Amuse bouche
Entree – Pig’s trotter (diced) on top of crusted bread
Main – Roulade of chicken – Another “explosion” of flavours. Can chicken taste any better??
Cheese course – nice soft cheese with nut/raisin bread, but we are definitely not “cheese” people... only managed a few bites
Pineapple and passionfruit sorbet and cream. Wonderful balance of sweetness and sourness.
Mrs Chan’s strawberries with basil+lime sorbet. She loved it a lot!
Thoughts on LTdJR...
Food 9-9.5. All excellent of course, but I liked Pierre Gagnaire a little more.
Ambience - 9. A bit more casual than PG, but very attractive with the black/gold scheme. Nice crockeries too.
Service - 9. English was excellent and service was a little less formal than PG.
Value - 10. At 55E/pp for a 2-star restaurant, this was terrific value (in Paris' sense). The price also included wine and coffee/tea.
Overall - 9.5.
Will I come back? I would think so if the price stays. Very enjoyable meal that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Mac – Pierre Herme again
Flavours – Choc/Passionfruit, Jasmin, Salted caramel and Rose.
Versailles
One of the most well-known Palaces in the world, I just had to go there to have a look. I didn’t get to see this in my last 2 visits to Paris. It took about 30mins on the RER train.
Hall of mirrors
This golf cart saved our legs in such a massive garden. I highly recommend this if you want to see more of the garden than your sore feet.
The Orangerie
