French food is certainly one of the most loved foods globally. It is unbeatable, whether it comes to foie gras, beef bourguignon, exquisite fish, heavenly pastries, or even a basic sandwich.

You are fortunate because French cuisine has influenced the culinary landscape of Bangkok rather heavily. Located in the Yen Akat area in Sathorn, Cagette is a small French canteen that also operates as a deli.

Here, you can order a range of cold cuts and cheese, fish, meats, and, in fact, all kinds of platters within a cagette. For the uninitiated, a cagette is a wooden crate or carton that can be loaded with stuff. It is often used for the transportation of fruits and vegetables in French markets.

The restaurant offers fixed cagettes, or you can create your own from their available options. Anyways, it is a good opportunity to taste more exquisite things prepared in French cuisine.

However, if this is not to your taste, then there are some really great brunches, main meals a la carte, and set lunches in Cagette. Here are some foods to try out:

Coq au Vin

This dish was made famous by Julia Child, an American chef, writer, and television personality. It is a braise of chicken with wine, mushrooms, lardons de bacon, confits de sel de pork, onions, garlic, and even, at times, brandy. Braising can be associated with the phrase “rooster in wine”, although, in fact, it is more suitable for slightly tougher specimens.

Boeuf Bourguignon

None of the French dishes is as famous as boeuf bourguignon. This cuisine is similar in preparation to coq au vin; both dishes originate from the Burgundy region. In other words, beef bourguignon is a stew made from cooked beef with aged red wine, beef bouillon, and other flavored soft vegetables such as mushrooms and pearl onions.

Confit de canard

Confit de canard, or duck, is a favored French dish that entailed a slow heat-cooking method (confit) and the use of antique preservatives. Confitting duck is a less greasy (also tasty) method than frying. It is prepared by appointing the duck in salt, garlic, and thyme for approximately 36 hours. And then gently stewing it in its own fat at low heat.

Salade Nicoise

The Niçoise is an important salad from Provence. It is the sort of meal that may be taken as a first course or as a garnish. This is made from lettuce, fresh tomatoes, tuna, green beans, Nîmes-Caillet olives, anchovy, and olive oil.

Ratatouille

With this dish, the vegetables are sautéed and then layered in a casserole for baking in an oven. Ideally, it goes well with red or white wine as an appetizer or an entree.

Soupe à l’oignon

If there is one meal that everyone should taste the best French meal, then it is the onion soup. While it is not quite clear when the first creme brûlée was made, it did not reach the more familiar form until the 18th century. It may be accompanied by melted cheese and croutons; it is prepared with beef stock and onions.

Final words

We highly recommend the Cagette French restaurant in Bangkok if you are looking for a modern French restaurant that serves authentic French cuisine.
