More information on Hotel Himeji Plaza
This "French steakhouse" concept from Gabino Sotelino (whose upscale Ambria, is right next door) seduces with its aromatic atmosphere, tasty steak preparations, and one of the best tarte tatins (inverted apple tart) in town. Gabi's decor is like a movie set of a cozy, boisterous bistro. There are numerous classic bistro starters and hot seafood appetizers, and the chilled fruits de mer selection is impressive (if you can bear to bypass your favorites, I suggest the coquilles Gabi, a cold dish of just-barely poached and artfully dressed sea scallops). Exquisitely simple entrees include chicken paillard (a crusty, pounded chicken breast in lemon butter) and trout Grenobloise (perfectly pan-seared trout in caper butter with a sprinkle of croutons). Steak frites can be had with maître d'hotel butter, au poivre, Roquefort, or bordelaise (with caramelized onions in mushroom-and-red-wine sauce). Numerous seafood entrees, a section of seasonal specialties, and sides along the lines of parsnip purée and ratatouille round out the menu. Did I mention the fantastic tarte tatin? You can also get classic French treats such as dessert crepes and profiteroles. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
