I was given a choice to eat wherever I want, so I chose one of my favorites, Pepato ( Nov. 25, 2008 ).
When I go back to a restaurant I have been to already, I promised myself that I will not order the same thing again and again. I will make sure that I have a new experience and try other things on the menu. Mireille Guiliano ( French Women Don’t Get Fat January 21, 2009 ) said that “Gastronomic boredom leads to lots of unhealthy eating. If you don’t make improvisation and experimentation a part of your eating life, you are sure to find yourself in an eating rut. It’s as bad as a romantic rut – losing that spark-and just as likely to get you in trouble!”
So, I did not order my favorite foie gras dish ( August 16, 2007)! But I discovered other wonderful dishes!
Just their first complimentary dish excites me already….They normally give you a bite from their appetizers menu- I do not know what this is called but it reminded me of a mini Mille Feuille but salty not sweet. I loved it!
I really like the tasting portions in Pepato – Raviolini, chicken liver pate sage butter. It follows very much the concept of Mireille G.
