<p>Even though it originated as a humble peasant dish, French onion soup is nowadays regarded as one of the most prized dishes of French cuisine. The broth is simple, made merely with caramelized onions and meat stock. However, the soup is distinguished by<em> cro&ucirc;tes&ndash;</em>pieces of crispy baked bread that are placed on top of the soup and are then generously covered with cheese. The assembled dish is finished in the oven, allowing the cheese to melt while the top turns into a golden crust. French onion soup is a dish with a rich history and a very long tradition. The onions have been used since the Roman times, and a similar soup has been known since the Middle Ages. This French classic has been changed through history, establishing its final form in the 17th century. It was primarily known as a simple and hearty traditional dish, but in the 1960s, when French cuisine started to grow in popularity around the world, onion soup became one of its most famous representatives. Today, it can be found in almost every traditional French restaurant, where it is usually served as a starter.</p>

Soupe à l’oignon

When i see duck in the menu i usually give it a try to experience the taste. I told waiter i wanted the duck cooked as medium which was served in that way.

At beginning it felt like a bit dry but eventually the center parts were juicy. Classic sauce was there and i liked it. 

It was served with mashed potatoes they were top quality. It is good to try the taste but it is not something I would order regularly.

It is my first time trying this soup. I always thought it is going to be a raw taste but it wasn’t the case.

So it is not just onion inside also there are breads with young cheese in it which melted. Pretty fine taste to be honest. I couldn’t finish all but it was a nice try. Would I order it again? We will see let’s not make any promises 😂

Also bread was burnt i don’t know if that is how they cook it.
