Mocha Monday

 Today's mocha is due cappuccini with freshly-squeezed orange juice and baguette tartines.

 

Tartine lunch

Simple, light, beautiful lunch entre Parisiennes on the Left Bank.

Above: jambon cru, house mayo on grilled Pain Poilâne; miso soup starter

A terrace lunch

Clockwise: sweet green peppers grilled in bacon; heirloom tomatoes in olive oil w/garlic toasts; roasted duck breast on bed of caramelized onions tartines; pickled vegetables

(Not shown: smoked salmon grain mustard cream tartines; chilled green pea soup w/fresh mint; red wines from Bergerac)

Barrel tables were pushed together so we could all sit together and share.

 

Dessert: pain perdu, forerunner of French Toast, served w/homemade vanilla (bean) ice cream; espressos
