Travel to West coast of France in Brittany with this healthy and tasty starter. It is also an excellent source of calcium and nutrient essential for bone health.

Foie Gras Terrine Gingerbread, Mango-Timut Pepper Marmalade. Pan-fried Sole Grenobloise Capers, Lemon, Parsley, Croutons. Tender and mild, the sole is steamed and drizzled with butter and served with lemon juice and parsley unlike “à la meunière” cooked with flour.
