For dinner, I joined my friend Josiane for some girl time at Salle à Manger. I joked around that I wanted olives in my Hendrick's martini (it's usualy garnished with cucumber slices) so the wonderful waiter came back with my cocktail and... a side of olives! The evening was off to a good start.
My appetizer was a huge crab roll, served with green salad, cole slaw and potato pailles. I had a nice glass of sauvignon blanc with it.
The crab filling was delicious and the roll lightly grilled. The green salad that came with it had some fiddle heads in it, very yummy. The crunchy pailles were perfect with the creamy crab.
I also had a bite of Josiane's flounder sashimi, wonderfully fresh.
The restaurant is festive and fun. I like the simple decor and tables made with recycled bowling alley wood. It's perfect for an evening with friend or a romantic dinner for two. A few local stars were also casualy dinning at the bar, adding to the wow factor.
As a main, I chose the duck jambonneau and pan-seared foie gras, with a glass of red that tasted like ink (in a good way).
Tender, salty, meaty, delicious.
I could not eat one more bite - except for a taste of Josiane's Panna Cotta
