Urgent Advice Sought- 2 wk France Trip

[Wimpy]

Lizzie-

I could find no fault in Au Crocodile's staff with respect to attitude and service. Believe me, am always on the lookout for signs of French chauvinism but was totally disappointed in that regard in this case. In fact, someone on this site mentioned that the loss of a Michelin star often leads to renewed commitment to improve! Perhaps it was fortunate for me then, that Au Crocodile was recently demoted.

The Menu we had was as follows (Euro 120 ea)

Caille conifteau Foied'Oie "Marechal de Contades" or Foie de Canard poele aux Peches et Gingembre

Turbot roti et Polenta cremeuse a la Truffe d'Ete

Langoustines et Puree Belle de Fontenay Cressonniere au Massala

Consomme Chanteclerc et Quenelles de Fromage blanc

Medaillon de Veau e son Palet de Pied aux Girolles

Fromages de France

Brimblier a L'Amandine Creme Vanille Bourbon

Nougat glace a la Bergamote et a la Mangue

Mignardises
