Lunch - 7 Jan - Les Epicuriens

We ate extremely well here today for lunch.
Started off with a lovely kir and plate of toasts and tapenade (that you could tell had come from olives instead of a machine).
That was followed by a great combination of smoke salmon and gravlox, both serviced on potato slices with sauces to complement the fish. My wife had a great feuillet of leeks and mushrooms.
To help move all of that along, we were served a lovely small dish of duck in a confit of figue - yummy!
Next was the main course of incredibly tender and flavorful filet mignon with mashed potatoes like I have never before enjoyed them! My wife had wonderful rouget fillets on a coulis of legumes.
To go with all this was a great bottle of rose - organic - from Seillans in the Var - Domaine Coulomb.
And, finally, a chocolate mousse following the recipe of the chef's grandmother. She was super!
And some fine coffee to end the meal from Malongo, the local coffee brewer.
Another wonderful Groupon introduction!
