What a treat to run across La Regent on a Saturday night. I was trying to decide between Carbonaro…read morepasta and the beef with foie gras when my waiter Matthew described the me foie gras as a cloud;, pan fried,,and it made the difference I ordered it. It was a little skeptical, but it was fantastic and something I recommend to anyone who's ever had foie gras or just thought about it . A wonderful dish and the best meal I've had on my trip so far,
Tonight I had their very original take on a classic: carbonara pasta, with fried pancetta, egg, Parmesan, and spaghetti. It had the mouth watering flavor you would expect, but the textures were new, and the whole thing was incredible. We also had a pizza and salad with foie gras. Both nights had great - and very affordable - offerings of wine. One was from Saint Emilion and the other ore more local from Bergerac, and they knocked it out of the park.
Of course, service is the thing that really brings everything together, and we had the best. Matthew was our waiter both nights, and was very funny and informed - he knew just the right wines to go with our meals, and helped us figure out everything else. Huge thanks to him, our meals simply wouldn't have come together, and the night wouldn't have been as much fun if not for him.
I can't wait to come back and visit this very inventive, tasty and affordable restaurant in the future!
