Le menu.
Huîtres / daily oysters / cucumber / trout roe. Bright flavors.
Poisson Cru / sliced amberjack / meyer lemon ponzu / serrano oil. Very strong zingy taste with a bit of heat and nice firm but soft texture.
Tartare et Caviar / sea bream tartare / kaluga caviar / herb crème fraiche. Quite excellent with a bit of smokiness.
Mousse au Foie de Volaille / chicken liver tartlet / apple gelée. Delicious and rich.
Carpaccio de Thon / bluefin tuna / preserved pepper / mustard seed. Also bright.
Courgettes / summer squash / labneh / chimichurri / hazelnuts. I don’t even like squash and this was pretty good.
Risotto au Mais / corn / sungold tomato / sage. First rate rissoto texture with a delicious bit of sweetness from the corn balanced with a bit of acidity from the tomatoes.
Coquilles Saint-Jacques / seared scallops / meyer lemon butter / trout roe. Very lovely with a great caviar beurre-blanc.
Cigares de Confit de Canard / duck confit “cigars” / sauce valois. Super crispy with a deep “fried” flavor. Awesome creamy sauce.
Côtes d’Agneau / lamb rib chops / chickpea puree / olive tapenade. Straight up but excellent.
Assiette de Fromage. Cheese plate / honeycomb / sourdough bread.

Eclairs Maison. dark chocolate / sea salt. Nice.
Gâteau au Fromage. crème fraîche cheesecake / passion fruit gelée. Lovely.
Madeleines au Beurre Noisette. Brown butter madeleines / salted honey chantilly. Extremely soft. Not the most typical Madeleines but absolutely delicious. No hint of citrus.
Overall, the food was really good bright modern French “Paris cafe” food. Quite excellent.
