Lunch - 9 Jan - La Cantine

We ate very nicely here last night. Quite simple and straightforward. Had a good bottle of Var rose wine - Venus de Pinchinot. Started off with a kir royale, followed by main courses of lamb chops (hard to cut, but great to eat) and noix St Jacque (very tasty), accompanied by pureed potatoes and vegetables. Finished up with a brownie in a sauce anglaise plus a tarte tatin with very nice ice cream atop it and a cafe to close the meal.

Earlier draft: We had a nice dinner at this place. Very simple, but tasty. Started out with a kir royale which was good, followed by main courses of Noix St Jacques and lamb chops. The scallops were very nice with various purees of potatoes and vegetables on the plate, as with the lamb which was difficult to cut off the bones, but once done, it was very good indeed. Wound up with a kind of brownie in a white sauce (bechamel?) and a tarte tatin with some ice cream atop it. Washed that down with a nice rose from the Var.
