A rack of lamb amidst other things at Atout

Atout, Dempsey

It's been a while since we were last here. It seems that their boudin noir is off the menu. Which I think is a pity because the rendition here was pretty tasty.

Atout, lobster bisque

Things haven't changed much. Their lobster bisque is still comfortingly delicious but it now comes with very mild tasting scallop dumplings instead of the chicken ones which we preferred.

Atout, cod liver pate

Cod liver pâté because these were simply delicious over the airy toasted bread.

Atout, cheese bacon quiche

Pretty impressed by their cheese and bacon quiche. These tasted freshly baked. Bacon was not smoky and pretty tender. 

Atout, rack of lamb

After all the foreplay, this was what we really came for - their rack of lamb. Served with persillade. Which I thought was not necessary not because it wasn't good but because I liked the intrinsic flavour from the lamb unadulterated by much but salt and pepper. The persillade tasted fresh and garlicky and would have rocked with bread. If it wasn't visually obviously, those ribs from the lamb were tender, moist and faultlessly pink.

Atout, black forest gateau

Not that this was bad but we'll try another dessert the next time.

Atout, Dempsey
