So I meet with a friend for lunch. It was her birthday so I had agreed to go with her to this special French Restaurant called La ferme de L'hopital.
We were lucky the weather was nice so we were sitting outside. I can't remember the last I eat so much - I don't think I have to eat for the rest of the weekend! I have inserted some picture of our what we got.
picture above shows the entree, however first we got the Amuse bouche
which is a small which was melon soup and creme brulee with foie-gras. Sounds special but it was really good. I won't go into the ethical discussion of this just say it tested really well. However, back to my entree which was again foie-gras with pistachios.
My main plate was then Dorade royale, en filet, ravioli de fenouil confit et coriandre
Sabayon de coquillages, chips de son bulbe - yummy! On top of that cheese, a ris au lait - creme brulee with berries - as I though that was it - by then I thought I could roll home! instead of taking the car. That was not it -then there was chocolate cake, one of those that are runny inside with some sorbet on top! then coffee and of course as you will see from the next picture a little something for the coffee!
Ok I don't quite get this layout - but I guess it will look better next time.
It funny I was just thinking write this is a bit like talking to your self!
Anyway as you can imaging it was not cheap - but it is not something I do everyday - and once in a while it is good to do something that is a bit more elegant than eating cheese fondue or rosti!!
Maybe I should mentioned that this morning I was up to early to get photos of the Bol d'or race - however, I did see the boats later when I went shopping - but of course I had left the camera at home. ( picture next year!)
