What can I say? I am still astonished by the experience I've just had there - and I needed it.
It's been a while I've been looking for new experiences in food, and La Palette provided me exactly what I was looking for. I shared from the appetizer to the dessert, including the wine with my husband and everything was perfect for the two of us.
We started with the venison tartar, you shouldn't miss it! Delicious! Then, came the main dish: the three-way musk ox - now, this is THE THING, YOU WANT THAT. It's a musk-ox sausage, musk-ox tenderloin and musk-ox ragu served with magic sauce and everything delicious. The tenderloin is SOOO TENDER you can't believe it's not butter (ha). It's one of those things you have to try before you die. I'm glad I did.
For dessert, we ordered the creme brulée trio. I've had, about eight years ago (yeah, man) an AMAZING CRÈME BRULÉE EXPERIENCE that I'll never forget (for those curious, the place is called Bar D'Hotel, in Rio de Janeiro). Finally, I've had a similar experience! And, I LOVE CRÈME BRULÉE!
Service was impeccable, fast, friendly, perfect. I have no words to describe.
If there's something I don't like there? Although I think the idea of having the kitchen in the middle of the restaurant seems super cool and modern, you end up smelling like food. I don't want that after spending lots of money in a restaurant. The stairs to the washroom are greasy for obvious reasons.
Still, I loved it and plan to come back really soon. I am in love.
