Greetings!
I have another promising eatery to share with you! I wished I knew about this place earlier!
This is no typical restaurant, actually it is wrong to call it as such. You pick at the “counter” at the sight of several already cooked meals. It is difficult task to choose! They serve ready-to-eat meals, much better than frozen dinners or even supermarket’s ready-to-eat.
Their cuisine exceeds most restaurant’s quality if not comparable at much friendly price (of course, it is pricer if you buy the ingredients and cook them yourself).
They conveniently place nice picnic tables right outside their doors so you can enjoy their food immediately as well.
I’ll just jump right in and introduce some of the food I ordered.
Mac n Cheese!
This is 4 cheese mac n cheese that was the only thing that I wasn’t that impressed. Very cheesy indeed but couldn’t find the wow factor.
Godly Lasagna (not the actual name..but might as well!)
Oh man THIS lasagna is the mother god of all lasagnas! I have never in my life felt so complete eating lasagnas… Don’t be fooled by the basic looks of the pictured lasagna. It has unimaginable multiple layered fillings ! It got all the basic fillers of lasagna plus SAUSAGES. Not those tiny ass sausages. But whole sausages!
This is a must order!
Smoked duck leg
Some were fooled to think this duck leg is dry! It was soooo tender and S-M-O-K-E-Y. I could taste the smokiness in every bite as if I was right in the location the duck was cooked!
Braised lamb
The sauce for the lamb was so delicious that we actually kept the leftover (cough, the tiny bits of sauce) and pour it over to a simple stir fry vegetable dish, and it became not so simple anymore! Total transformation!
The braised lamb was perfect cooked, tender. But it was slightly less loved because the lasagna and the duck were over the top amazing.
Black sausage
Hum…this unattractive black looking sausage doesn’t look that appetizing. In fact, I found it rather normal. It has cheese oozing out once bitten, but still failed to impress me when its confreres spoiled my taste buds too much.
One little warning, all these foods are priced by weight. So…be careful that your eyes are bigger than your tummy!
I will be coming back for more soon enough! There are still so many dishes that look incredible delicious!
Sara says: Mmmm… It all looks tempting! How much did it cost you for all that food?
And that lasagna looks amazing! Have you ever tried this lasagna recipe:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/worlds-best-lasagna/
It’s really good and since i tried it, I’ve never had any restaurant lasagna that could top it. If you ever do it, there’s a few modifications you’ll need to make…. Let me know if it’s the case. It takes a good 1-2hrs of prepping but it’s really worth it!
I wouldn’t say it was cheap eats, but I think they were very reasonably priced for the quality. If I remembered correctly, the bill was in the 60$ (taxes included). Just a little note, I remember clearly that the 2 lambs were about 16$, which led me think it’s a good deal when restaurant would probably charge at least 20$ for each.
The recipe you referred to reminds me so much of the lasagna from Magnan!! So…maybe…just maybe, Magnan is in the same level of the recipe! 😀
I always have a hard time making lasagna, it takes too long to cook in the oven! But I have saved the link whenever needed 🙂 Thank Sara!
Great find! I never heard of this place. The food looks so comforting. I’ll put that on my map.
Thanks!
Hey Victor!
I am really happy to have “discovered” it! I really can’t wait to eat their lasagna again!
On a side note, I always love your food pictures on your blog!
