The tall guy has been very gracious tonight . . . sat with me at the bar for a drink / coffee when I stopped about 6 to make a reservation. At the last minute, his family canceled the July "bare boat" sail & went to Bonair -- said it was fabulous.
I'm back in the "garden" now . . . temperature under "the roof" must have been 10 degrees higher! And there is a table of 10 people, all of whom are smoking. Breezes in the garden are beautiful!
A mousse of celery, potato, leek, & a touch of curry, with herb-infused cream and a small slice of smoked Mahi Mahi on a toast point. Wine is a 2009 Haut Medoc . . , Jean Clayde's recommendation.
Paco, Julie, & their very well behaved young son (about 4?) are next to me . . . and a good crowd -- about 30 diners. Prix fixe of 55 Euros.
. . . two slices of foie gras & a spoonful of pear chutney. The foie gras is always the best on the island!
Duck spring rolls! (It started raining, so I've been moved under cover!)
pigeon . . . I'm afraid that the light doesn't do it justice, but my mouth is watering!
. . . table next to me of 5 people, each under 30 -- three young women, & two guys. One of the guys talked non-stop. The others never said a word, except to acknowledge hearing what he said. Of course, he walked into the restaurant with a beer bottle in his hand.
I'll always remember his story about finding a dead shark on the beach & putting it into the sleeping bag of a buddy on their camping trip. He also shared with his friends that his favorite meal is a bowl of rice mixed wth small black beans & finely chopped pieces of chicken.
. . . and why were they at L'Espirit? Am I a grumpy old man?

I thought it was just too good not to share!
