Palmilla’s atmosphere immediately raises expectations.<br />
Palmilla serves Mexican food with mellow<br />
but flavorful sauces that enhance quality ingredients<br />
like fresh seafood and prime beef.<br />
It’s almost counterintuitive that this works,<br />
since our expectations are so different, but<br />
once you try items like the ceviches, achiote<br />
salmon, or slow-braised short ribs the wisdom<br />
of the strategy is clear. They offer premium<br />
tequilas and cocktails to wash it all<br />
down, making this your place to go for Mexican<br />
food with high style.<br />

Poulet de Jour<br />
We would like to inform our readers that<br />
people in the Middle East eat things other<br />
than roast chicken. We feel that this is necessary<br />
because the same two restaurants<br />
won in both of those categories, which we<br />
don’t think has ever happened before. The<br />
chicken at Poulet du Jour is of course worthy<br />
of the win, juicy inside with a crisp<br />
herb-rubbed skin that has just the right<br />
amount of give when you bite into it. It’s fall<br />
off the bone tender, and fantastic with or<br />
without their lethal creamy garlic sauce.<br />
Share a whole bird or order a half, or even<br />
a chicken sandwich, and enjoy the rice pilaf<br />
and salad that come with it, but spare a<br />
thought for the delicious falafel, regular or<br />
spicy hummus, and the delicious fried cauliflower.<br />
This is simple but perfect Mediterranean<br />
cooking, the flavors of one sunny<br />
land flourishing in another.<br />
