New York Must-Try | The Bazaar, Perfect for Date Nights
๐ฅ This meal was truly charming! I booked this place last minute for Valentine's Day this year, and I wasn't expecting too much, but it exceeded all my expectations! It's on par with Michelin standards! The ambiance alone adds so many pointsโlow-key luxury without being stuffy. The lighting is soft, the music is relaxed, and the atmosphere is perfect for a date or celebration! The dishes are exquisite and creative, and the molecular gastronomy pairings are super innovative. After finishing the meal, all I could think was, "I have to come back again!" Plus, the handsome waiter slicing ham on-site adds so much to the experience. โจ Menu Japanese Sea Urchin Cone โ ๐๐๐ Delicious but so tiny! The sea urchin is incredibly fresh and sweet, exploding in your mouth. It's paired with yuzu pepper mayo and a touch of subtle spiciness, with nori and shiso leaves adding texture. Cotton Candy Foie Gras โ ๐๐ An unexpected combination of foie gras, cotton candy, and caviar soy sauce. It melts in your mouth like a piece of sea salt toffee. It feels a bit too small, though. Wagyu Air Bread โ ๐๐๐๐ This dish is amazing! My favorite and a classic signature. The air bread bursts with flavor when bitten into, with crispy bread, Wagyu beef, cheese foam, and caramelized onion jam. Instant happiness! Seared Scallops โ ๐๐๐ The scallops are incredibly tender! Pan-seared to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, paired with Spanish chorizo XO sauce. The slightly spicy, salty, and sweet seafood flavor is enhanced by the foam of bonito dashi butter. Japanese Baby Peaches โ ๐๐๐ So cute! Paired with creamy burrata cheese, sweet and tangy, with hazelnuts and brioche croutons adding texture. It's the perfect palate cleanser (though those who don't like sweet dishes might want to skip it). Washugyu Strip Loin Steak โ ๐๐๐ Not bad, but it feels a bit overpriced. Served with piquillo pepper sauce and kombu butter rice, it tastes more like a stir-fry. Cinco Jotas โ ๐๐๐๐ I loved this! The handsome waiter slices it on-site, adding so much to the experience. The ham is paper-thin, with rich fat and a savory aroma, paired with classic Spanish bread and sauce. So fragrant! ๐ Summary: Beautiful ambiance, exquisite and fun dishes, perfect for dates, celebrations, or treating yourself! I definitely have to come back and try the other dishes I missed this time. ๐ ๐ฐ Price: Around $200 per person #RestaurantDiscovery #AmbianceRestaurant #NYCFood #NYCLife #Food #GlobalEatingSquad #DateNightRestaurant
