Avant Gout Restaurant Review:
Chef-owner Kamal Hanni offers a menu marrying Moroccan-spiced dishes and French staples like duck confit and steak frites. Tangy yellow pepper preserves tart up the salmon tagine, while braised lamb shank with dried fruits and blackened chicken breast further the exotic feel. The bargain-priced steak, a substantial cut, is served alongside frites. Other specialties include tagine-style prawns and sea scallops in a saffron-citrus-white wine sauce. The wine list has 30-plus well-priced, unconventional selections.
