Food Pictures

We will be leaving Paris for the rest of the summer this Saturday when we embark on our 19-day road trip through Europe! Before saying goodbye to our favorite city, we had to go out and enjoy our last few summer nights with, obviously, some great food. I've collected some of our favorite food photos as a tribute to our summer in Paris!

*Sidenote: We didn't necessarily eat all of these things ourselves! Some of these are orders our friends made...but not many....*

Picnic food at the Jardin du Luxembourg. Chairs make perfect tables.
Caroline's homemade vegetable lasagna
Octopus salad at Le Verre Volé
Pork- can you tell?
A delicious red tuna our friend Alex ordered at Le Verre Volé
Homemade duck confit can't be beat!
Brunch set up on Fung and Fleur's patio...yes, a patio in Paris!
Caroline's spinach quiche
Strawberry Tarte (or Tarte aux Fraises) and a Paris Brest (creme filled pastry)
L'Os à Moelle (Bone Marrow) at L'Entrepot
"Salad" Perigourdine (or from the Perigourd region of France)
 This "salad", from L'Entrepot, contained so little letture and so much fois gras and "geziers" or gizzards, that we hardly thought it deserved its title as a salad. Though unhealthy, still it was pretty delicious.

Peter's homemade Pa Jun (Korean scallion pancakes with squid...mmmmm)

Eclairs
Steak with a green sauce that just doesn't look nearly as good as it tasted.
A pretty gooey looking picture of some amazing profiteroles at Le Relais de L'Entrecote




A simple crepe from Crepe Suzette near our apartment.
La Durée Macarons, a birthday gift from our friends Louisa and Caspar.

We'll miss Paris dearly, but are looking forward to the culinary adventures to come as we travel through the Black Forest in Germany, hike the mountains of Switzerland, gaze into the waters of Lake Orta in Italy and relax on the shores of the Mediterranean in the South of France! 

We'll be blogging along the way, so check back for updates on our trip!
