They love the food and the atmosphere, in the bar or dining
room. One famous trainer,” Elodie recalls, “after coming back
every day for two weeks, brought friends along to celebrate the
winning of his horse. They stayed until after closing, laughing and
cheering, and sharing wine with us. It was a good time and a
great memory!”
With such a fresh and vibrant menu at their fingertips, do Patrice
and Elodie have their own favorite choices? “That’s a tough question,”
she says with a smile. “Patrice loves the seared foie gras we
serve as an appetizer, either on homemade gingerbread or olive
cake. Then, he would take the rack of lamb, herb and mustardcrusted,
with truffle mashed potatoes. I love when we have mussels
and fries. Otherwise I’ll always go for our hand-cut beef filet.
It’s always cooked to perfection and so juicy!”
“Food and wine are like ambassadors for France,” Patrice concludes.
“Coming to Ocala, a place that has become home to
Elodie, myself, and our two children, has been a dream come
true. Although we have been here since 2009, it still feels like we
are just getting started.”
At La Cuisine of Ocala, the Perron family -- like their horse show
guests -- have found their stride.
