Le Relais Paris Opera (2010-12-20)

After some intense department stores browsing, we were too late and too hungry to travel to any of my researched restaurants, so we just went back to the direction of L'entracte and tried the one nextdoor.

We got a table close enough to the street but not quite outside so we didn't have to breathe in the cigarette smoke air.

KL wanted to try frog legs and I wanted foie gras simply for comparison sake after last night's starter at Chartier.

The frog legs were cooked in provencale style which basically means a tomato-based sauce.  They were pretty generous with the servings with six frogs.  I tried one and man, so good!  The frog itself was not very meaty, but it was tender and the sauce delicious.  There's some high heat smokiness in the taste, yummy.

My Salade Gormande was different than what I thought it would look like.  The smoked salmon was very nice but I gave the caviar to KL.  The star of the plate was the foie gras which was much better than the one we had in Chartier.  This one was very creamy in texture and very fragrant.

P.S. Le Relais is nextdoor to L'entracte, also opposite to the Opera Paris.
