Might as well post the rest of the meal.
Burgundy escargot en Croute with garlic parsley butter Soft egg in the shell with smoked sturgeon, kaluga caviar; absolutely spectacular. The LA Times restaurant critic Bill Addison raved about this. Caramelized onion tarte tatin with goat cheese; another Bill Addison's favorite Onion soup gratinee; our consensus was that there was too much thyme in the broth and that Ludo's version at Petit Trois is better. Bouillabaisse, striped bass, clams, mussels, prawns; the broth was phenomenal Liberty Farms Sonoma duck breast with braised cabbage, baby turnips and pears French fries with tarragon aioli; good, however, Ludo's are better Passion fruit and blackberries, and chocolate and berries tartes |
Mixed baby lettuces with red onion, candied walnuts, dried cranberries & blue cheese dressing
Halibut with brown butter & parsley & lemon https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...541aef374b.jpg |

Wow! beautiful. I did go on the website after you mentioned it...I wouldn't get past the baguette though (and it sounds like they keep bringing more). Yelpers all mentioned the soft cooked egg, Did you get the prix fixe?
I don't follow Yelp restaurant ratings, but I do follow Bill Addison on Instagram. bill_addison Verified Aaaand we’re back. Returning to the world after weeks of marathon writing for this year’s 101 project. Proofing the last of the pages today. (It’ll be live online Dec. 7.) Finished writing last Wednesday and marked the occasion at the @bicyclette.la bar with cocktails (Calvados and tonic is good fall drinking) and an egg-on-egg situation. #latimesfood https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4071a1b095.jpg |

One of the best baguettes ever, Chef Margarita Manzke's baguette with Rodolphe Le Meunier Normandy Butter at Bicyclette last night (she and her husband Walter are also the chef/owners of Republique). As good as any that I have ever had, including in France.

Yes, they keep bringing as many baguettes as you can eat, however, there is a charge for extra butter.
I don't follow Yelp restaurant ratings, but I do follow Bill Addison on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWY3sXCB..._web_copy_linkThere don't have a prix fixe menu, we just ordered what appealed to us. Sorry about the bad focus. |

I was looking up a couple other places today & got this confused with someplace else that had a prix fixe. I did see the menu online. I happened to see the Yelp when I was looking for the restaurant site. I find them to be fairly accurate although certainly a different animal than a food critic.
My go to sources for restaurant recommendations are Bill Addison and the other LA Times food writers, Eater LA, James Beard Awards nominees and winners, Michelin and recommendations by chefs that I like and follow on Facebook and/or Instagram; they do dine at restaurants other than their own. Oh, yes, also friends and acquaintances whose taste in food I trust. |

Took a tray of deep-frozen short-dated stew beef out of the freezer a few days ago. Had goulash a few times to many this year (even the resident Austrian feels that way). So the alternative was steak and mushroom pie (never developed a taste for kidneys). Beef is stewing now and goes into the oven later. Will be served with yellow mash potatoes.
Also bought some short-dated chicken yesterday. It's been grilled after being coated with a spiced yoghurt to make chicken tikka masala in 2 days with a recipe from... America's Test Kitchen! |
Duck confit
Picked up some duck confit at Costco earlier in the month. My wife heated it up in the oven, and then quickly seared it on the stove. And then added scalloped potatoes. A perfect dinner!
