What would you order here?
It's been a while since I've posted one of these, since I eat out so rarely! But I'm meeting up with a friend for dinner tonight and I'm excited. It's restaurant week, so I get to pick one option per course. Pretend money is no option (lol, I wish) - what would you order here? (Remember, I'm asking what YOU would eat, not for you to tell me what I should eat.)

I'd be having me some Poulpe Basquaise with a Steake Tartar chaser (just like mom used to make ;> ). Lots of protien, low carbs, terrific flavour & texture profiles. I'm sure you won't have to worry about over portioning in a place like this. Then take off before I have to pick up the tab.
Enjoy your culinary adventure.
Thanks for the food fantasy excerise
I would start with either the mussels or the beet salad and then the trout entree.

Royale Sea Bass Crudo
Sea Scallops Crecy (I'd ask for very little "Forbidden Rice!" - OMG what could possibly be in that??? Please find out and tell all! :)
I'd probably skip dessert or just get the Seasonal Berries and ask for very little crème anglaise.
YUM!!!!!!! The leftovers will make a great lunch tomorrow.
You must update us and let us know how the meal was!
Original VSG 3/23/2012 - Revision/Resleeve 1/6/2017
Forbidden rice (if I'm not totally off base) is black rice. One of the 'best' rices nutrition wise (per 100g cooked):
- Polished white rice - contains 6.8 protein, 1.2 iron, 0.6 fiber.
- Brown rice: 7.9 protein, 2.2 iron, and 2.8 fiber.
- Red rice: 7.0 protein, 5.5 iron, and 2.0 fiber.
- Black rice: 8.5 protein, 3.5 iron, 4.9 fiber, and the highest amount of antioxidants of any rice variety.
...but it's still carb-y rice.
