2 days after the lunch I last wrote about here, I returned to try other things on the same menu. For Starters, we had: White mushroom veloute with aromatic parsley & parisien bruschetta Duck leg confit & foie gras terrine with remoulade vegetables in hazelnut dressing These were both alright but didn't surprise my palette. The foie gras terrine was on the heavy side (lots of foie gras, not much meat) and filled me up a little too much, but the duck leg confit inside was aromatic and went really
For Starters, we had:

These were both alright but didn't surprise my palette. The foie gras terrine was on the heavy side (lots of foie gras, not much meat) and filled me up a little too much, but the duck leg confit inside was aromatic and went really well with some of the provided bread.
Mains:
Mediterranean tart with fondant vegetables, cevennes onions & balsamic emulsion
Japanese scallops with fondant leeks & marine snails in seaweed butter sauce
The mediterranean tart was not impressive at all and tasted a bit like airplane food. What I was more satisfied about was the service here - while I was trying to take a photo of this dish the waiter slid a folded handkerchief underneath the plate to help me get a better shot. I already had the same japanese scallops 2 days before this meal (ref. my previous Caprice review) but ordered again because it was my favourite out of the 3 I tried on the previous visit.
For dessert we had:
Rum baba with oriental pineapple & passion fruit sorbet
Warm french toast with quetsches plum, roasted almond & vanilla ice cream
For 2-michelin-star standards I think the desserts were mediocre... I saw thought put into the presentation of the desserts but that's probably all that could be said about these two.
I'm only giving this place an "OK" again but I will still come just for the comfortable setting & nice view (and particular dishes i.e. scallops).
