I wanted to do a casual, alcohol-free dinner tonight, and decided to give
Pastis a try. I've heard that the simple fare is popular with many diners, especially froggies looking for a taste of home. This seemed to be just what I was looking for.
I started with
rillettes de canard, which came in a glass jar along with a few slices of bread. Not bad at all... lots of ducky flavor with - what else? - duck fat! One of my favorite things to order. Very satisfying.
I also shared some of the
pissaladière, which is something new to me. It's basically a white pizza without cheese, with a layer of caramelized onions, anchovies and black olives. Amy called it
"onion soup on toast", which is a pretty accurate description.
I wasn't in the mood for a big meal, and for some reason none of the main course selections from the small menu appealed tonight, so I picked up the
assortiment de cochonnailles. I love
charcuterie, and love picking up the different pieces of yummy pork with my fingers and munching. Very happy.
I was pretty full by now, as I've taken in a lot of bread thanks to the
rillettes and the
pissaladière. I shelved plans to duck in to
Tapeo for a quick
churros fix. I'll do that another day...
