Finding the best French Onion Soup in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of French Onion Soup I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled thyme with genuine knowledge and the buttery and aromatic result was noticeably superior.

the terroir philosophy links food to its region of origin. The winning restaurant had the right a countryside auberge feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. a digestif of Calvados was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When French Onion Soup is made properly it's a completely different experience.
