Today we came to Menton for (early) celebration of our anniversary. It's been almost 2 years since we last visited here. |
The second amuse bouche was the corn bread with caviar. This was just OK. |
The third one was the deviled eggs made with quail eggs. |
My husband ordered the Italian white wine that was recommended by our waiter. |
I didn't taste it, but he loved this wine. |
A mini croissant was then served - we had teh same thing last time. |
Finally our course started. The first dish I ordered was the fluke crudo with coconut sorbet, kaffir lime and oxalis. |
My husband chose the torchon of foie gras de canard with big cherries and pistachio. |
For my husband it was the grey mullet with barley, spring onion and chanterelle. |
This was not bad, but it tasted rather plain and boring. I liked the chanterelle, though. |
My husband ordered the porcelet (3-ways). The front one was the crispy pork belly. |
I chose the dessert called "Framboise", but this was not very impressive. |
This is my husband's dessert, the tonka bean panna cotta. |
This was better than mine - I especially loved the pink peppercorn ice cream and mini canelé. |
After the dinner we walked to the Fish Pier to see the tall ships that were visiting Boston. |
More than 10 ships came 3 (?) years ago but this year there were only 4. But the ships were illuminated at night and very beautiful. |
