Coq d'Argent, London 03-2019

Bargain 3 course lunch for £22.5 when the London City shuts down on weekends.

French at its finest.

Excellent warm bread to start of. The seeded one was warm, crisp shell and so soft inside.

- Coquille Saint Jacques (Orkney Island scallop, bouquet prawns, mussels, puff pastry vol au vent, American sauce) - American sauce tasted like crab/shellfish sauce;
- Venison tartare (celeriac & green apple remoulade, Avruga caviar, black truffle) - a perfect dish to look at. The diced meat was tender and soft and not too strongly flavoured;
- Loup de mer (seared fillet of sea bass, Devon white crab risotto, crab essence)
- Cote de veau (250g Rose veal cutlet vallee d'auge, creamy wild mushrooms, apples, truffled pomme puree) - looked white as (and tasted as if it could have been) pork with the pink of rare. Very flavoursome;
- 2 desserts including my molten dark chocolate fondant with pistachio icecream.

Excellent brunch.
