While I was gone K2 heard about a new restaurant in town, Sel Gris. So she made arrangements to have our very good friend Denise come over and watch the kids and made reservations for us to go explore.

All I can say is YUMMY! We sat at the bar, overlooking the open kitchen and saw Chef Daniel Mondok work right in front of us. To quote “everything is better with butter”. And he’s right – the food was amazing. I had sweetbreads with an egg yolk in cake batter as starter, K2 had foie gras. Simply wonderful. After that I had three different preparations of beets and K2 had a delicious endive salad. And as main dishes we had duck breast with mushrooms and rice and salmon on risotto with shrimp (gee – that sounds so mundane – I didn’t steal a menu so I can’t reproduce the correct description of the food). Triple chocolate mousse and an assortment of sorbets closed the dinner.

I’m not a food writer, I can’t do the food justice with words. You’ll have to come and eat (and see) for yourself. It was truly fantastic. And we already made reservations for a second visit – there’s too much left to explore on the menu (with a clear view of the kitchen we got to see many delicious looking dishes – very very tempting).

I love my life!
