The Obelisque is the restaurant at the Hotel Crillon in Place de la Concorde. We went to dinner on Sunday night.
A friend of ours is one of the "waiters". He is more than a waiter but high up, second i think. Nothing was free but we were guaranteed a table.
A cup of champagne accompanied the appetizer of noix de Saint Jaques cooked with shallots, truffle and chives. Then I had a crab based soup with home made ravioli of buckwheat flower and after that some fish filet served with purée of carrots and ginger. Then dessert was a caramelized pear with cream.

i have no idea what it cost because I had one of those menus for women that have no prices on it. Pretty cool.

I wish I coud remember the names of each dish in French and it would have been great to photograph it all but there was no way i was going to pull out my camera and take photos of the food in that setting oer a romantic candle light dinner for two.
