Moulin Rouge is a well-loved cancan show in Paris, France, with a hundred year history. The current show, called Feerie, features more than 100 artists, including 60 of the most famous dance girls in the world. These girls are accompanied by over 80 world renown musicians and 60 chorus singers. All these performers wear over 1000 costumes carefully crafted with many feathers, rhinestones and sequins. The outfits are made in dedicated workshops by skilled Italian artists. This show will be absolutely loved by all who attend.
However, many visitors to the show miss a true highlight of the Moulin Rouge, the food. The Moulin Rouge features many different menus all served with flawless service. The French cancan meal opens with foie gras raviolis made with poultry bouillon or ambrosia of smoked fish accompanied with beet juice or terrine of young rabbit accompanied with dried apricots. Then diners can choose between hand-rubbed Challan’s breast of duck with orange served with sautéed zucchini with soya sauce or the popular salmon crunch served with leeks and potatoes. No French meal would be complete without Meraux brie cheese and that served at the Moulin Rouge will not disappoint. Guests eating the French cancan option may also choose the exquisite opera pastry with its heavenly hazelnut sauce or the scrumptious apple jelly and sorbet.
Other diners may opt for the Toulouse-Lautrec dinner option. Diners at the Moulin Rouge get the best seats so make your dinner reservations early. The Toulouse-Lautrec dinner option starts with the option of either Norwegian smoked salmon and French toasts or greedy bouquet of crayfish served with mango and smoked duck breast fillet. The diner can then choose between braised of sea bream made with olive and freshly squeezed tomato juice or the marinated roasted rack of veal or the grilled fillet of beef that is served with lyonnaise made with a delightful wine sauce. The meal is accompanied by tome cheese or rouge plaisir, although the most popular choice is the sinful, very dark chocolate entremets.
The most famous choice for food at the Moulin Rouge is the Belle Epoque option. Here diners can start with the fresh duck foie gras with fresh figs or the Parisian style lobster bouquet. Then diners can choose between the white butter poached turbot served with boiled baby potatoes or the freshly roasted rack of lamb, served with buttery green beans. The Belle Epoque option is accompanied by goat cheese and a choice of sorbet or ice cream.
When visiting the Moulin Rouge make sure and include a dinner reservation. Come for the food and stay for the show or come for the show and enjoy the great food. It matters not what your goals are for the night. When you come make sure and book your whole package through “ParisFrance” website.
