I need steak. I've come back from a half day trip around some wineries and I've been drinking red wine all afternoon. I'm with a couple of people from the tour who have agreed to humour my steak needs. I've gone for a three course menu and a glass of local red. The waitress doesn't speak English and my friends don't speak French, so my rudimentary French is up to the test again.
Entree

Pané de chevre with honey and mesclun salad
Chevre is goat's cheese, usually baked. It's delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with tasty dressed greens. It's simple but very well done.
Mains

Faux filet with homemade fries and Corsican wine sauce
The steak is excellent. It has that lovely grilled flavour and the sauce is perfect. The fries are nicely cooked and crispy, and even the salad is well dressed. My only criticism is the steak is so small - I was hoping for something more substantial.
Dessert

Tarte au citron
The tarte au citron is a bit goopy, not really meringue like at all. The biscuit base is nicely caramelised. It's very sweet but at least the lemon is pleasant. Definitely the weakest part of the meal but still enjoyable.
