Yet another difference from our dining experiences over here is that the tasting menus there are quite a bit cheaper than ordering a la carte (where plates are 90-120+ Euros a piece, yikes!). In NY, tasting menus are usually the splurge. I did, however, accidentally order a 45 Euro glass of champagne. The worst part is I don't think I even finished it. Oops.
Our main dishes included langoustine cooked two ways, turbot with truffles and potatoes, and a giant hunk of sweetbread. Probably more sweetbread at once than I've eaten in my life. And then way more sweets than we could stomach. See the spread below (all Fuji x100).

So many saucers for my tea cup! We had a wonderful time, although lunch at L'Arpège the next day was more than a bit aggressive. For J at least. I was starving by 5AM the next morning.
this is making me feel so weird about the gas station donut i just ate.
