We headed over to Le Bristol (8th) at around 7PM for drink with FTer JohnRain who divides his time between Geneva and Paris.
Rough life. Very enjoyable finally meeting him, even better when his gorgeous fiancée arrived. ^

They walked us across the lobby to Michelin star Le 114 Faubourg where they introduced us to Chef Eric Desbordes Le 114 Faubourg .
Beautiful restaurant and one of the best meals we have enjoyed in a long time.

Delicious amuse bouche.





An amazing "Duck Pâté in a crust" that was to die for. OMG.
No wonder it earned Chef Eric Desbordes 2011 World Pâté Champion status.



While Madame went opted for a beautiful salad... mesculin and crisp lettuce hearts, aged parmesan shavings with black truffle vinaigrette.



Next was the Roasted scallops, Le Puy green lentils with black truffle. It was delicious.



But not as good as my sole prepared meunière style. One of the most amazingly delicious I have ever tasted.





And plenty of incredible sweets...









As we were preparing to leave, Chef Eric stopped by to bid adieu. This was one incredible meal, probably the best anywhere in the past year, and another definite must for any foodie.
