| - We went to Bar Begonia shortly after it opened, and found it to be fun, good food and cocktails, and noisy. Now, over a year later, it has maintained all of those qualities.
I had an excellent Vieux Carre to start and we moved on to a very reasonable Pinot Noir for $60.
The Guinea Hen Terrine was wonderful with rich taste, and interesting mustard accompanying it.
The Veal Tarine was a cold dish, unusual and yet full of taste with again and interesting mustard included. Recommendable.
The Turbot, not often seen on menus, was outstanding with a great sauce. (I have to admit a certain prejudice in thinking that Turbot is one of the best fishes there are).
We very much enjoyed the duck, crisp, accompanied by good hot french fries.
And then, against our better judgement, we decided to have desert and had the Paris Brest and we were very glad that we did. Again unusual, interesting tastes and well executed.
There is no doubt that this is a fun and lively place. However, at the same time it is loud.
It is still clearly an 'in' spot, well worth visiting.
