New York | A Delightful Spanish Tapas Sister Bar (2)
๐ Saint Julivert A sister restaurant to Txikito, located in Brooklyn, offering a fusion of Spanish and Japanese flavors. ๐ฃ ๐ Whipped Mackerel: This dish is a crowd favorite, but I found it pretty standard. It tasted like a strong-flavored open tuna sandwich. ๐ ๐ Anchovies: A must-try for anchovy lovers! The combination of butter, mousse, chili, and onion offers endless flavor pairings. The bread is the same sourdough as in the previous dish. ๐ต ๐ Wild Shrimp: A foreign take on marinated shrimp. The shrimp are huge and abundant. I enjoyed the bitterness from the grapefruit, which added a refreshing twist. It reminded me of a dish from Farra, but I prefer the soft texture of sweet shrimp. This one was just average. ๐ค ๐ King Oyster Soba: The most impressive dish! The mushrooms mimic a cold noodle dish, perfect for those watching their weight. Hahaha, this dish is so good you can't get enough! ๐ ๐ Venetian Style Risotto: The risotto from the sister restaurant is consistently delicious. You can taste the different textures of scallops, shrimp, and mushrooms. It's the ultimate comfort food! ๐ ๐ Cod Pot Pie: Avoid this one! It's a letdown. The pastry isn't flaky or fragrant, and the filling tastes like a crab cake. The cod doesn't add any extra value. I don't get it. ๐ Right next to Saint Julivert is another sister restaurant, La Vara. The entrance is right by a park, making it perfect for a summer evening stroll and a drink. ๐ฟ Txikito is conveniently located next to Shukette, making it a great alternative if you have to wait too long for a walk-in at Shukette! ๐ฝ๏ธ #RestaurantRecommendation #HiddenGemRestaurant ๐
