🍽️ Madison Food Journey: Otto's Restaurant & Bar

📍 Restaurant: 【Otto's Restaurant & Bar】 ⭐ Rating: 4.7/5 This might just be the most authentic French restaurant in Madison! Absolutely delicious 😋 Must-orders: 🍅 Tomato bisque — Rich and creamy! 🦑 Fried calamari — Crispy and tender! 🍖 Lamb chop — So flavorful, no gaminess at all! 🦆 Farm duck — Cooked to perfection! The French techniques really shine through — classic, elegant, and well-executed 👌 The Otto’s Trio and Seafood Trio were good but not outstanding… though the grilled shrimp was a standout! 🍤 Honestly, I’d recommend ordering the grilled shrimp on its own next time! A few notes: 🍄 Mushroom cap — Not as flavorful as I hoped 🍄 Mushroom bisque — Could be more aromatic 🥬 Veggies — Okay, I skipped those 😜 🥔 Duck came with mashed potatoes — and WOW, even someone who doesn’t usually like mashed potatoes LOVED these! So creamy, buttery, and piled high like a snowy mountain ⛰️😍 Great atmosphere for dates or small celebrations — upscale but not stuffy. Will definitely be back! #MadisonWI #MadisonFood #FrenchCuisine #WisconsinEats #FoodieReview #OttoRestaurant
