| - My boyfriend and I had dinner and drinks here on a Saturday night. What a cute place! The decor of the restaurant is very zen and elegant . It's white everywhere with lots of plants.
The drinks here are pretty strong!! That's what I want from a bar! They have a few interesting cocktails. I started with a cocktail called Le foie gras because I am obsessed with foie gras. It didn't taste like it though :( The cocktail contained of a liquor called Armagnac with foie gras and sugar. It surprisingly tasted a bit like an old fashioned. There was even a slice of orange in it. My boyfriend had the Seasonal Julep cocktail. It was a bit like a mojito but it contained gin, tarragon , cucumber, salicorne, white pepper, mint and sugar. Next I had the Verdita cocktail which reminded me a bit of a Bloody Caesar. I ordered it with gin because I like gin and the waiter recommended it but you can choose another type of alcohol if you wish. It was like a veggie smoothie with tomato, parsley, cucumber, celery and it was rimmed with a chili type powder. It was good but I prefer a regular Bloody Caesar. I also tried my boyfriend's A Night in Tunisia cocktail and it was so refreshing! It contained pineapple rum, watermelon, ras al hanout (North African spice), sea salt and lemon.
Everything we had was great! For food we shared the salmon bio entree. It had some cream with beets and cucumber watermelon hybrid. On top of the fresh salmon there was some crunchy stuff... almost like Rice Krispies. Then we shared two mains the duck and the chicken. Both were very good but the duck was the highlight. The duck was very flavourful and came with a side of string beans mixed with mushrooms and blueberries. It's a very salty dish. The chicken was in a form of a roll and deep fried on the outside. There was a yellowish sauce but I don't know what was in it. The chicken needed the sauce otherwise it would have been a bit bland.
Lastly the dessert was amazing! It was pretty light and it was not too sweet. I don't usually eat dessert but I could have eaten it all by myself it was that good! We ordered the figues and pecan. Basically there was a thin circular layout of graham crackers with figues on top with a crunchy sugary layer and white cream on top and on the side there was pecan ice cream.
I would come back.
