Vanilla ice cream, whipped creme fraiche. $8
Le Diplomate, Washington DC
This dessert was delicious! But then I do love tarte tatins. This one was especially good and beautiful. I loved the large apple wedges and their magnificent color. The fruit still had a pleasant firmness to them which made them even better. Noms!
Cafe latte. $4.50
Orchids, US Botanic Garden Conservatory.
Squash, zucchini, tomato. $29
Le Diplomate, Washington DC
Hmm, this wasn’t my favorite. There was something bitter and a bit fishy to this dish that I didn’t enjoy. It’s weird because I had brunch here the day prior and everything was great. Why couldn’t dinner be equally as fabulous. Perhaps I ordered the wrong things…
Washington Monument.
Pain d’epice, huckleberry mustard. $15
Le Diplomate, Washington DC
Mmm, this appetizer was heaven! The foie gras parfait was whipped to an light, silky texture and it was so delicious with the toast and huckleberry. It was very rich but I tried my best to finish it throughout the meal. Noms!

US Botanic Garden Conservatory.
Sable Breton cookie. $8
Le Diplomate, Washington DC
Crème brulees don’t usually excite me unless their an unexpected flavor so I wasn’t crazy about this dessert. It tasted fine and the vanilla flavor was there, but I wasn’t wowed. I did like the Breton cookies though.
Pamplemousse Presse: Combier pamplemousse sparkling wine, lemon. $10
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Confit, sunnyside up egg, roasted potatoes. $15
Le Diplomate, Washington DC
Mmm, I love Le Diplomate. The service is wonderful and the food is very tasty. This duck dish was certainly heavy but it tasted great and the hollandaise sauce was surprisingly bright. Noms!
Pimm’s Cup: Pimm’s no. 1, cucumber, L’Esprit de June. $10
