Colette and I headed over to Chez Georges (Rue de Mail in the 2nd) where I'd had a successful meal a few months ago but hadn't been with her since the mid-1980's. I took a look at the almost unreadable menu and headed back where I had been in July.
The salad frisee with lardons and eggs, was just as good as last time and just a good as those coming from the pre-Ducassian Aux Lyonnais 30 years ago.
Colette then had one of the four specials - a delicious fricasee of rabbit with girolles and five small potatoes. She felt that the portion of potatoes was excessive - another case of too much food. I had a repeat of the sweetbreads in a creamy sauce with morels and a ton of noodles; both dishes were excellent.
Colette then finished with a thick-cut tarte tatin and some creme fraiche which she liberally added thinking it was ice cream - whoops! The tarte was prepared in the classic, deep-dish style and it was fine.
Our bill with a bottle of wine and four coffees (two "offered") was 110.50 E.
