Tonight we had dinner at Les Enfants du Sud. It's just around the corner from our apartment. This is our 2nd time eating here. The first time, the owner or manager served us and he could speak English and was really friendly - genuinely. He was there a little today, but we had a different waiter. It was off and on raining too - pouring. Luckily we didn't choose the tables outside that had no covers. Most of the people who were eating outside under the awnings had to move inside. These 6 guys that were there moved inside and kept having to go back outside to smoke. All six at once each time. It was kinda funny. Girls go in pairs to the bathroom. Guys smoke together. Here's the menu. Today we had the gambas which are giant prawn/shrimp and the special of the day, trout. It was a whole little trout on the plate and wasn't bad. We also had two appetizers - terrine du chef - I think it was duck pate with a few pickles and os a moelle which was pretty good. It's basically these bones and you eat the marrow inside it with toasted baguette slices. You get this little spoon and you scoop out the marrow and put it on the bread with some sea salt. Very good. Probably not the healthiest. I should have taken a picture of it because it's definitely not something you'd see every day in Pittsburgh. Or ever. 
Here's a picture of the dessert menu. We had the tiramisu which was served in a little glass and the mi-cuit du chocolat et son coeur croquant which was chocolate molten cake with this little hazlenut candy in the middle. The kids devoured it! John and I managed to grab a few spoonfuls. Zach and Asia scraped every little bit of dessert that they could off the plate and cups that it came in. They would have licked the dishes clean if they could have. At least they had the knowledge not to do that.
