Unexpected nice experience in a one Michelin Star restaurant in the center of France
On the way back after nice holidays, my wife, son and I have had the great pleasure to make a stop at Brive-la-Gaillarde in France to enjoy a very nice and unexpected lunch in a one Michelin Star restaurant.
It was a true great experience and a very nice discovery. But, above all, I take my hat off to the Chef who is alone in his kitchen to prepare such a meal for 18 people. Truly impressive.
Below few shots of the gastronomic menu. I hope they'll whet one's appetite 😉
Appetisers
Home made foie gras with summer truffles
Sea bass tartare and lobster
Monkfish and lobster raviole
Veal sweetbread (one of my favourite dish)...
... served with mashed potatoes with nutmeg foam
Cheese and salad
Mango dessert
Blackcurrant ice and macaron with violet flavour
And my personal touch with napkin rings 😁
Best wishes

Oh yes. Unfortunately, summer truffles have less taste than winter ones. But that was ok 😉

I have such appalling tastes! -)
when it comes to food because as delicious as your meal looks, I could never get full on such small servings! Last year, on my birthday, I decided to spend it in Geneva at the Patek Salon and museum. For dinner, I went to Auberge du lion d'or, a lovely restaurant on a hill over looking Lake Geneva. Patek had organised a meal there during a factory visit and I told myself that I must make a return visit. After enjoying the seven course tasting menu, my partner and I adjourned to McDonalds for some tasty chicken wings!! 
I'm a big eater and each time I eat in a gourmet restaurant, I'm not hungry when the meal is over. But I can understand your feeling. You're probably a bigger eater than I 😁

Guilty as charged! :-)
I do admire people who can appreciate fine dining. Perhaps just as well so that I can direct my funds to fine watches
I have to confess that both food and watches are my two biggest weaknesses 😉

My parents went to Brazil 15 years ago and the fruit that they really enjoyed was mango. Much more tasty than imported ones in Europe (or at least France) for them
