Le Crocodile…wonderful as usual.

We took Richard and Grace out to Le Crocodile last night to thank them for all the work they did clearing out Ian's apartment.  It was a fabulous dinner and a great evening.  They all had the Chef's Tasting Menu and Richard added the foie gras which we all got a bite of.   I felt it was just too much food for me so started with the lobster tempura and scallop appetizer and then the sable fish.  I thought I might have room for dessert as I was very tempted (as always) by the lemon tarte and sorbet but decided to nibble some of Jim's dessert.  I could barely manage that!

 A few glimpses of the food…too busy savouring to take photos of everything!

 I love these shoestrings….always a "gift"  from the chef.

And always the same ending….we barely had room for these last night.
