Final Fine Dining – Taillevent

We've eaten so much incredible French food that we almost decided not to have a final celebratory Parisian dinner with Jason, but then we got a last minute reservation at Taillevent and just had to go. 

Jason, not looking a day over 40, and me sporting my La Vie du Grande Norde scarf as I zoom toward my 45th birthday in September:

And the beautiful French food -

We had a lovely cheese course which wasn't photographed, but was surely enjoyed.  

We were really quite full of food after a month of fine dining, so we kept dessert small. 

One scoop of sorbet for Brad:

 Two scoops of sorbet for Jason:

 And a perfect strawberry tart for me, with flecks of gold foil as accents:

 At some point we'll need to return for the full degustation experience when we haven't already been eating ourselves silly for an entire month.
