I've never seen the fun in this.
A tiny steamed black truffle dumpling with aged Parmesan? Now that's fun.
A little glass of mousse of baby peas with ricotta decorated with baby veggies -- yes, please.
Cold foie gras, beet, veg. Mmm,
mmm.
Turbot.
His - breast of pigeon.
Mine - spring lamb.

The stuff in the silver bowl is strawberry ice cream bonbons dramatically perched on dry ice.

ReplyDeletehi, Dani, I wish we could have gotten ur watches synchronized to meet in Paris!
DeleteMay I join DaniBP in your suitcase?
ReplyDeleteOK, now that is just mean.
ReplyDeleteYum!! I'm a stand-outside-the-pub type, usually!
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I remember eating at Aubergine while on a trip back home from Japan with the Mighty Yen in my pocket. It must have been 1993 or so. It was amazing!
loved Aubergine...
DeleteIt all looks and sounds delicious, especially those strawberry ice cream bon bons!!

ReplyDeletemm-hmm
DeleteY'al suuure do know how to eat. I love that little truffle. I've never had one, but I'd try that.

DeleteThis must be a difficult reservation to get. Looks wonderful. ( Isn't he the mean one?)
ReplyDeleteThis is the flagship of the GR empire, nothing mean here!
DeleteLooks like you are doing a good job of eating well across the pond! I have never stood outside a british pub drinking, but it is on the bucket list and certainly every one was doing it when we were there!
ReplyDeletewell, I've never seen the appeal myself, especially when there are so many fine tables to sit at in London. Standing outside pubs in Ireland, yes, because people are talking and laughing, not just chugging.
