Welcome (back) to mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog. Kirk is enjoying time alone with His Missus while Cathy is writing about meals.
Realizing that Kirk posted about La Miche last month, I was hesitating to post about our recent visit. It was the first time in a long while The Mister and I had an unhurried meal and it was kind of perfect.
The tables are 'socially distanced' and business inside as well as 'to go' seemed steady.
Menus are under glass on the table top, making it a bit easier to keep sanitized (as well as unnecessary for a QR code). Prices seem odd, because when tax is added, the final number is round.
After ordering, a dish of fresh hummus and three hot pita breads are brought out.
The Mister chose the Combo Pita plate ($12.50). Beef and chicken shawarma and falafel in fresh pita breads, each with its own toppings (Beef shawarma with a (really good) pickled cucumber, hummus, tomatoes and tahini sauce. Grilled, moist chicken with garlic sauce, pickled cucumber and tomatoes. Lebanese falafel (garbanzo beans and seasoning, made in house from scratch) with tahini sauce, tomatoes, pickled turnips and pickled cucumber).
The Fish Kabobgee ($14). White fish sautéed in olive oil, butter, garlic and lemon juice. It is so much more difficult to have things plain and simple yet is achieved in the kitchen here. All flavors are bright and fresh and distinct yet blended perfectly.

Everything here is really great, Kat. The falafel are made from scratch and my favorite type (Lebanese-made with garbanzo and fava beans and spices) (Iraqi falafel are made with garbanzo, onion garlic and spices and Syrian falafel is made with garbanzo, cilantro and spices). The freshness and pure flavors are just right.

The fish looks great---the flavor combination is so light and fresh.

The fish was just perfect, cc! This was a 'celebration' meal for us (usually happens in April) we are happy to be able to eat out again.
