Our 1st year Wedding Anniversary lunch was at the Crillon Hotel. It was intially meant to be in the main restaurant area, which my friend
The hotel is exquisite. All marble and opulence, it’s quiet and luxurious inside, so we had to make sure to behave ourselves 😉 There weren’t many people in L’obe so the service was incredibly attentive. We adored the complimentary bread (it’s true, bread really does taste better in France!!) and all the dishes were lovely. The only downside was that it was a GORGEOUS day outside, and the restaurant is all indoors… but fortunately we spent the rest of the day afterwards wandering around in the gardens enjoying the sunshine, so that made up for it 🙂
Entering the Crillon Hotel
The lobby
Very quiet corridors
L’obe Restaurant
The cute DIY-looking menu
Cheese breadsticks and a glass of 2008 Alsace Riesling
Fanastic bread and luscious salted butter (man, we couldn’t get enough of this)
Sauteed foie gras with Melon in Amaretto jelly
Happy as a clam
Whiting with breadcrumbs and mashed potatoes
This was OUTSTANDING! The fish was so flakey and moist, and potatoes so creamy..
Saddle of lamb roasted with aubergine caviar
Extremely creamy dark chocolate petit fours
Bourbon vanilla millefeuille (so sweet of them to remember our anniversary!)
BEST millefeuille we have ever eaten…. BY FAR.
Ooh, what a luxe lunch.
We coudln’t believe it’s what they consider a casual lil brasserie!
*big boobs alert* hahaaha =)
LOL

Food looks delish!!!! But I have one Q…err… did your boobs grow? hahaha Sorry couldn’t resist.
Was a casual but nice romantic lunch 🙂 and lol, not very much sadly
Happy Anniversary Beverly and Chris! I feel good just absorbing the romance.
Thanks very much! How a year flies by.. 🙂
Happy Aniiversary! and also Happy Holidays:) Have fun!!!
xo
Thanks sweetie!
You’ve just made me very hungry!! *drool*
Hopefully you don’t eat as much rich/unhealthy food as we did.. hehe!
The place looks so grand! 😀
It’s crazy that it was their “casual brasserie”, their main restaurant is super luxe, but closed in Aug 🙁
the fish looks SO DELICIOUS! happy anniversary 🙂
I loooved it, and it was healthy too, woohoo!
So sweet of them to remember your anniversary! That millefeuille looks so yummy. 🙂 No alcohol young lady! Not even in your millefeuille 😉
Wei-Wei
Haha a small amount of alcohol is fine, esp if it’s cooked in food. Just not drinking 2 glasses of wine daily or anything. In fact, the French drink a glass a day every day and their babies turn out fine 😉
foie gras? naughty naughty, not supposed to eat liver. then again i can’t resist foie gras myself!
the millefeuille looks delish!
you look a lot like your mom now!
You can eat foie gras if you’re pregnant, but it’s high in Vitamin A so you just cant eat vast quantities of it (though no one ever does since it’s so expensive!)
