SATURDAY-Luca's

Luca's isn't too far from the Jardin du Luxembourg and was fast and very friendly. We kept it light tonight just going straight to main entrees and having a shared dessert.

Jeri had a perfectly prepared salmon steak with bearnaise and rice. I'm not a salmon person, but she really enjoyed it.



Mine was a steak with fries and a nice little side salad like Jeri had. Fries and salad were great, the steak... word of advice, our medium rare is not theirs. This baby was cold in the middle. It was a lovely cut though. Very marbled and smelled just a little funky so it'd been dry aged some.







The bearnaise sauce (think of mayonnaise with tarragon, chives, chervil, and vinegar) with mine was a great match to the steak and the fries too!
We had a nice little cheese course of camembert (imagine brie blended with butter) that was fantstic. The bread rocked of course.





Dessert was vanilla ice cream that was a little more custardy than I like, but a nice way to round things out.
We're headed back to the hotel and turning in early. Unless we stop for some beverages on the way. Which we might :)

Night all!
