our first night in the city
(and our only night alone, as it turned out)
we dined at Corton.

sleek.
all white.

in bas relief,
with butterflies and random touches of gold leaf.

the food was simply inspired.

this wasn't really a meal as much as it was an exploration.

From "the sea" course ...

hazelnuts, tamarind, and gold leaf:

The scallop with freeze dried soy, olive tapenade, crispy popped rice :

This was the peeky toe crab salad.
The green liquid? The hot salad purée.
insanity.

-
Poached quail egg. Yellowtail. D'anjou pear.
Cucumber. Lemongrass gel. Sea salt marshmallow.
easily, tim's favorite:

they sent us two of those, he raved so much.
-
This is foie gras. And beets. And rhubarb jam. And brioche:

-
Baby sucking pochette. (piggie!).
Black truffle. Asparagus. Yuzu vinaigrette.
