The perfect dinner on an early August evening. We had planned on a particular destination for dinner, but they were closed for holidays. We took an "on the street" recommendation to try out Braisenville.
Upon arriving to Braisenville, we were met by a smiling Hugo, who promptly found us a table and gave us a good explanation of the menu and ways to order off it.
Between the 4 of us, we ordered 4 veggie, 2 fish, and 4 meat dishes. Hugo made recommendations on how to adjust our order for a better overall taste. He took care of the rest, bringing out the dishes in a specific order so that one flowed perfectly into the next.
With each plate, he gave us a breakdown of the different makeups of the dishes, showing a pride in the depth of the meals.
Every day can be a different meal, as evidenced by the date at the top of the menu.
Here are the dishes we ordered:
Veggies:
-A plate of grilled vegetables (fine but typical)
-Emulsion of Ratte potato from Touquet, walnuts, mushrooms, and watercress
-Tomato, pineapple, glasswort
-Burrata, spaghetti zucchini, grapefruit, rhubarb
(Last three all tie for first place. Do not skip any of them!)
Sea:
-Turbot, spinach, beetroot sorbet
-Hake, green peas, raspberry, black garlic
Land:
-A slice of Angus beef, from Dakota (very tasty)
-Pork filet, lime, fennel (fine, but least favorite)
-Marinated tender veal, cauliflower, scamorza, mango x 2 dishes
We then enjoyed some dessert as follows:
-Chocolate, Tonka bean
-Cherry pie (best)
-Strawberries, cucumber, peanut froth
-Pineapple sorbet
All of the dishes were light and did not overfill us. We had a couple glasses of paired wines.
As we left the building, it started to rain. Hugo offered us an umbrella that had been left months ago.
Lovely place with a friendly atmosphere. Definitely planning on going back again.
