Katy and I just had our first dinner in Paris at Drouant near Opera. The menu was a bit confusing at first but hors d'oeuvres were presented as a grouping of four tiny dishes of either legumes, fish, or meat. Katy chose the legumes and I chose the fish. I got fried marlin, sardines, tartare of dorado, and crab with avocado and fish jelly. Everything was fabulous. We drank it all down with a chablis. For our plat we both chose the pork belly which came with four side dishes that we shared: cream of spinach (with insanely thick cream), orzo, fennel puree, and homemade potato chips. We finished dinner off with ice cream and sorbet.
When I left to go to the bathroom our waiter, Andre, leaned over Katy and told her she was a sublime beauty. He was sad when we left. "You're leaving? Already? You're tired? You'll come back though, right?"
