Destinations / Caribbean

Calling all foodies! July is French-American Heritage Month, so what better time to embark on a cultural fusion culinary adventure and explore all the dishes French heritage brings to the United States than now? These three destinations offer some of the best French-inspired dishes around:

 

Kissimmee, Florida  

Visit Le Macaron French Pastries in Celebration for delicious French treats. Located just minutes away from world-class attractions, this charming shop serves rainbow-colored macarons, yummy gelato and other crafted desserts that taste like they are straight from Provence.

 

If you are in Kissimmee on a French culinary adventure, it wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Walt Disney World’s EPCOT. As you approach the France Pavilion, you’ll feel like you are being transported to Paris thanks to its cobblestone streets, quaint storefronts and delicious dining. Enjoy classic onion soup and duck confit at Chefs de France; taste buckwheat galettes and crêpes at La Crêperie de Paris; and head into Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie for baguettes, eclairs and tarte aux fraises.

 

U.S. Virgin Islands

French culture and culinary influence are alive and well in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Frenchtown, St. Thomas, was originally founded by French settlers and, today, the vibrant seaside neighborhood still showcases French culture and culinary influences. Enjoy local specialties with a French twist, including fresh grilled fish, pâté and coconut tarts.

 

Over on St. Croix, Savant sets the mood with candlelit courtyards and a French-Caribbean menu with conch in coconut curry and peppercorn pork tenderloin.

 

Oklahoma City

Located in Innovation District, Le Bon Café offers a little slice of Paris. Enjoy buttery beignets and croissants, gourmet sandwiches, and café au lait. Cosabella Kitchen offers private French-Italian dinners by reservations only. Chef Erica Hogan creates each menu by infusing childhood memories of French cooking with a modern twist.

 

And you can’t go to OKC for French cuisine without visiting La Baguette Bistro. This local favorite offers an old-school feel and delicious French classics like duck à l’orange and steak au poivre.
