For Valentine's Day, Brian, Duo (although he slept throughout the meal) and I decided to celebrate at Balthazar, a beautiful French restaurant located in Soho.
It's one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Have you ever been there?
Everything in the menu sounded amazing. I decided to try something I had never had, so I ordered the duck confit with yukon gold potatoes, cipollini onions, wild mushrooms and frisée salad. Sounds great, right? Well, it was delicious!
Brian ordered the steak frites. I'm the one that usually cooks and I don't buy red meat, so below you can see that Brian was super happy with his steak.
Then my favorite part of every meal—dessert. We had the warm vanilla bread pudding with butterscotch sauce and strawberry sorbet. It was heaven. Look at my face after the first bite. Yes, that good.
The meal was amazing, the place is beautiful, spacious and the service is wonderful. Duo napped the entire time so no bread pudding for him. Can't wait to return! Maybe I'll order that bread pudding again...for Duo, of course.
The outside of the restaurant is beautiful. Look at the building below. Can you see Duo and I sitting in the bench to the right? Yup, that's him still napping.
