Details of the meal:
-Tapenade de tofu au cari rouge, miel, basilic ET Vinaigre de Mirin - That was complemented by some fresh baked steamed rice bread: The tofu tapenade with red curry, honey and basilic was unctuous, delicious, flavorful. Excellent. Top marks to The Mirin vinegar. The bread was enjoyably light, airy, soft and fluffy.
-Soupe froide de concombre, Sorbet de cantaloup au Basilic Thai - This soup, made cold (soupe froide) consisted of little cucumber dices of different colors that provided a charming crunchy-ness to the overall soup. In the middle, a light sorbet of cantaloup and Thai basil. The little "pipette" that you see on top of the sorbet is filled with Parsley oil. Not great, Not bad. Refreshing.
-Tarte de foie gras préssé aux oignons caramelisés, bacon, foam de boudin, pickel de legumes - The tart, filled with pressed foie gras, was definitely made of high quality foie gras with perfect velvety and meaty consistency, dense, rich. It was topped by a delicious light, airy foam of black pudding (Excellent) and accompanied with veggies (radish, caramelized onions, mushrooms, arugula) that were worked so well.
-Langue de Boeuf de Kobe, Moutarde Japonaise BBQ, Saute de Calamars aux herbes Thai - The braised Kobe Beef tongue was of impeccable tenderness, packed with a great depth of beefy flavor and an enjoyable smokyness to it (Excellent). Top marks to the savourish and well cooked calamaris.
-Kobe Beef burger: nicely baked bun, outstanding deep beefy upfront flavors. Excellent
Service was professional, helpful and friendly.
