🇺🇸 San Francisco NAPA｜My Absolute Favorite – A Bite of Heaven!

📍 La Toque 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📜 All Black Truffle Menu (Seasonal, but some dishes remain year-round) 🕰️ January 20, 2023 💰 $295 per person This place deserves three Michelin stars 🌟🌟🌟! We originally wanted to book “The French Laundry” but couldn’t get a reservation in time, so we chose this relatively less-known French restaurant instead. Luckily, we got a same-day reservation! After our meal, my girlfriend and I both agreed: “Thank goodness we didn’t end up at The French Laundry!” La Toque was absolutely incredible 😍! 1️⃣ Black Truffle Soup ”en croute” Beef consommé with black truffle & puff pastry 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Far from ordinary! The black pepper balanced the richness of the beef broth, and the black truffle blended perfectly. ⚠️ This wasn’t a light consommé—it was intensely flavorful and robust. Even without the pastry, the soup alone was deeply satisfying. A world apart from other beef broths! 2️⃣ King Salmon “cuit sous-vide” King salmon with black truffle sauce 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Off the charts!) This dish literally made my tired soul light up 🤩! La Toque, you genius—how did you turn king salmon into a jelly-like texture?! 😱 This is next-level sous-vide mastery 🚀. Paired with black truffle sauce = I’m in heaven! 3️⃣ Agnolotti al Ortiche with Duck Confit Duck breast with black truffle potato purée & fresh shaved truffle 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 La Toque truly knows how to handle meat 🥹. The perfectly cooked duck breast paired with black truffle mashed potatoes and fresh truffle shavings was divine. I couldn’t stop eating even though I was already full! The duck was seasoned just right—not overpowering—allowing the truffle to shine while complementing the rich flavor of the duck. The pasta and profiteroles were also delicious 😋. Though not as mind-blowing as the above, they served as great transitional dishes in the menu. 🥰🥰 Overall, if you’re a meat lover or a hardcore truffle enthusiast, skip the hype and sneak away to La Toque for an unforgettable meal 😝! #HiddenGem #SanFranciscoEats #Foodie #MichelinRestaurant #NapaValley #FoodReview
