Superb lunch in the 11th…Paris–

Let’s do some lunch…this joint is full of good stuff…mmhhmm!

Pate en croute…possibly my favorite one I have ever eaten–wonderful!

Tuna tartare topped with delightful veggies…fabulous!

Wild boar with truffles and a lovely jus…delectable!

Tourte de pigeon…amazingly good!

Cauliflower and inner bits of the boar…totally delicious!

Icy fruit and sweet crunchies…perfect ending.

WOW! We are having lunch at a joint called Vantre out here in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, and it is stupendous!

Folks have told us to eat here…we are giving it a try, and it lives up to all of the hype we are hearing.

For this meal we start with a pate en croute–maybe the most interesting I have ever eaten…and a tuna tartare topped with delectable greens and veggies and loveliness–this thing is wonderful.

Then we do a wild boar with shaved truffles and a tasty jus–magical…

…and a tourte de pigeon (pigeon pie) that is totally delectable.

The boar comes with a confit of inner bits and cauliflower…wildly gobbleworthy!

Everything is washed down with a soothing Macon blanc…mmm, aaah!

Dessert is a fruity icy crunchy concoction that makes us go, “JAAAAA!!”

We love this place. . .the chef is a Japanese guy who cooks like a mad genius. . .

. . .we want to eat here again and again and again.

Check it out some time, you will love it, too–I gar-ron-taaaaayy!

On to our next meal…

…it’s lovely out there.
