A Lovely Lunch on a Brisk Fall Day

Yesterday, Melanie and I ate lunch at "Les Tablettes - Jean-Louis Nomicos".  We had an exceptionally fine meal and it was easy to see why they were awarded a Michelin star.

Here are some photos:

The decor was simple...

... yet elegant

These complimentary cheese puffs were delicate, flaky, and scrumptious

We started our meal with an amuse-bouche with tomato oil, squash puree, and a dollop of clotted cream

Chicory earth full salad, pear rissoles, beetroot, and stilton cream

Sea urchin bouillon, borage ravioli, shrimp, squid, and bergamot zest

Scallops and caramelized leeks in an oyster sauce

Macaroni, black truffle, and foie gras, in a veal juice sauce. (This one made the hair on my neck stand up!)

Cushion of veal, black truffle, mushrooms, smoked “ratte” potatoes, and tetragon

The traditional cheese plate

Poached pear, dried fruit,”crème brûlée", and pear sorbet 

Hot chocolate tart soufflée and a cocoa sorbet in a mascarpone emulsion

Rum baba, candied cherries, pistachio creme cookies
