Kate, I thought the ice was bad enough, but put it all in a plastic cup and it's starting to sound a lot like the Boone's Farm wine that we used to sneak during my Kansas teenage years. JG, they do in fact allow ordering à la carte. A few are cheaper, but many dishes (examples <a href="http://on.fb.me/wW01xA" rel="nofollow">here</a>) are priced between €30-40, so I managed to convince myself that €80 was a steal ;) Kerrin, it’s my pleasure.

I was just wondering if you can order off the menu and just have two or three courses without committing to the Herculean seven or eight course journey? Fun article!

As for the Champagne, they do seem to be trying to make that happen. I won't quickly forget being served Moet Ice I think they call it at a very fancy trade dinner with big blocks of ice in white plastic wine glasses... I am so pleased you finally got there!

What more can I say about that extraordinary (and strangely light) concoction? It came with a miniature Saint-Honoré and a fraîcheur of tropical fruits. I suppose that makes 8 tastes in all (3 of them dessert). And then there was Armagnac, courtesy of the friendly Maltese couple next to us... Kerrin, I can always depend on you to ask about sweets :)

Granted, eating most of that would be no different to me than any given challenge on Fear Factor, but it looks delicious for any non-vegetarian with an adventurous & discriminating palate. Well-played, Meg. Lovely photos and writing.
