This restaurant served hand-made noodles. Here is their version of Beef-noodle soup. The broth is really bland compared to the real stuff, probably because the French don’t like too many spices. It was more like noodles in a beef stock. But it was fresh and light.
We didn’t start the mise en place until around 16h30. It was all good though.
First course (Amanda)– gambas marinated in coconut milk, ginger, and lime juice.
Second course (Amir) – scallops in a yogurt/curry sauce, and epinards.
I invited Rudy over for dinner. The other girl is the cousin of Amir’s roommate.
Third course (Amir) – monk fish and artichauts in an olive marinade.
Fourth course (Amir) – Duck breast, pear and noisette with brown butter, potatoes
Fifth course (Me) – Filet de beouf marinaded in olive oil, oregano, and garlic, then roasted with lardo. Sauces – reduced port, tzaziki sauce (not pictured). Epinards with crisp lardo.
Sixth & Seventh course (Amanda, me) – Bailey’s chocolate ice-cream, figues financiers.
Eighth course – Fromage, of course !
Dinner was so delicious! It was nice to make things the way we wanted to.
And we did some arm wrestling afterwards.
By the end of the night, we were all having food coma. Especially Amir. His eyes were half-closed while he was still standing up. I think our meal was a success.
