Our first serious dinner was at
La Bouteille d'Or, a fine
restaurant with a slight Corsican bent
just
across from Notre Dame. We had no particular plan that night but
the spacious tables and well dressed staff brought us in. And it
worked fairly well.
Ken and I both had wild boar (sanglier) for our main courses. Very nice, if a bit plain in preparation. I confess I can't remember much about our first courses except that Ken's beignets of chestnut flour didn't work as well as we'd hoped. I think I had snails. But I distinctly remember the fantastic selection of Corsican cheeses we had to finish the meal, the perfect accompaniment to the dark red vin de Corse. There are so many good restaurants of this caliber in Paris, I'm not sure this one is worth a special effort to visit again. But it was a good dinner for us. |
