Michelin-Recommended Hidden Gem of the Year! ✨
For my sister's birthday, we tried this east-end French bistro recommended by Michelin - The Wood Owl - and it exceeded all expectations! This might just be my best culinary discovery this year. 🥂 🍽 Dish Highlights 📝 🥩 Steak Tartare (we ordered TWO plates for four people - that good!) - Silky-soft beef with perfect sweet-sour seasoning - Served with gloriously buttery, crispy baguette slices 🥖 🐟 Smoked Trout Dip - Addictive smoky fish spread with house chips - Perfect drinking snack! 🍸 🍞 Chicken Liver Mousse - Velvety smooth paté with blueberry compote - Slightly sweet brioche = HEAVEN 💫 🥩 Ribeye Steak (Medium) - Beautiful marbling, cooked to perfection - Served with heavenly roasted mushrooms 🍄 🌽 Sweet Corn Cavatelli - Gnocchi-like pillows bursting with corn sweetness - (Only downside: portion could be bigger!) 🍖 Lamb Ribs (Special) - Cumin-kissed, fall-off-the-bone tender - Served with green beans & sweet potato mash 🍠 🍰 Desserts Solid but not spectacular ($12/slice) 🍹 Drinks Great cocktail menu with pretty options for girls' night! 🍒 🏡 Vibes: Cozy wooden decor with neighborhood charm - exactly what you want from a bistro. Michelin got this right - no fussy plating, just incredible flavors and generous portions. 💸 Great value for the quality!
