Lately, I've been feeling like I'm missing out on all the events in the city - Taste of Little Italy, Taste of Asia, Rib Fest to name a few. So today, Nathan whisked me away after work to Restaurantacular! It took place midtown with many of the local restaurants offering $2, $4, and $6 nibbles and samplers.
on our menu
$6 halibut & chips @ penrose fish and chips
$4 mango salad @ the friendly thai
$12 assorted tapas, a chipotle pulled pork sandwich & a goji berry green tea (very refreshing) @ pimenton
$2 salad @ culinarium
$5 fruit tart & a slice of apple blueberry pie @ the flaky tart
I am absolutely in love with the pie and tart crust from the flaky tart. I wish they made a pie filled with just crumble crumbs. Culinarium, an interesting little shop that supports local, organic and sustainable products, also stood out during our food adventure so I will definitely revisit this one in the future. And although I'm no fish & chips connoisseuse, I really enjoyed the halibut & chips at penrose...though I might have been more smitten by the look and feel of the shop than the food itself (it gives me an excuse to visit this place again).
Since I was caught off guard with this mini date, I didn't have my camera so my pictures are a bit grainy - I'm just happy I was able to capture the evening at all!
I ate entirely too much, but am feeling over the moon!
