A trio of appetizers joins the cocktail while waiting for the starters: egg scramble with truffle, foie gras with fig chutney, or even guacamole and salmon, these three little tartlets which play on guilty pleasures ensure the transition to gluttony. HAS the Verrièrethe menu highlights French know-how with essentials including onion gratin soup, snails or even mont d’or to share while offering a snack offer between club sandwich, lobster rolls, burger and croque -Sir. Depending on the schedule, you can also taste the signature dishes of the Café de la Paix.
As the end-of-year holidays approach, we will have turned to the stars of the festive tables, the duck foie gras confit with a very melting texture accompanied by its fig chutney, grapes as well as a toasted country bread, as well as Gillardeau oysters n°3 with soft, slightly sweet notes.
Wishing to stay with maritime flavors, our choice will have fallen towards one of the signature dishes of Café de la Paix, the back of lean Corsican label rouge. The pearly flesh quickly yields to our fork and demonstrates mastered steam cooking which manages to faithfully preserve the taste. The fish here is accompanied by a braised endive fondue with rosemary full of flavors, red amaranth and a marinated butter blanc with marine plankton whose iodized accents accentuate those of the lean meat.
For dessert, what could be more appropriate than to fall for theOpéra ? This French pastry is sure to become a favorite for chocolate and coffee lovers. The principle? A succession of delicious layers alternating between a Mona Lisa biscuit, chocolate ganache, and coffee buttercream. The opera served here has powerful notes of cocoa and coffee, to the delight of purists. Be careful not to have your eyes bigger than your stomach, the portion is quite generous.
