Last night I had one of the best meals of my life. I found out that Bistro La Bon, a restaurant I've been wanting to try forever, has a 10 course tasting every Thursday. For $35pp you get 10 amazing courses, bigger portions than I thought too. The chef is so creative and I think this is his play time. He puts together ingredients you wouldn't think to but they turn out amazing.
I know the first two and last two plates, but I'm a little uncertain on the order in between.
1. Watermelon gazpacho that was unexpectedly (and delightfully) a little spicy
2. Fresh buffalo mozzarella with heirloom tomatoes, micro basil, and 12 yr balsamic
3. Goat cheese stuffed peppadew peppers with carmalized onions and a ginger honey sauce - this was a favorite
4. Seared scallop over mashed potatoes with demi glaze- dining partner said scallop was perfectly cooked.
5. Crispy avocado and asparagus with sweet chili sauce- another favorite
6. Salmon- don't remember much about it, I don't like seafood
7. Sweedish meatball and potatoes with ligonberry
8. Some kind of cream cheese whipped cream with ouzi? fruit- really good and very different
9. The most amazing cheese plate with a brie type cheese and apricot marmalade that went perfect together
10. Chocolate flourless cake with mango sorbet
The food was just to die for, but also the anticipation of what was coming next was really exciting. I can't wait to go back. It's different every week.
