Café des Abattoirs, meat counter

 

For lunch, they offer a formula of an appetizer on a slate plate, a meat of the day with the garnish of your choice, and a gourmet coffee for €22. You can also opt for one of the 3 formulas (€ 32-38 or € 45) offering a first course, a meat and a dessert.

Here, the courses served for the whole table are shared, including some meats (magnificent beef ribs and veal ribs).

Starter of the day to share

The menu offers a very nice selection of meats: An Oyster Steak marinated in an acidulous soy sauce; the famous Black Angus beef of Scotland, skirt or enhanced, in ribs grilled in the oven; a Côtes d'Armor steak; a Black Iberian Pig secreto; or gorgeous lamb shoulder skewers with curry, lemon confit, coriander garlic and shallot.

But, the most important, this is cooked in a Jasper wood oven (the top professional oven). It is impossible to have at home such a melting texture lined with a braised flavor.

The skirt steak is served in a cast iron pan with very good homemade fries, cut with a knife, made crispy on the surface and soft to the core, with two frying baths. You can also choose a puree or salad and match-stick potatoes or seasoned vegetables roasted in the oven.

The meat can be decorated with one of the five homemade sauces.

An excellent, very well served creme brulee, with well-accentuated vanilla taste and a perfect texture, ideally concludes this ball of very well prepared dishes.

There is a good selection of wines by the glass ranging from € 4.50 to € 8. You need to count on average € 50, with wine and coffee included, for a meal in terms of value for money.
