French Gourmet and Scoop

On C's initiative we went and tried that small french restaurant on Turquoise in Pacific Beach. We've driven past it so many times. At first I thought it was just a bakery. And there is a bakery with all these nice frenchy pastries, fruit tarts, éclairs, mille-feuilles, but also quiches, croissants and pains-au-chocolat. But there is also a small cozy restaurant which carries this wonderfully traditional french menu. So we went to try it out and it was totally up to expectations. We had a platter of delicious patés and cornichons for starters, then chose each our dish of lamb.

After dinner we went and saw Woodie Allen's new movie, Scoop. It was laughable at times, especially Allen's monologues, but the plot wasn't all that exciting, and it hardly measured up to his previous movie, Match Point, which in my opinion was just brilliant.
