prix fixe lunch – Wander Europe / Traveling like snobs, but for less money Thu, 25 Jun 2015 18:11:33 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4 Chameleon /index.php/2015/06/25/chameleon/ Thu, 25 Jun 2015 18:09:57 +0000 /?p=126 Continue Reading →]]> 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.

Tiara had the Hake with mussels and the lime cream with grapefruit for desert.

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.
