Following in Ziggy’s footsteps (Ziggy Does Paris - The Report) after he followed Parn’s advice, we finally wound up at L’Aubergeade tonight. As Parn said, it’s “a bit of a relic” (understatement). Average age of the 8pm tables (sold out) was probably in the 50s & the food came out slowly but efficiently. We were the only table speaking English (& some broken French). Of course, I can only follow Ziggy so far, so nothing we ordered was the same as what he had (see link to his post). Ginny ordered the bone marrow as her entree &, as Parn said, this was very good. My foie was a bit too cold and solid but was more than good enough. We didnt remember to take photos. And the wine was pedestrian, but inexpensive, sold in carafes, ½ carafes & by the glass so we experimented with several. As for the mains (duck & lobster), well we took pictures (something we hardly do) to even try to do them justice. Both great. And the cheese course (instead of the huge, good looking sugar bombs) was fine, especially with digestifs. Total check €105.
We made reservations to return this Sat. eve. If we lived here…. well, you know.
