Mystery Diner Chez Moi

415 W. State St., Geneva (331) 248-0654 chezmoigeneva.com GENEVA – While the frigid cold swirled around outside, I was warming up with a hot vanilla latte, seated at a dainty table for two in a Parisian-style café – the perfect escape from a whirlwind of a winter and just what I needed to see me through the rest of the work day. The escape – Chez Moi. Chez Moi, which loosely translates to “my place” or “at home” in French, is a cutesy enclave in downtown Geneva. Its owner, operator, designer and executive chef Beth Simone Cull studied at the Cordon Bleu Culinary School.

According to the Chez Moi website, Cull still travels back to France when she can, but – instead – brought a “slice of Paris a bit closer to home.”

Chez Moi is primarily a breakfast and lunch spot.

It can cater to the early morning on-the-go crowd and dine-in clientele. Menu items include breakfast sandwiches, ham-and-cheese croissants, crepes, French toast, galettes, quiches and salads.

For caffeine cravings, Chez Moi satisfies with an assortment of specialty drinks, espressos and cappuccinos, using coffee from PapaNicholas Coffee in Batavia.

The dining room’s exposed brick, ornate chandeliers and antique copper ceiling tile gave the room a vintage-chic feel. Seemingly, the front part of the restaurant’s interior is made to look like an outdoor café with light from outside streaming in; outdoor café-style chairs; chalkboards reading the day’s specials; and a dessert display case for carry-out traffic.

The elongated portion of the dining room is slightly more decorous and equipped with a bar (serving beer and wine) at the back of the room.

Around 12:30 p.m. on a Thursday the place was packed.

Kane County Chronicle

My dining companion ordered the Croque Madame ($9), a grilled ham and Gruyere cheese sandwich with Bechamel sauce and topped with a fried egg.

Sandwiches come with a salad or fresh fruit. She also ordered the Diabolo Menthe, a lemon-lime soda with shot of mint syrup.

My companion thoroughly enjoyed the Croque Madame, and said her “sandwich was flavorful and filling,” and that “the egg on top was a great way to tie the meat, bread and cheese of the sandwich together.”

I ordered the Galette ($9-$10) – a traditional French savory crêpe made with buckwheat (gluten-free) and topped with a dollop of crème fraîche. The filling I chose was the sausage, egg, apples, arugula, smoked Mozzarella and balsamic glaze. You can substitute the buckwheat crepe for flour, which I recommend doing as the flavor of the buckwheat isn’t necessarily as appealing as flour to the American palate.

We ended the meal with the Chocolate Bread Pudding ($4.50). Warm, sweet and savory, the bread pudding had a chocolate-sauce drizzle that added a hint of bitterness to the sugar component.

My escape to Paris via Chez Moi proved a success and an experience that I undoubtedly will be duplicating. Until next time, bon appétit!

Mystery Diner State Street Diner

630 W. State St., Geneva (331) 248-0646 statestdiner.com GENEVA – There are very few things more quintessentially American than a diner.

The sounds of a griddle sizzling, coffee cups clanking, incessant chatter from a cramped dining room and the round-the-clock smell of bacon and eggs create a sense of nostalgia. A charming, all-American town like Geneva would be amiss without one.

When the iconic Mel’s Diner closed, I was thrilled to find that it was being replaced by another diner.

The owners of Mel’s reopened as State Street Diner in the same location (630 W. State St.), offering customers a reinvented menu featuring American diner-type entrees alongside authentic Mexican food.

After walking through a forest green door into a crimson-colored building on the corner of State and 7th streets, my dining companion and I scanned a slender baby-blue dining room for a place to plop.

“Just sit wherever?” I questioned the waitress standing behind the counter – a pot of coffee in her hand.

“Yep, sit wherever you want,” she said warmly.

The row of tables lining the wall with the window were occupied, so we chose a two-top near the rear of the restaurant.

My dining companion and I inspected a hefty menu serving a compilation of hearty as well as health-conscious American and Mexican breakfast items, salads, tacos, burritos and a bevy of burgers and sandwich selections.

My dining companion looked instantly intrigued – “I’ll have that.”

I opted for a half order of the Biscuits and Gravy ($2.99) and a Southwestern Chicken Skillet ($8.99) with home fries (or hash browns) green peppers, onions and cheddar cheese with scrambled eggs and a side of wheat toast (English muffins are also available).

The impeccable service continued when our orders appeared in front of us in no time at all.

My attention quickly turned to the burrito. It’s heft and girth, and colorful splaying of homemade red ranchero sauce, melted cheese, guacamole and creme, certainly made an entrance.

The tightly wrapped tortilla kept chicken, refried beans, rice, lettuce, avocado sauce and MORE cheese intact.

As I sliced through its layers from top to bottom, I also realized that my mouth was no match for this burrito.

Anyone with an appetite, on a budget and not wanting to sacrifice quality for quantity or price, needs to visit State Street Diner and get the Burrito Suizo with chicken, chipotle chicken, steak or carnitas.

Sitting in a plateful of pork-infused gravy, the biscuits were soft and teamed nicely with the creaminess of the gravy.

“Do you have any recommendations – it’s our first time?” I asked.

It may seem strange ordering Mexican dishes at an American-style diner, but if you think about it; that is the epitome of American culture.

Pointing to the back of the menu, the waitress mentioned Mexican dishes such as the Burrito Suizo (starting at $6.99), comparing its size to that of a football.

The beauty of State Street Diner is that you can order bacon, eggs and flapjacks one day and Huevas a la Mexicana the next.

Mystery Diner Altiro Latin Fusion

308 Anderson Blvd., Geneva (630) 232-7717 altiro.webs.com GENEVA – If there is one restaurant that deserves to be at the top of a Fox Valley foodie’s bucket list, I can confidently say that Altiro Latin Fusion in Geneva is it.

Often compared to the popular Geneva eatery Bien Trucha, and voted “Best New Restaurant” in the Kane County Chronicle’s Readers’ Choice Awards for 2013, the tapas-style enclave presents customers with inventive dishes fit with mostly locally-purchased, fresh, organic ingredients.

Having visited Altiro twice now – once for dinner and once for lunch – the friendly service, contemporary-rustic decor and powerful punches of flavor exploding from nearly every item listed on the menu, has catapulted the Latin-infused eatery to elite status, without making it available exclusively to the financially unencumbered. That’s the beauty.

With fair and honest pricing, it is a place that ANYONE can come, share and enjoy.

The inventive array of cocktails are made with care, and the unique bevy of flavors swirling within synchronize together beautifully. Drinks will run about the same price as a tapas order. The Al Peppino ($9.99) cocktail uses jalapeño-infused vodka with organic agave nectar, cucumber cilantro and fresh lime. All of Altiro’s drinks are prepared with freshly muddled organic produce, organic agave nectar and freshly-squeezed juices.

Dinner favorites included the Al Raviole ($9.99), which came with four large creamy-serrano, pestolathered, red-pepper ravioli casero topped with Basque jumbo shrimp; and the Al Camaronchizo ($10.99), which is four tacos filled with Basque shrimp and chorizo with avocado slaw and chipotle aioli.

The menu can be slightly cumbersome to maneuver, 10

Kane County Chronicle

because rather than explaining what a dish is, it lists the ingredients, which tend to pop up in multiple menu items. It may behoove first-timers to ask fellow diners or the Altiro staff for recommendations.

What is quickly becoming an Altiro specialty based on the dish’s popularity is the Al Mejillon ($9.99) – a bowl of Prince Edward Island mussels with chistorra, roasted tomato chile de arbol tequila sauce served with grilled rustic points. Dip any remaining bits of bread in the smokey, tomato-based tequila reduction sauce, which I would even consider drinking on its own. (Bloody Mary mix substitute?)

The Spanish-influenced Al Calambre ($9.99) came with a jumbled layering of grilled skirt steak, roasted peppers, pina-red onions, chihuahua cheese and tomatillo-avocado salsa atop four pieces of grilled, open-faced, buttered Italian bread. This lunch-timeonly item has a seafood counterpart that comes with sautéed chipotle shrimp, melted chihuahua cheese, lettuce, avocado, grilled pina and Mayo.

The Mexican Key Lime Pie’s festive arrangement on a slender piece of slate is equal parts visually appealing and sweet. Four spoonful-sized dollops of pie were topped with a sliver of strawberry that evened out the sweetness with a morsel of tartness. In one bite, the sugary dessert immediately refreshed the palate with a cold burst of flavor.

Altiro’s menu will leave diners reeling from the innovative burst of flavors intricately spliced together in each dish. Try anything, or everything, and you will be happy with the outcome, regardless.
