Plat du jour

Posted On December 31, 2008

The dish of the day at Le Bistro was pave of rumpsteak in a gorgonzola sauce.  It sounded good, but filling.  I decided against the ‘menu’ which offered a choice of starter as well, and went for just the plat du jour.  I ordered it medium, wanting it pretty rare but not raw, and that’s how it came – on the rare side of medium rare, and nice and chewy.  It was gorgeous, as were the gratin potatoes and the sauce, though I couldn’t manage the whole plateful.  A pichet of the house red wine produced a most acceptable and mellow red.
