Lobster season is finally here. After a short break, this delicious crustacean is finally back on our plates. The best ways to pair lobster are usually the most classic, but at Toujours Mikes, we prove the opposite!

To awaken your appetite, here are the best side dishes to serve with lobster according to our chefs.

Pair with lobster with ease

What is lobster without garlic butter? Garlic butter is probably the perfect side dish to serve with lobster. In fact, the most minimalist gourmands only need a pile of hand towels, a shell cracker and a good bowl of garlic butter to enjoy the full flavour of this shellfish. A simple garlic butter is perfectly suitable, whether melted in the microwave or in a frying pan over low heat. Otherwise, for a touch of citrus fruit, add a little lemon juice and parsley to your melted butter and enjoy!

Caesar salad: a light but essential side dish

Served alone, steamed or boiled lobster with a little melted butter is excellent. But what should you do when you want something more elaborate? There are many possibilities, and at Toujours Mikes restaurants, we are happy to offer you the most delicious side dishes available. Our chefs especially recommend Caesar salad. A generous and crispy Caesar salad with romaine lettuce and parmesan cheese pairs wonderfully with lobster and makes it a simple but delicious feast. The mild lemony taste of Caesar vinaigrette contrasts perfectly with the flavour of the shellfish.

Tempt your taste buds with this surprising combination

Another excellent side dish for lobster is potatoes. The most traditional among you will choose the baked potato with a knob of butter and a good dollop of sour cream. However, the more adventurous will probably want to try something else, like a lobster poutine. Surprising, isn’t it? The family-favourite poutine meets the more refined character of the lobster to create a truly surprising meal.

When seafood and creativity go hand in hand

If you stick with the starchy foods (which are so tasty), good old-fashioned crispy bread is still an essential choice. Grilled on a wood stove with herb butter, bread is the perfect way to lop up lobster juices. By the way, the lobster bisque from Mikes restaurants is a creamy and velvety soup served with an exquisite homemade crouton. Why not dare to try something different and unconventional by choosing a lobster gondola instead? As you know, gondolas are one of the most liked meals at Toujours Mikes. During lobster season, our chefs will be delighted to serve you this crustacean gondola. Simple, but frighteningly flavourful.

Enjoy a good lobster with the best side dishes

There are so many side dishes to enjoy with lobster. Why not indulge yourself and have a glass of wine between bites? At Toujours Mikes, we have just what you need: a good and cold white wine to that pairs perfectly with any of our lobster meals.
