Tonight, I met some friends at the Quincampe in the 3rd. It was a usual haunt for them, and it was quite obvious when they knew the servers. Despite the limited service due to a wedding reception being hosted there, the service was rather good. I don't know if that's how service normally is, or if was because, as I already said, my friends knew this place pretty well.
My close friend ordered a "hot goat", which is hot goat cheese with bread made from honey and salad.
Our friend ordered a quiche lorraine, which was also served with a salad.
My close friend's fiancé ordered a "fresh goat", which is the same as the "hot goat", except that there is no bread, more herbs and it isn't warmed up. He also ordered a shrimp and oyster mushroom risotto.
I got the plat du jour: a carpaccio of marinated beef, lemongrass and potato cakes with parmesan. I prefer my meat cooked usually, but I remembered a time when I had ordered a carpaccio at Ciao Baci (previously reviewed) and it was gooood. So I took a risk and I really could have eaten two plates of this stuff, although, the salad didn't really add anything to the flavour.
When we ordered the main dishes, I knew that I'd have to save space for dessert. In fact, I already had one in mind. My close friend is a chocoholic, so she took a chocolate cake with Bergamot orange crème anglaise.
Both her fiancé and our friend ordered a "café gourmand", which is mini-desserts with coffee. This time, it was coffee with a panna cotta with strawberries, a cake and a forest fruit tiramisu with powdered sugar lightly spread over the cake.
And the dessert I was waiting for: apple tart. It didn't disappoint me and was gone in seconds.
The Quincampe was yet another successful dinner and I could see why my friends go there often.
