My favorite brasserie fare is confit de canard: duck leg/thigh marinated in salt, sugar and some liqueurs, and then slowly roasted in duck fat, then transferred to a deep container and completely submerged in the fat, and then refrigerated to age for a few weeks. When it's time to eat, it's pulled from the fat, warmed and crisped under a broiler, and served with fried or sautéed potatoes and a salad. Hooo boy, it doesn't get much better than this!
Somehow I hadn't had it this trip before today. The quality does vary a bit, but this was very tasty, and just about three blocks from home at Brasserie Les Philosophes!
Les Philosophes - tasty food and a buzzing street scene at 28, rue Vieille du Temple, in the 4th arrondissement.
