METIS / Cold starters
Beef tartare
200 g In the style of Parisian brasseries, with Parmesan mousse.
A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
The METIS menu describes this tartare in the style of Parisian brasseries. Parmesan mousse accompanies the beef, adding a cheese accent and a soft texture. If this is your first tartare, ask the waiter about its preparation and serving style so you can decide whether the meat texture suits you.
Flavour and serving
The amount of mousse changes how prominent the cheese becomes. Begin with a little, comparing it with the beef before combining the entire serving.
Cheese plays a prominent role in this version, so consider the Parmesan accompaniment when choosing. The same cheese appears with pasta elsewhere in the menu, but here it can be compared directly with the meat. Try a few proportions of mousse, from a small accent to a bite where cheese and beef are equally noticeable.
What to try alongside
Choose the tartare before a meat main or as part of a selection of starters. Tomatoes with qurt make an interesting vegetable accompaniment.
