"Closing and reopening a successful restaurant is a gamble, but it paid off for Alouette. The new space on the edge of the King’s Garden is both bigger and better than the original. It’s has always been centered around seafood, though the new seasonal menu has a heavy focus on vegetables and the farmers and producers who grew them. This is the kind of place where simple ingredients are the stars of the show: white asparagus is served with grilled peas and caviar, and Jerusalem artichokes alongside pork loin. The staff are casual and friendly despite the fancy vibe, and the chef will probably swing by for a chat or two over the course of the evening. The food is great, but the warm and inviting team is half the reason you’ll want to return. photo credit: Mikkel Bækgaard" - Mary Holland
