Eunoé
Not bad, but probably the most disappointing meal of the trip. Too many variables involves for all of us to agree on every place I suppose. Its quirky, the staff is young and friendly, and this is perhaps the first small menu we’ve encountered that we wished was bigger. Normally I’m a fan of small concentrated menus. The smaller the better. But out of the three mains, duck (had a duckfest for lunch), mushrooms (the one thing she doesnt eat), we were essentially left with a very large fish for 2-3.
Early on it was more or less promising. The beets and goat cheese dish was fine, but fairly basic. Got bored with it midway. We couldnt pass on another tartare because we are suckers for “our signature”. It arrived like an ice cream cone, with the egg “topping” inside of it. You supposed to demolish it and mix, and it broke down as soon as I picked it up. The flavor after mixing it up was nice. Probably the best tasting tartare of the trip.
The large dish turned out to be a monkfish, and it suffered the same fate as the beets… boredom. Large chunks of Monkfish with a bunch of other stuff as you can see, most of which uneventful. The broth was fine. But when I think of the many large fish dishes we’ve had, I expect whole fish with bigger, bolder flavors, especially in an Asian or Asian inspired. I just dont think Monkfish works as a large dish.
We opted to skip dessert and have crepes by the Iphone Tower.
