The Origin of Tartar

Tartar, traditionally made with finely chopped raw meat or fish, has a rich history in European cuisine. The dish is believed to have originated from the Tartars of Central Asia, who were known to place meat under their saddles as they rode, tenderizing it. Over time, tartar has evolved into a sophisticated dish, enjoyed in many variations across the world. At Ici et Là, the choice of beef or salmon tartar showcases this versatility, offering a modern twist on a classic dish.

A Contrast of Flavors

The Beef Tartar is characterized by its deep, savory flavor and tender texture, enhanced by a blend of herbs and seasonings. In contrast, the Salmon Tartar offers a lighter, more delicate taste, with a slightly sweet and citrusy undertone. The accompanying French fries provide a satisfying crunch and a golden, salty complement to the tartar, while the fresh salad adds a refreshing, crisp element that balances the dish.
