We have done our best to get to new restaurants this year - though we're not nearly on track to last year's numbers. I've struggled a bit with motivation to keep up on this blog. After awhile it gets hard to post because there has been too much time in between posts and too many new restaurants....where do I start? Today we tried a new restaurant for lunch/brunch so I will just start here.
We tried a new restaurant in the Linden Hills neighborhood. The Harriet Brasserie has been open for several weeks and so we added it to our list. We arrived right around noon and while it was a gorgeous day we opted to not sit on the patio and took a seat indoors. It's a small dining room but very well done - simple, nice wood decor.
The brunch menu included a few sandwiches, but we both decided to order off of the breakfast side of the menu. The hubby went with the Ropa Vieja which included shredded beef, egg, queso fresco, fried yucca, rice & soffrito. It was a large portion of beef topped with a sunny side up egg over rice. He really enjoyed it and let me even have some of the yucca.
My dish was much simpler. Belgian waffle with crème fraîche and "seasonal accompaniment". The waffle was served with a rhubarb compote...the waitress had me at rhubarb. The waffle was great though it really seemed more like dessert than a meal. As my hubby's grandmother says "Life's uncertain, eat dessert first." Very tasty meal, though I probably could have used a side of bacon to get a little protein in with the meal.
A great addition to the Linden Hills restaurant scene.
Happy Eating!
