Florek treated us to a lunch in Cote this afternoon. There was a regular menu and a festive menu, from which I only wanted the confit duck in orange sauce, they were kind enough to let me have it without having to order the starter and a dessert from that menu. I ended up with not only the best plate of food I’ve ever had in Cote, but possibly the best duck dish I’ve ever had. It was perfect. The duck leg was perfect in size, not too big, perfectly soft to the bone, with crackling crispy skin. It sat on thinly sliced potatoes, there was a side of wilted spinach- also perfectly seasoned. The orange pieces had just the right amount on Grand Marnier on them. And a touch of thyme too, throughout the dish. I had a glass of merlot with it and then shared a creme brulee with Florek. It was superb. I wish they had something that good not just around Christmas. Left them a flattering review.
