Last Friday night Ezra and I ventured downtown to try a new restaurant, self-described as "A contemperary Belgian Brasserie" for dinner. Unfamiliar with Belgian food, this was en entirely new experience for both of us (unless you count Crêpes, or, more specifically, crêpes Suzette, which are apparently quasi-Belgian) so we indulged with vigor. Here's what we ordered:Appetizer: Quiche Lorraine
Light yet rich at the same time, this was probably my favorite part of the meal. Over 2" high, It was served with lightly dressed greens (which I was unable to identify) on the side. 4 out of 5 stars
Main dishes: Striped Wild Bass & Duck Congolese Almondine
My bass was a mild, white fish with little flavor. It was on a bed of tasty whipped potatoes, with an uninspiring tomato sauce to finish it. Ezra's Duck was just ok, but I only tasted a bite of it, so perhaps I didn't get a good perspective on it. He didn't seem overly excited about it either though, so perhaps I'm right. Overall, 2.5 stars
Side dishes and starters: Fresh baguette and frites
Ok, so the baguette was amazing. Enough said. The "frites", aka french fries, were very hyped up by others who had been there before and loved them, which is why we ordered some. I enjoyed them, but Ezra thought they were no different than McDonald's deep-fried delights. They were, however, served with three types of mayonnaise: garlic, tomato, and curry-infused. Overall, 3.5 stars.
We'll definitely go back again, but hopefully have better luck with the entrees, or just go and fill up on appetizers, as we hear that their mussels are quite tasty.
