French Faire on a budget

Have you always wanted to eat at a great French Restaurant, but not break the bank. Here is a great tip on how to spend less then $50 a person and be able to indulge in a nine course meal.

Two weeks ago my girls and I were in Las Vegas for a milestone Birthday. The Fabulous Birthday girl planned a French dinner at Comme Ca at the Cosmopolitan. When we sat down and looked at the menu, I saw double digits for every item. I looked in my wallet and gasped-there goes my casino winnings. However, surprisingly we were able to order everything we desired on the menu.

We ordered 9 items and 4 drinks for a grand total of $41 per person. You are probably wondering how we were able to do it, especially in Vegas...Well, here are the items we ordered and how we did it:

We ordered our food and ate Family style. Exactly how you would eat at a Chinese restaurant or similar to tapas in a Spanish setting. We ordered the bone marrow, beef tartar, duck confit, gourmet burger, beef cheek, mussels and pomme frittes, two onion soups and pulled pork. Doesn't that sound like a huge amount of food?! It sure was! By the end of our meal, we were so full our bellys' were bulging from our dresses!
