Location: Restaurant Auguste by Gael Orieux


 Again, it was a proof that eating in a Michelin Star restaurant is so relaxing, 
as service is so welcoming and attentive, and you can order everything 
from the menu, and can be sure it tastes good. No, wait good is not appropriate
 - call it taste-joy-explosion in your mouth.

We enjoyed a 3-course lunch menu at "Auguste" by Gael Orieux,
 near Eiffel Tower in Paris. (This is the moment you are allowed 
to squeak "How romantic!!") Yes it was a nice day and even a bit romantic. 
But this was not our priority. We just liked to enjoy the best of Paris - sights, 
atmosphere and of course exceptional good food.

I can only recomman the very small "Auguste", as the dishes are 
elaborate but not sophisticated. Delicate tastes, nothing over spiced, 
made with love and passion.This was my menu:

 
Duck fois gras with pineapple chutney and pickled onions#:
 it was delicious, nevertheless I don't seem to be a big fois gras fan.

Juicy veal filet with chard, potatoes and plum sauce: so simple but so good. 
Fresh herbs and perfect timing make this dish an unforgettable joy.

Cassis sorbet, chestnut cream and meringue "mushrooms":
light, delicious and thoughtful. The sour cassis sorbet went very well 
with the creamy and sweet chestnut and the crunchy meringue.
