Cafe Loup

After walking around in freezing nyc weather, it's nice to enter Cafe Loup. There's of course heat, and this cozy atmosphere. I've passed by this place a couple of times but I was not expected to see such interesting and cute decor from this French bistro.

And we went ahead with a pâté as appetizer. Pâté is grounded liver, which is much better than it sounds. It was accompanied with mustard and olives and you spread it on a piece of bread. Creamy and the mustard was very strong. I could've had this for my whole meal.

But moving on to poached eggs over smoked salmon on an English muffin. I thought I got the wrong dish because I expected much more salmon; do you see it???...anyways, poached eggs are the bomb. (I love it on my ramen.)

Also very creamy and filling. There were mashed potatoes and sweet potato puree on the side which was great because it helped me take a break from consuming so much cheese and eggs at once. The spinach (?) was dry though. 

My French lunch was full of fatty goodness. Now to munch on a carrot...

This place was one of the restaurant that I had in my deck of diner cards. So I got to use a $10 discount! :)
