I am very excited with how San Francisco chefs have done in recent years. Saison and Benu are two of my fav with totally different style.<br />regards<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347191628309297080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647934878891760960.post-51588819691744581842010-11-21T14:54:41.574-08:002010-11-21T14:54:41.574-08:00Thanks for your review.
This is (along with Ledoy...Thanks for your review. <br />This is (along with Ledoyen) the only Parisian 3* I haven't visited yet. Planning to visit it around Oct (so, I believe that their offerings will be close to yours since you went there in Nov. From what I gathered, I am not surprised when you wrote 'But the kitchen only execute perfectly when guests match with their tempo" and am thanking you for your honest output. L'Ambroisie does not sound like my ideal 3* Michelin dining experience. Still, I will give them a try especially because Pacaud seems to be one of the last few who is cooking in a traditional way at this level (Went already to Bocuse, Lameloise, etc). I'll see. My questions to you:<br />(1)If I am alone, do you know if I can have dishes like the ''Escalopines de bar'' in half portion (if I am not mistaken, you were with other people. Did you notice if those who took this dish were able to sample it in half portion?)<br />(2)The wine: I am a bit torn here. When I enjoy top French classic food, I need wine all along. But if this will triple my bill, why bother? Would you know if I can get away with a nice wine --- for ie a nice Meursault -- in its half bottle version. If Yes, any approx idea of what it would cost?<br />Again, thanks for your help. I did a lot of search on L'Ambroisie and somehow your review is the one that sounded the most realistic.
