On a hot tip from our bartender at CopperBay, we headed to Chameleon for lunch. It felt like a bargain at €17 for app + main or main + desert (€21 if you want all three). I tried the gazpacho and pork fillet mignon.
Gazpacho with peas, smoked hallibut, and shiso
Pork filet mignon with candied carrots, cumin, and terragon
Tiara had the Hake with mussels and the lime cream with grapefruit for desert.
Hake, mussels with curry cream, and cauliflower
Lime cream, pink grapefruit, and hazelnut financier. Kind of like a deconstructed key lime pie.
Everything was pretty delicious; it felt like a $100 meal in SF. The standouts were the gazpacho (the smokey fish made for some great bites) and the hake with its beautiful mussel sauce. I would put this in the “can’t miss” box for lunch in Paris.
