I highly recommend giving it a try! ✅ Total: 66€ per person (original price: 116€). ✨ Appetizers: 🔸 Pane carasau is a specialty flatbread from an Italian island 🇮🇹. It’s ultra-thin and crispy, topped with tarame, a Greek 🇬🇷 and Turkish 🇹🇷 caviar cream sauce 🧀, and sprinkled with green and yellow lemon zest 🍋. (The chickpeas at the bottom are not edible—trust me on this one). 🔸 Thinly sliced raw scallops 🦆. The scallops are barely marinated but have no raw fishy taste. They’re fresh and tender, topped with crunchy pomegranate seeds and a salty yuzu jelly 🍋, with a hint of yuzu fragrance. There’s a layer of chive cream 🌱 at the bottom, adding extra flavor. 🔸 Snails 🐌. There are two or three snails at the bottom of the bowl, covered with shiitake mushroom shreds 🍄, and the whole thing is wrapped in a parsley mousse 🌿. The mousse is made with whipped cream, giving it a dense and milky texture 🫧 with a strong parsley flavor. It’s best to serve it quickly as it can easily deflate. It’s served with a baguette 🥖, and the crispy fried bread crumbs on top add a nice texture. If you’ve never had snails, don’t worry—they don’t have much flavor on their own, and the meat is chewy. I personally enjoy them. ✨ Main Courses: 🔸 Roasted white sea bream 🐟. The fish skin is perfectly crispy, and the fish is cooked just right. It’s topped with a few fresh watercress leaves and trout roe, adding a touch of brininess. The bottom is paired with watercress sauce and braised leeks. 🔸 Roasted duck breast 🍗. The duck is crispy-skinned but not greasy, incredibly tender. The bottom is paired with parsnip purée and yellow beetroot chunks, along with two slices of kumquat 🍊, adding a sweet and refreshing flavor. The sauce is a reduced duck jus with a slight sweetness. ✨ Desserts: 🔸 Lemon and orange sorbet 🍋🍊. It’s tastier than expected, with a sweet fruity aroma and a slightly bitter citrus flavor. The sorbet has a creamy texture that melts in your mouth. 🔸 Nut and chocolate mousse 🍫. This is a signature dish. The outer layer is warm chocolate mousse, while the inside is cold vanilla ice cream. The bottom has a layer of buttery crumbs and caramelized nuts. #HighlyRecommendedLocalFood #ParisDaily #ParisLife #Paris #100RestaurantAdventures #FrenchCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurant #WesternFood #Michelin #PrettyFood
