I LOVE MOMOFUKO DAISHO!!!!
I went on Saturday night. Got a last minute reservation for 945. The table was ready upon arrival. We sat by the window with a nice view of the city. I liked the atmosphere. Relaxed and simple. Elegant and chic.
The server was friendly and helpful and assisted us in selecting a sake and made some other food suggestions.
We had:
The Fois Gras - This is unique in that it is frozen and shaved over top of candied cashews, Riesling jelly, and another delicious ingredient which is escaping me right now. This is AMAZING! I've never had fois gras this way and I LOVED IT. The presentation, the flavours, DELISH! This is a pretty sweet appetizer and it was recommended as a desert, but I really wanted to try "crack pie".
The swordfish - Another winner, though may have been slightly over cooked.
The steak - I thought this was amazing, my boyfriend thought it had been marinated too long. It is very flavourful.
The Sides. OH THE SIDES!
We had:
The mushrooms - YES OMG YES! Bread crumbs take this to the next level.
The Brussels Sprouts - BEST BRUSSELS SPROUTS EVER! and a huge portion.
Crack pie for desert - I usually don't eat desert, but had to try this. I can see how it got its name. Very sweet. Very yummy.
I will definitely return to Momofuko Daisho. I loved it! I recommend this restaurant.
