Demi pigeon roti, aubergine. Roasted potatoes, eggplant, two types of root purees. Entree/Plat/Dessert option 28€
L’Epigramme, Paris FR
When I saw pigeon on the menu, I know I had to try it! And I’m SO glad I did because everything on the plate was absolutely amazing! The pigeon was fairly pink so I was initially wary (maybe I should have asked for well done), but it actually tasted great and was super tender. I immediately fell in love with the potatoes and eggplant; they were expertly prepared and SO delicious! The purees were also very flavorful and I just wanted to lick my plate clean. NOM NOMS!
Chardonny and rose wines.
You really can’t eat a meal of this caliber and not have some wine! This was a perfect lunch and a great way to spend our last full day in Paris.
Eiffel Tower, Champ de Mars. Wow, the area around the Eiffel Tower is so unreal. The place is completely unique and doesn’t remind me of anywhere else in the world. There’s so much green space and the tower is an enormous and majestic beacon visible from anywhere. SO awesome!
uh … yikes!
I hope that’s a good “yikes”. lol
😉 let’s say = surprise!
Beautiful photo of the Eiffel Tower!
Thanks Kiyo! I took it after I reboarded a tour bus.
Never really tasted pigeon yet. How does it taste? Is it similar to chicken ?
It was similar to chicken, only slightly more gamey.
The meal as described sounds better than life. I love that you tried the pigeon, since it is not a readily available item here in the US – a food adventurer! You’ll remember this meal, wine and the Eiffel Tower for a while… Nice! Oh, and it looked liked the pigeon was prepared perfectly – it appears that around 144F is the ideal internal temperature.
Lol! I’ll have to carry a pocket thermometer next time. 😉
That would be a sight to see! HA. 😉
