Lunch at Le Grand Couvert. Perfectly cooked salmon and seabass, an assortment of puds to die for: chocolate profiterole with real melted chocolate, not some thing out of a tube, pain perdu made with brioche (Wikipedia says French toast is a traditional Christmas dish, that's a first for me, my gran did it all year round...) and tarte tatin revisited.Déjeuner au Grand Couvert : saumon et bar parfaits, puis un petit assortiment avec une "brioche perdue", une profiterole et une tarte tatin revisitée. Délicieux.
I'm glad I had a lovely brunch today (including French toast) or this would be making me very hungry! Delectable photos!

I read this very carefully and gained five pounds. Thanks a lot! ;-)
ReplyDeleteC'est appetissant ! C'est encore un peu tot ici pour le dejeuner mais ta photo mets l'eau a la bouche.
ReplyDeleteBonne semaine !!
My mother did "French toast" all year round also, as I have for 47 years. Never knew it was a traditional Christmas dish...hmmmmmm! The lunch looks absolutely wonderful! Salmon is one of my favorite foods.
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering like mad. The photos are delicious and your descriptions equally so.
ReplyDeleteYou mean eggy bread? I heard someone use this expression during the endless hours of television coverage from the royal wedding.
ReplyDeleteThis looks scrumptious in so many ways.
Everyone knows the good chocolate doesn't come from a tube, it comes from a small town about 90 minutes west of me, Hershey ;-) ;-)
Ciel, this looks scrumptious!!! That is a word you can use year-round.
ReplyDeleteOh, puds, I get it, as is puddings. Americans would think of it as in spuds, i.e., potatoes. I've never had French toast in France but I've had some lovely Sunday lunches.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fish, salmon and sea bass. And then French toast, oh my I feel full...
ReplyDeleteI'll take the chocolate!
ReplyDeleteOh I think this just may be cruel :) that looks devine!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have to be having dessert first! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteUn peu dommage de boire de l'eau...
ReplyDeleteUmm mouthwatering!!!!!! Your french toast is our eggy bread.
ReplyDeletele repas est plus vite avalé avec un grand couvert ? je sais mais je peux pas m'en empêcher
ReplyDeleteje prends le plat de poissons je te laisse le dessert
En général je prends toujours du poisson au restaurant quoique avec le bar ou la daurade ou le sandre d'élevege, bof... Rien ne vaut finalement le barbecue familial avec le maquereau ou la sardine non vidés achetés à la descente du bateau.
ReplyDeleteI like almost everything in France, but my ideal breakfast is a German one!
ReplyDeleteFrench desserts - yum! I'd be happy to have a 3 course meal just made up of desserts!
ReplyDeleteMalin..j'ai faim, maintenant!!(OMG, des profiteroles, me damnerais pour..)
ReplyDeleteI'll have it! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yum!!! I really should not be seeing this at night...it looks delicious :D
ReplyDeleteOne gigantic YUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love French toast--butter and powdered sugar---another YUM.
I have Copper River Salmon last night--oops another YUM. MB
What a breakfast fit for a king. Yummmy :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was French from Prince Edward Island, Canada. We always had Pork Pie on Christmas morning. Ha!
ReplyDeleteCela donne bien sur envie, surtout avec la musique d'accompagnement cela fait grandiose.
ReplyDeleteOh yum. French toast is my Shabbat morning treat.
ReplyDeleteHmmm looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteLéia
Now I'm hungry... hmmm....
