Start with an appetizer of scallops bathed in a mustard sauce. The tangy dish will leave you wishing it was offered as a main. Or opt for the Kapriz salad cocktail of roast beef, mild white cheese, boiled eggs, pickled cucumber, garlic and an earthy herb vinaigrette. Move on to a salmon and saury combination: slices of juicy fish baked with herbs and green and black olives and topped with a pastry cup of red caviar...
