I had been so taken by Les Premices and its wonderful chef last month that when to friend-diners suggested we go back I jumped. We had two amuses: a mint cream with celery and what I swear was monkfish but without a scream from Colette must have been cod.
For firsts M. Anonymous had the asparagus four ways and I had a delicate Thai soup with rolled-up almost Japanesey wrapped bits of lobster.
The women then had the Landes farm chicken and the guys the daily special - crispy outside sweetbread with artichoke hearts and peas that were in between ptit and gross - all just fine, thank you.
We finished up with a cheese platter and two rice puddings with caramel (Colette declared hers "one of the best ever."
Our bill, with 2 coupes of champagne, 2 bottles and 2 glasses of wine, no bottled water but 3 coffees was 252 E, but taking away the champagne, it would have been more like 112 E a couple.
