We went to Montée for lunch this past Tuesday. Since someone asked for pictures, I’ve included several.
Here’s the lunch tasting menu in English (I forgot to ask for one in French - most food sounds so much better in French):
We started with very nice amuse: cheese biscuits and smoked eggplant squares
Next was quail egg with a peach/bacon sauce. I quite liked it, but my wife didn’t.
My favorite dish was the mackerel tartare with black lemon and fennel. Even my wife who’s not usually a fan of tartares really enjoyed it.
Next was squid over tiny pasta with Cocos de Paimpol beans and chorizo - good but nothing more.
Next was mullet with a fabulous potato. Not innovative, but tasty.
The main was duck breast with chanterelles and sprouts. Again not innovative, but executed very well.
The first dessert was a pavlova with strawberries and lemon ice cream - really tasty and a bit “different" / creative.
The second dessert was deconstructed caramel popcorn: innovative to see but just good.
Overall, nothing wow, but at 55E, an excellent value, with very nice service from the hostess.
