Our first experience of eating in a Michelin starred restaurant in France, Christian Etienne in Avignon.
The restaurant is overlooking the courtyard outside the Palais des Pape.
I chose the Tomato menu starting with Heirloom Noire de Crimée tomato cappuccino with garlic
We enjoyed one of the best tables in the house!
King crab legs rolled in romaine lettuce leaves, preserved Roma tomato slices, fresh mint and lemon caviar, pearl barley salad
Tomato tartare of red Cœur de bœuf and orange Ananas heirlooms, summer salad
with olive oil
with olive oil
Puff pastry with Provençal snails, chopped Roma tomatoes sprinkled
with parsley and garlic
Pan-roasted slice of monkfish with pipérade and parsley croutons, Mediterranean fish stew
Eggplant cannelloni with lamb stuffing, roast Marmande heirloom tomato slices,
onion sauce
onion sauce
A peanut and chocolate brittle finished everything perfectly!
Whilst Karen had the Apricot, fruit and ice cream dessert.
But as ever her favourite course was the cheeseboard.
And to aid the digestion........
Fabulous service, food, wine & service - go treat yourself!
