It was a sunny day and perfect for having lunch outside so we decided to try La Terrasse Montaigne which is a charming haven of greenery situated outside of the Hotel Plaza Athenee. Before getting to the food i need to state the fact that there is something seriously wrong with the customers there ! Each and everyone seemed like they had a stick up their toochies ( not to be rude ), they were eating their club sandwich like it was 400 euros caviar, it was really sad. As for the food, all in all it was good, nothing out of this world, just a good ceasar,foie gras with chutney, crab club sandwich, some sushi and their "famous" chicken and black truffles cheese squares that had no taste whatsoever of truffles. Now getting for desserts which was the most exciting part for me because Christophe michalak is the pastry chef there. We had the millefeuille and mignardise which was ok, the "L'oreade", which is the prize-winner dessert from pastry world cup was actually too pretty to be eaten, and i saved the last for the best which was the "religieuse caramel au beurre sale". OMG it was the heavenly, it's light and melts in your mouth with the delicious taste of salted caramel, it was one of the best desserts i have ever had. I can't comment about the prices because at the end of the day whether the food was amazing or not you are paying for the name of the hotel and the chefs there.
