tour de sens, Chambery

My mom and I went to the Tour de Sens (on the way to les Sept Laux), where we had a fantastic meal:

Some kind of carrot foamy thing on a layer of caviar. Like a fruit on the bottom yogurt, but with caviar, and no yogurt.... I couldnt really understand what was being said.

Trompette de mort mushroom (love that name) mousse with butternut squash soup

puff pastry with chorizo and shrimp

some kind of delicious fish (mullet?), cooked perfectly

MEAT and the best french fries ever. I have no idea how they cooked them, but they were perfect. I suspect duck fat was used. The pasta were perfectly cooked too, of course.


Tiramisu on a pear crumble


yogurt lemon emulsion with candied citrus at the bottom.


We could barely move after the lunch

but pressed on to visit Chambery. I had never been to the old town, and it is wonderful!



Then back home via the Chartreuse (D1006) and St. Laurent du Pont. All of this was on Franck's recommendation. Thanks, Franck!
