P. 61
A favorite course at La Petite Colombe roused us
from our chairs mid-evening to join other guests
outside the open kitchen to watch one of these
complex dishes come together. We sipped wine and
chatted with a chef as he plated a delicious ramen, a
tiny nest of noodles and seafood in an earthy broth
scented with celeriac, infused oils and Pernod. We
followed the irresistible aromas back to our table,
where a perfectly paired viognier waited. Delicious
in every way.
The meal starts to draw to a close with a tasting
of excellent South African cheeses. At La Colombe,
choices are presented as wax-wrapped morsels in a
wooden chest like jewels. The sommelier stands by
to match your pick with port or other perfect pair-
ing for a relaxing pause before dessert.
