393. Website? http://www.brasseriegigi.com. It had a good crowd and the menu looked interesting.
The Potage Parmentier or Potato Leek Soup was ordered…topped with chives and croutons. This soup was much welcomed….it was chilly that night.
Two orders of Mahi with potatoes. The fish was perfectly cooked.
And my Roasted Monkfish Bourride was outstanding….leeks, potatoes, parsley, thyme, lemon and white wine aioli.
Creme Brulee was our sweet ending…sharing at this point of our trip.
What’s excellent about Historic Charleston is that you can walk everywhere. And you have to….all this dining and wining can get anyone in trouble.
Note: Brasserie Gigi is open for lunch, dinner, and week-end brunch.
Talk to you later. Have a good one!!
