Un Déjeuner à Sarlat
After wandering around the market for a while, we decided it was time for lunch. We picked the picturesque over researching some place with known good food. And we ended up at Les Îles at the Place de la Liberté. It's the café pictured below on the left. Doesn't it meet and exceed the picturesque test?!
We sat and had a nice lunch from le menu du jour, and watched the market being torn down all around us. I had a foie gras salad, duck confit with potatoes sarladaises (potatoes fried in duck fat) and for dessert, two scoops of ice cream, pictured below. The first ice-cream of the day! Pictured next to it is the apple tart that was just ok.

Paige and I noticed that you have posted a lot about fois gras but not as much about duck in other forms. Were the potatoes cooked in duck fat as good as they seemed they might be? Was it good enough that it'd be worth trying at home?
We just haven't had as many restaurant meals overall - we typically just grab a sandwich or croque monsieur for lunch. So I guess I just haven't had that much duck...
