When you don't speak the language that the menu is written in it's nothing unusual to just point at a random dish and hope for the best.
Lesson learnt, I now know that I am not a fan of raw minced beef, known locally as tartare de boeuf….
Better luck next time!

I randomly pick off non-english menus all the time and yes there has been some fails! I quite like Steak Tartare though – when it’s done right it can be very good (if you don’t mind raw meat!)

Oh, good grief I wouldn’t like either.
Haha! It definitely pushes the boundaries of your taste buds sometimes and can occasionally surprise you with a new favourite. Did you get far through the dish?!
Absolutely-I have had many great dishes this way, but sometimes u will get one u don’t like I guess… I ate the chips from the dinner and the waiter laughed to see I had left the entire steak tartare! Ha ha
