"There’s a lot to love at Matt Carter’s French bistro in Kierland Commons, including a duck confit sandwich, Parmesan-truffle fries, a sidewalk patio perfect for people-watching, and a dreamy, labor-intensive chocolate soufflé (which could be classified as an endangered species). Made with premium Valrhona chocolate and dusted with powdered sugar, it’s an intensely chocolatey puff of air, which the server deflates at the table with a spoon, filling its molten core with rich, creamy sauce (chocolate or Grand Marnier, take your pick) poured from a tiny pitcher. The larger, shareable soufflé takes 30 minutes to bake, so plan accordingly, or order an individual size, which is ready in under 20 minutes." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy
