Dinner at Le Central. Traditional slow French meal (almost 2 hours). Pictured are… Appetizer: smoked salmon petit tartine (7 out of 10). Wine: Stephane Magnien Pinot (I rate it 8 of 10, paired great with our food). Pan-roasted atlantic salmon, pommes purée, braised fennel, citrus beurre blanc. Easy 8 out of 10. Duck confit with risotto and broccolini. 10 out of 10! Creme Brulee and chocolate mousse were good enough for 7 out of 10. Didn't knock our socks off like some other desserts in town, but sometimes you just don't want to waddle to another busy restaurant just for a sweet finisher. My dining companion is a former food magazine editor who has spent years eating throughout France. In her opinion tonight‘s dinner was equal to anything she’s had in all of Europe. This place will go into my regular rotation for every San Francisco trip.
