On this particularly cold day in Paris, the cosy atmosphere of Le Fumoir was even more appreciated. Exhausted after my journey along the treacherous footpaths covered in black ice, I was in the mood to be spoiled with great service and delicious food.The truffle risotto was the best that I've eaten - creamy, flavoursome and a generous serving of truffle shavings. Dr H's scallops were perfectly cooked and served on caremalised turnip slices. The finishing touch was a mousse-like celeriac cream. Great flavours.
The desserts were equally impressive. The chocolate pot was served with orange madelines and the grilled pineapple was served with a syrup and creamed rice/pudding. This was all topped off with excellent coffee. A lovely way to catch up with our friend Vincenzo and escape the freeze!
