Le Vallauris
Cuisine:  French
The Experience:  You dine in a restored historical landmark, but it's no dusty schoolroom. You'll feel as if you've entered the home of a French relative who wants nothing better than to make you happy. Flemish tapestries and Louis-XV furniture sets the mood that carries through on the menu. The daily offerings are handwritten on a large board brought to your table to stand like artwork on an easel while you make your selections. For a mouth-watering appetizer start with sauteed foie gras, cured duck breast salad with raspberry dressing or crab cakes with whole-grain mustard sauce on mixed greens in balsamic vinegar. Then select a roast rack of lamb with thyme and garlic, the tender veal chop with sweet pea ravioli or the most popular dish, the seared whitefish with mustard sauce. An array of desserts is topped by the Grand Marnier souffle. If you prefer to dine al fresco, the garden patio is complete romance. Here you are enveloped by the colors of gorgeous fresh flowers, lupe ficus trees and the scent of the sweet desert air. Combine that with first-class service, good food and the intoxicating hospitality of Paul Bruggemans and you are in for a real treat.

Guide to Ratings and Price Ranges

"Thank you for assistance with my reservation for Portobello Yacht Club in Orlando. The food was excellent and the service superb. My party arrived about thirty minutes prior to our price-discounted reservation time because of inclement weather. Despite arriving early, Portobello honored the 15% discount for off-peak dining hours. This was my second dinner experience at Portobello. There will be more. Thank you again for making the reservation process easy and the dinner affordable." Robert A.-Orlando, FL
