The New Year’s Eve French dinner


Yesterday we had a New Year’s Eve dinner consisted of 10 small meals at very nice gourmet restaurant: ”De L’ALTIPORT.” The dinner started at 8pm and continued after 12, and the atmosphere was very French and merry. The restaurant was quite small, and I counted only six families and yet a couple of tables were available. After we had enjoyed the midnight wirework at the restaurant’s terrace, we went back to the warm and cozy restaurant. In a matter of seconds we were surrounded by the other guests who were wishing us happy New Year accompanying it with the abundance of kisses. It was awkward from the beginning, I did not recall when the last time I had exchanged so many kisses with completely strangers, but after a while we all felt like a big family. Everyone was happy and merry. I was not happy about Alex tooking an espresso, and I was really distress when the waitress tried numerous times to serve spirit to my teenager. After the second try I was very clear that it was not OK, and I did not accept the French frivolous way to serve vine to kids. Other than that the party was excellent. Regardless my not drinking even champagne -my “Yoga Promise”, yearly detoxing of body - I had a blast.


Do not ask me about the ingredients of the all courses. I can only tell you that it was super delicious and very French cuisine.
