| - Baratin is a small restaurant in Scottsdale with an amazing chef. The restaurant is Baratin at lunch time and FnB for dinner. I was here for the Batatin lunch which has a constantly changing menu because they only use fresh, local, organic ingredients. The menu is very short for lunch (only six items on the menu when you include the desert) and much longer for the FnB dinner. It doesn't matter that the menu is short because if you come with an open mind, you will get a great meal whether you are a meat eater or a vegetarian. Everything on the menu is very good gourmet food at a reasonable price. The Baratin lunch menu is much more simpIe than the FnB dinner menu but it is just as enjoyable. They only cary local Arizona wines and draft beers. They also serve delicious cocktails. I ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade and a turkey sandwich called the Macy's Day Parade Part 2. The lemonade was so good! Probably the best lemonade I have ever had. It had a little bit of pulp in it. It was just the right balance of sweet and sour. The sandwich was smoked turkey, avocado, mustard greens, feta and green Harissa on fresh gourmet artisan bread. I don't know what Harissa is but I love it now! It made this sandwich pop! It seemed to be a savory type of relish or tapanad. The fresh greens and smokey turkey made this a great experience on the toasted artisan bread. The sandwich was clean, fresh, savory, flavorful and filling. The sandwich came with a mix of pickled vegetables that have the perfect tangy accompaniment to the sandwich. The vegetables were green beans, onions, squash, cauliflower, greens, cucumbers, carrots, and celery. Together you have a great symphony of flavors dancing on your tongue. End the meal with the butterscotch "puddin" and you will be ruined for life on pudding. The pudding is so full of butterscotch flavor and sweet but not overly sweet. It is topped with fresh whipped cream and baking spice or nutmeg which reminds you of pumpkin pie, as does the thick texture, but it is pudding and it will haunt your dreams. This pudding is the stuff dreams are made of. It is the one dish that is always on the menu. The only problem with the butterscotch pudding is that i can't get my tongue in the bowl to lick it clean, but maybe that was intentional since other people in the restaurant probably don't want to see me stoop to such actions. The restaurant is not pretentious at all. The employees are always very sweet and give great service. If I lived or worked by Baratin I would come here every day and not get sick of it. If you want simple yet reasonably priced (the sandwich was just $12 and the pudding was $5) gourmet food, come to Baratin. You HAVE TO come in the evening to experience the complex gourmet flavors of FnB from the very same chef!!!
