Lazare Escarguel Restaurant In Perpignan, France

Suprême de volaille de 100 jours, maiz, ail noir et jus corsé

I hopped over the French border today and was delighted to get a lunch booking at this Michelin-listed place (5 Rue Lazare Escarguel, 33-4-6821-6042). They did reasonably-priced lunch sets starting at just €32 (US$37), with today's meal inclusive of some lovely anchovy ravioli with capers and watercress, as well as that 100-day old chicken breast above, which was incredibly moist and delicious, unlike what one might otherwise think. It was accented with white pepper, and they served it with some liver-stuffed veggies as well as corn cakes in a black garlic reduction. I happily gobbled it all up along with their egg starter. Nice place.
