Mémère au piano Un petit review of the evening... hosted by a well-fed and well-drunk me... The dessert menu The start of something beautiful The menu - very traditional yet seasonal produce Entreé Frogs legs (and their ultimate demise) Traditional garlic, butter, parsley and more garlic snails Diners wondering why the puppy-dogs tails are off the menu... Freshly made foie gras de canard Main course Scallops with a delicious, tangled mess of herbed leeks Suckling pig with a honey and red wine reduction Veal kidneys in a port flambé sauce The namesake piano Our generous hosts The sweet stuff Dark chocolate "moelleux" with salted butter caramel sauce - to die for Irish coffee spiked with amaretto and Cointreau A tasting plate of five different desserts - all of them wonderful The aftermath Mémère au Piano 63, rue Jean Pierre Timbaud 75011 Paris Metro: Parmentier Hours: open for lunch and for dinner from 7:30pm closed Sunday lunch and all day Monday Ph: +33 (0)1 43 14 47 28 http://www.memereaupiano.com
