20 Signature dishes you just HAVE to order

top20Have you ever found yourself at a restaurant and just unsure what to order? Sometimes there are many choices and you just want to know what is the best thing they offer. What are they known for? What is their signature dish? You can ask the waiter but sometimes they say everything is good and then you are left in the same position of uncertainty. SO you scope through the menu, make your choice and you and your friends receive your plates. Next thing you know, your friend says it’s the best thing they have ever ordered and they are sitting across from you oohing and ahhing over their dish.

They have the filet mignon and then they have Filet Mignon ‘La Forge’. If they name a dish after the restaurant, that’s usually a good sign. This filet mignon is topped with Fois Gras, mushrooms and a red wine sauce.
