A Belgian-French Classic with West Coast Soul
The magic of Moules Frites lies in its simplicity: pristine shellfish, an aromatic broth, and crispy golden fries ready to soak up every last drop. At The French Table on Main Street, we’ve made this timeless bistro dish a local favourite—elegant enough for date night, comforting enough for a weekly ritual.
Fresh Salt Spring Mussels
Our mussels arrive fresh, cleaned and inspected for flawless shells. Each batch hits the rondeau with sizzling shallots, garlic, and a generous knob of butter before being bathed in dry white wine and a whisper of Pernod for subtle herbal-anise depth. The pot is lidded just long enough for the mussels to steam open—tender, plump, and ocean-sweet.
A Fragrant White Wine Broth, Done Right
Our moules frites begin with a sizzling base of shallots and garlic, softened in butter until fragrant. We then deglaze the pan with dry white wine, adding just enough acidity to bring out the natural brine of the mussels. Diced tomatoes lend a rustic Provençal touch—fresh, bright, and subtly sweet—while a splash of light cream ties everything together into a silky, aromatic broth that’s perfect for sopping up with fries. The result is a delicate yet flavour-packed sauce that enhances the mussels without overpowering them.
Legendary Frites & Perfect Pairings
Our russet potatoes are double-fried to crisp perfection for a crunchy compliment perfect for broth dipping. Add a glass of Belgian blond ale or BC Muscadet on the side—and you’re set.
