Laforet uses white, gold-rimmed china. Tablecloths and napkins are white damask. Soft whipped butter comes in little crocks. The good warm rolls are made in the restaurant kitchen. The palate cleanser is a tart grapefruit ice, truly palate cleansing.
Servers are well-trained.
The chef sends out a plate of small canap s before dinner, and another with small sweets after dessert. Oh, yes, dessert. The dessert medley is a good choice, even if you're not having the gourmand dinner. Two or more can share it. We can also recommend the lemon tart, a creamy lemon custard baked in a sweetened crust and served with berries, and the nougatine dacquoise crust with honey mascarpone mousse and white chocolate glaze.
