The Reluctant Chef

We had a great weekend filled with amazing food. Last night we were invited over to a friends place for lobster and steak. So good. On Saturday night we went to one of the great new restaurants in St. John's. It's called The Reluctant Chef. They do a 5 course tasting menu and you can get it paired with wine.

The first course was a radish salad and it was paired with a glass of Champagne.

Then we had a seafood soup with mussels and lobster. It came with a Chardonnay.

The next course was a pan-fried cod with a Riesling.

The main course was their take on lasagna. It was house made pasta with duck and was delicious. They poured their wine very liberally so things were getting a little fuzzy at this point. I can't remember what kind of wine came with this one, I just know it was red.

For dessert we had a piece of banana bread and chocolate ice cream and it was served with a really nice port.

 It was a great meal and a long way from Ches's fish n' chips.



I hope everyone has a great Canada Day tomorrow. Lori has to work, so we aren't doing anything special but it's nice to be home this year.
