Eating out

I used to love eating out, one of my favourite things to do but lately I find that I usually always order the same thing mostly because there isn't anything else I'd want on the menu... And that one thing is Spaghetti Carbonara... and often it isn't even well done :( So I've become more and more disappointed with restaurants and cafés. I'd love to try some meat dishes but most of the time they are far more expensive than my pasta and money is an issue for me (I could pay for it but what's the point if pasta's cheaper?). And for a long long time I've been craving a nice schnitzel or a chicken kiev and in this part of europe it just isn't very popular :( + I still don't have a proper oven to coo with, not that I'd now how to make something good in it anyway... (meaning other than pasta :D).

To celebrate our one year anniversary we picked a nice brasserie to eat at and it was AMAZING!!!! They offered a 3 course meal (+ a bottle of wine and aperitif with olives) for 32 euros so we took that, what the hell a special occasion :) Fell in love with Kir peche - whenever I see that I'll now order it. As a starter we both took the foie gras with grilled toast (I actually wanted to order some zucchini thingy but accidentally said 2 foie gras' please - fate maybe). That was followed by duck breast in honey sauce with potatoes (thank god there wasn't a single pasta dish!!!! :)) to die for! (Mr. Special ordered a hamburger which was also delicious). Finally ended the gastronomic experience with a chocolate cake with mint ice cream.

What a gastronomic experience :) (The second time we went there for Mr. Special's birthday I took a salmon tartar with apple as a starter, everything else was the same, and didn't have to be disappointed in that either :)).

Now I'm always worried about leaving a tip. Do I have to? Am I considered rude if I don't? etc etc I now it would be nice but but but I'm a poor student and the servers do get paied so... I always pay by card anyway, so I don't have cash on me but I always feel bad when I just walk out without leaving any tip...

I just had to share this amazingness :P

Ttyl ;)
