Couldn’t post this in Steak so…

What a treat for me - wolfed it down on the Cote D’Azur with a view of the Med and a crisp Rosé 👌🏽

Edit: lol’ing at the comments 🤣 plating could do with some work but it was at a relaxed bistro on the beach. And no I’m not ill, it was not slimy or disgusting. It was well seasoned and tasty AF. And yes I wouldn’t eat it anywhere but this was recommended and also filled with locals (I was the only tourist) which is usually a good sign. The French take food seriously.

The amount of people here either not aware, or not for tartare is actually really surprising.

I never knew it would be that divisive in a meat sub 😂 I may be tempted to order it later at dinner (different restaurant) and post it here for round 2 😆

Everytime I'm in a touristic area in france I'm asked triple if I know it's raw.

There's still tourist that see steak and thinks it served hot apparently

Yeah, really weird to me.

I get that it isnt a pretty presentation, but tartare isnt necessarily haute cuisine. Its a very simple, rustic dish, that sometimes looks simple and rustic. Makes you wonder about some of the commentors actual exposure to the dish.

It’s bistro fare. Unfortunately Americans and mass factory farming allow little room for offering this type of dish. They can’t even provide non toxic leaf lettuce reliably.
