We decided to have dinner at l'Europe based on good reviews and the tempting menu. We were immediately seated and attended to by an incredibly nice young waiter who spoke very good English and answered all our questions about the food and wine.
We started our meal by sharing the foie gras starter which was excellent. The foie gras was served on spice cake slices, and accompanied by a cheese and pistachio mousse and various preserved fruits and vegetables. We had chosen a white wine recomended by our waiter to go with the entire meal, and this worked very well.
For mains, I had the bucatini with langoustines, which was just as it should be and very tasty. My mum had initially ordered the local rascasse fish, but when it arrived, it had an unpleasant overly "fishy" taste. The waiter explained that, since it was a fish that lived in deeper waters, this was normal, but nevertheless was exceptionally gracious and offered us to switch for another fish dish free of charge. The new dish with cod on black rice with grilled vegetables arrived only 8 minutes later, and was simply divine!
