L'Absinthe - 69 word review

L’Absinthe Saint Honoré

Good value less than 40€, three course menu in high rent district. Skanky waiters. Menu of hot and cold fish and meat and a few blackboard additions. Annoying smug, self satisfied and all together strange clientele. Starters of shrimp/courgette rolls and ceviche good although uninspiring. Black Angus with béarnaise delicious with side of grenailles. Pork jarret NOT (overspiced). Go again? Jury’s out. I’d say probably not. 

Rostang - Better than cocaine?

Perhaps the most decadent haute cuisine dish in Paris, Rostang's famous truffle sandwich is the only two-star-Michelin-eat-with -your-hands-food in the capital. Two slices of Poilane, infused in plastic wrap for 48 hours with Noirmoutier butter and a healthy serving of fresh black truffles, then taken out of the fridge and quick fried in a hot skillet for a few minutes and served a table.

The knife and fork are just there pour la forme.
