| - Oh my, Pig in a Fur Coat may just be my new fave restaurant in Madison. I've heard so many good things about it, but just haven't had a chance to eat there yet. Until last week, when a girlfriend and I went for dinner. It was freezing, and 7:30 on a Friday night. We walked into the restaurant (which is so much smaller than it looks, btw) and were told it would be about 20 minutes. So we ordered some wine at the bar thanks to some suggestions from the friendly "bartender" and waited. I don't know how they do it, but the space seems much less cramped than it should. It's a tiny room but it doesn't feel like it. Which is pretty awesome.
When we were seated (almost perfectly 20 min later), our waitress brought us some water and asked if we had any questions about the menu. We decided to order 3 plates to share between the 2 of us. First, the Duck Fat Fries of course. These were amazing - how do they get so crispy?! Even at the end of our dinner they were still crispy. So yummy. We then tried the ravioli which was also very good. The runny yolk in the center made me very happy, And the combination of the sauce and the crispy brussel sprouts was delish. Plus as a bonus you get a slice of bacon! Our last plate was the Foie Gras Mousse. I had just watched Corey talk about it on the news as one of the best plates in Madison and had to try it. I was not disappointed. The combo of the bombolini, creamy foie gras mousse and fig was out of this world. It is a very rich dish, so thank god it's a small plate because I don't think I could eat much more of it without getting a stomach ache. But it is worth it!
By the end of the meal I was super full and very sad that I didn't leave room for dessert. All of the desserts looked delicious, and I will just have to return soon to try them.
