My wife & I visited Europe in October 2025, and we stayed in Paris, France for a few days. One day when we were there, we ate lunch at a restaurant called Le Petit Châtelet, located just down the street from Notre Dame Cathedral. We both had a veal stew, which we really enjoyed. It was listed on their menu as veal stew, but after we got back home, I found that it appears to be veal marengo. I found a recipe and tried making some (though at the time, I used beef, since not many supermarkets here carry veal); maybe it was that or the recipe I used, but it didn't really taste the same as it did there. The one we had there was very aromatic and had a distinct savory flavor. This is a link to a photo of the meal. Today I found a butcher shop near me that sells veal, so I went to buy some; I'm curious if anyone knows of an authentic recipe for veal marengo that would be similar to what you'd get in Paris? submitted by /u/RolandMT32 [link] [comments]
