L'entrecôte Café de Parise

Last weekend we went with some friends to commemorate the defense of Geneva in 1602 against the hideous Savoy by a bowl of vegetable soup, which provided enduring freedom, wealth and protestantism. The event is called L'Escalade.



However, one can not only live of vegetabel soup, chocolate cauldrons and marzipan, so we went to a restaurant, which is located next to McDonald's and Burger King and which is pround to have an even simpler menu. The place is called Café de Paris and features only one item on the menu, which has been invented in 1930: Salad, French Fries and Entrecôte Café de Paris. All you can choose is wheather you prefer your sirloin steak à point, saignant or bien cuit, and your choice of drink.



We accompanied the menu with a bottle of Gamaray, a wine variety from Geneva with a dark and intense colour, and a rather animal note. It matched perfectly.

Looks fabulous. I came across your blog when I was putting together a "final meal" for a disgraced Canadian media tycoon who will soon be going to jail in the USA. What an interesting story about the numbered ducks at the Tour d'Argent in Paris. I decided I must include this in Mr. Conrad Black's meal. One pressed duck au sang delivered from Paris to Palm Beach, Florida!

Well that looks so tempting to me! And a lot of fun! And speaking of dinner, you just made me crave some wine!
