La Condesa in the 9th should be an inspiration for every young chef in Paris: the decor matches the chefs bold lines, the settings and presentations reflect his worldly influences and his food keeps moving forward with new ingredients, textures, flavors and herbs that are both surprising and comforting. I screwed up getting photos of everything but on his (supposedly "3-course") Menu Dejeuner today we had:
a corn tortilla with goat cheese
mushroom tempura, bursting with flavorful sauce
unpictured toasted amaranth on top of sweet potato soup
great bread (x 2)
ray/skate with white beans and watercress
magret de canard with multicolored beets and hibiscus
unpictured ganache, chocolate, cinnamon, sesame ice cream, caramel sauce
and cookie-cakes presnted in really cool multicolored and painstakingly painted gourds
Our bill, for 3, with 2 bottles of a fine Morgon and three glasses of Cremant from the Jura (offered) and 3 coffees (included), was 186 E or 124 E a couple.
