Looking back on that moment when the staff offered us deer pate, I now kind of regret not taking him up on it. The chicken version was excellent. While it appears deceptively grainy, the spread was smooth, rich and creamy.

Despite the affordable prices, this French joint doesn’t skimp on feeding you bread and butter, so you can be sure to mop all that deliciously piquant pate up. It also comes with a kickass onion jam that helps the dish along.
