Florek took us out last night to Brasserie Blanc for my birthday dinner.  We eat there every few weeks, it’a  a place consistently good in terms of food and service, not cheap, but always delivers. Last night was truly excellent.  Steak tartare to start to share, burger for Florek, confit duck leg for me. Super soft meat on that leg, beautifully crispy skin. Cherry sauce. The most delicious dauphinoise I’ve eaten in my life- perfect! Soft, not too creamy, perfectly seasoned. Some roasted veg on the side.  My only regret was that I was too full to finish it or to have a scoop of sorbet at the end.

Excellent service too, which Florek rewarded with a nice tip. And- I now know how to make a bellini as good as the ones they sell in BB- Amazon sells the fruit puree they use.

Truly lovely birthday dinner.
