Ice cubes from quality cocktail bars are hand-cut daily or on order to match the high quality spirits used in cocktails.

Let’s avoid classic bars where they mix cheap alcohol for soul-less cocktails…

Simon explained how to recognise quality knives. It has to be made with a single piece of steel and solid strains of pressing.

It makes sense but do you have an excellent quality knife sharpening stone for your knives ?

The thinner the grains the better it seems to be.

Boule de glace taillée au pic à glace.

It is so cool. I wanted to learn the ice ball carving technique for such a long time.

Not sure I can re-do it for my Chichibu glass of whisky that soon, though.

These very translucide ice also have the particularity of melting more slowly than household ice which is interesting for cocktails.

I am here on Sunday and start by…

Alix Lacloche

Alix Lacloche, half French half American private cook. She created comfort and healthy food with fresh ingredients from the market. www.alixlacloche.com

French fried chicken
6€

Today her French friend chicken served like a burger with marinated vegetables is exquisite.

A crispy, ultra tasty and light (yes, yes, light) fry in a delicious bun.

The marinated vegetables are the perfect match to balance he fry with a touch of sourness.

Fricote Phamily

Fricote Phamily – Bahn Khot
6€

I want something more light so let’s go for this Bahn Khot by Fricote Phamily.

The little side, a shrimp fried ball is good.

The noodles are a bit over-cooked but it is well-balanced in spices. I like the use of the mustard flower (pretty and tasty).

Télescope

What a luxury to have a delicious coffee now. The cappuccinos are excellent as usual with Nicolas Clerc.

Lockwood

As it is a bit early to finish this afternoon with a cocktail by Lockwood, let’s have selection of some sweat delights…

Bircher müesli, Red Velvet, Cookies…
All for 9€

Everything was very good. The red velvet’s texture is moist and the taste not too sweet.

The cookie has a perfect balance of taste, chewiness and crust. The flower of salt on top of it really makes a nice difference. It is my favourite.

The müesli with dried fruits and pomegranate is healthy (maybe I should kept this one for breakfast 😉

Olivier Lehoux, on of the three brothers Lehoux from Lockwood.

Olivier Lehoux is a talented mixologist (Le Silencio, Cocktails Party) who always uses quality and exclusive ingrédients…
