Chilled Pea Soup- we enjoyed it at Isle de France which is now Cheval Blanc.

Close but not the right place. Thanks.

Looks like a dollop of crab and mint leaves- perfect for a Day in Paradise!:blush-smile:

We have a winner!
Yes, it was Tamarin with Paco and Julie present, and with much longer menus including lunch menu with this English Pea soup.
But, as Stendhal once said (or wrote): "all things come to the end" (I am rephrasing).
However, according to Manu, they are setting up a new project in St Jean.

NP Kevin! Hope you will be able to order a similar soup somewhere nice when you are back on the island.

I am unsure of a Stendhal connection to this but 4 centuries before Stendhal, Chaucer wrote:
He song; she pleyde; he tolde tale of Wade.
But at the laste, as every thing hath ende,
She took hir leve, and nedes wolde wende.
Troilus and Criseyde, Book 3, 614-616

Hooray! What do I win??? :smile-cool:
Very great question! I'd say . . . at least, applause from your colleagues on the Forum for an inspired memory!

Watching young locals enjoying lunch there many years ago is when we learned that frites go with everything..even if it is just a salad or a chunk of cheese.
The parrots were pretty to look at but I do not miss their noise or their dive bombing of my Nikon telephoto lens one year.
The loss of the old Tamarin tree is a heartbreaker. The new landscaping with plants,trees and lily ponds is a delight.
