Living where we do, and having the lifestyle we have (work, work, work, play with dogs), Nadia and I spend a lot of time socializing around tables. Restaurant tables, our dinner table, the counter we eat at when it’s the two of us at home, and more. So I’m inaugurating a new category here at mikel.org called simply “Food” in which I plan to note down quick reviews of restaurants we go to, meals we make, things we put on the grill, etc.
The first entry will be to note our favourite new (to us) find, a wonderful market/French resto called La Colombe on Duluth E. We’ve been twice now in the past few weeks and everything we’ve had has been spectacular. Last time, I had the magret de canard, which was wonderful, and the time before that the jarret d’agneau (sorry don’t know what you’d call that in English; probably a lamb hock or something) which was just a shade less satisfying as the duck. Hint: they suggest the cheese plate as an entree, but save some wine (it’s BYO) and you’ll enjoy it more where it should be served – before dessert.
