Laloux

Going to Laloux tonight, is it worth going for the full degustation? I rarely turn down that opportunity anywhere.

Help.

I didn't realize Laloux ran degustation menus. The website doesn't seem to have one posted and it doesn't strike me as the kind of place that would run multi-course menus (except maybe for special occasions). When I've been, I've generally gone with four courses (starter, main, cheese, desert) plus the chicken liver pate you get at the sttart of the meal. Still, I could very well be wrong on this one.

Write back on your experience, though. The past couple times I've been I've found the food to be really uneven. Service too has ranged from out of their way good to sub-par. Wine list is good, with lots of special imports. It would be good to hear some more up to date information, though.

I disagree.

Laloux is better than Pop and the wine list is more extensive. At least that was the case last fall and I haven't heard anything goo about Pop since. In fact, quite the opposite.

I don't think there is a tasting menu at Laloux, but I would highly recommend the tourte de gibier, the liver with raspberry vinegar (if available but it might be a lunch thing) and fish is always good (Besson is a fish specialist). The lamb was excellent when I was last there and we had a wicked Spanish wine to go with.

And have Le Grand Dessert. It's really old-fshioned and lovely.

Excellent, thank you all. I thought I saw a degustation on the website ... there was one for $75 I could have sworn.

But alas, the dinner was cancelled because of the storm. So my report will have to wait.

I disagree also, pop is an image of it's original promise. I never understood why the roiginal chef MS Picard left that place and would be very happy to know where she went, without her, that place is just... nice furniture. They do not compare really.
