The scattering of zucchini, beet and carrot colors a plate that might otherwise be dull. Cooked perfectly medium rare, the tuna was as luxurious as it was appealing. The rare meat against the almost bitter sauce was startling and satisfying, even in this steak-saturated town. The skin had toughened from sitting too long, and the breast was stringy. Open-face apple tart with a scoop of ice cream is served warm, so the rich vanilla ice cream melts into the sweet fruit filling and rich butter crust.
Chocolate mousse is the creamy chocolate variety, light and airy, deceptively so.
Well, of course. Patrick promised that I'd love it. The romantic setting and Parisian atmosphere beg for leisurely service. Le Paris Bistrot is no place to hurry through a meal. Lunch maybe, but dinner never.
