Menu -Spoonful
Not a lot of choice, but I think we picked the right ones :)
I noticed that the serve of rillettes was quite a bowlful, but it was ridiculous to serve only 5 or 6 small slices of croutons / crostini with it.
Julia and I were in the mood for trying out an interesting, cosy cafe, and we settled on Spoonful in Prahran. It was a bit pricey, but the food was good!
We picked it in part because we wanted to visit the shops around High Street, Armadale. It's been a long time since we've been in that part of town.

Menu for an asian restaurant that solely concentrates on simplicity. The menu is wrapped in a cream textured cover that imitates Asian rice paper.
Beer menu printed for an upcoming wedding; the menu featured two beers brewed by the groom specifically for the wedding. Menus were printed on A7-size soft white card stock with brown ink.
Vintage menu from the Golden Parrot, located in the historic Fraser Mansion at Conn Ave and R St NW. Previously known as the Parrot Tea Room, the Golden Parrot was opened by Johnnie and Hilda Goldstein in 1950. It continued in operation into the mid-1970s, followed by the Golden Booeymonger and Fourways restaurants. In 1994 the Church of Scientology moved in. The mansion's historic portico seems to be have been damaged by a falling tree during Saturday's storm.
This was our menu, edible, with Creme fraiche, popped jasmine rice, parmesan bits.
Review of our meal (D's birthday celebration - I had the wine pairing, which means 18 glasses of wine, yikes, still recovering) forthcoming [or not], but here's a snippet about Moto www.b12partners.net/mt/archives/2005/02/moto_rising.html

There's a stamped copy number on the back. It appears that each menu may be individually numbered (mine was no.18).
The interesting thing to note about the menu at dal Pescatore is that its cover changes every year. The significance is that it is based on a painting that Antonio chooses from the collection that is featured on the restaurant's walls. I found it neat to be able to look around to see all these pieces of art that have inspired some of the beautiful covers (many which are featured on the restaurant's website or on the back cover of the current menu) - it was almost like a built in activity while waiting for subsequent courses.
Impressions:
On my brief travels in northern Italy, it became clear with each mention of dal Pescatore evoked fond memories to all that had walked through its welcoming doors. Each sigh added to my anticipation to experience the restaurant that has been recognized as one of the centers of finest Italian cuisine and hospitality, even though I didn't know much more than its 3 Michelin star status and the fact that it’s a dining destination (in the literal sense). The Santini family, owners of the elegant dal Pescatore, has been refining their cuisine, a careful balance between innovation and tradition, at this Runate-based restaurant since it was opened in 1920 by Antonio Santini’s grandparents. Chef Nadia and her son Giovanni interpret regional cuisine with talent and innovative flair; sometimes you might even find grandma Bruna (like I did) in the kitchen. Son Alberto and father/owner Antonio work their magic in the dining room. I hear that it is rare, if ever, any of the family members are far from the restaurant, and that devotion to their craft was already a notable quality that garnered my admiration.
Tucked in between Cremona and Mantova, in the picturesque village of Canneto, Ristorante dal Pescatore is a pilgrimage for any food loving enthusiast. A bit difficult to get to (especially if the trains don't cooperate), the restaurant would probably be best found taking a pricey taxi ride or (even better) renting a car. It is well worth the travel and expense as once you arrive, you feel as if you've stepped into a frozen moment in time where you don't feel rushed to leave but to stay in a warm surrounding of contentment and simple bliss forever. The low and charming country residence is welcoming. It's decorated with fireplaces in each of the large rooms, floor to ceiling windows and mirrors added to the sense of light and space, and charming artwork decorating its walls and mantels. The building also encloses a peaceful garden, a perfect setting to sit at the veranda to wait with drink in hand for one of the well-dressed tables in the dining room. Dal Pescatore only has 24 covers (6 tables in the dining room; 3 patio tables on the veranda) scattered in three dining rooms (a main room, one with one large table for eight, and another blocked off by plants). The dining room is a sight in itself: luxurious, polished, warm but clean. It's packed with treasures and character, but none of it is loud or messy. It's hard not to just sit and soak in the sophisticated setting, from the sponged blue sky ceilings and walls that echo the comfortable modern classic country posh feel, dishware and place settings that whisper elegance, style and actually added to the dining experience more than being the center of attention themselves, to the obvious attention to things that are contemporary chic.
I was taken care of by very kind and attentive servers, including 2 waiters, 1 sommelier, 1 table runner, and the fatherly host, Mr. Santini. It was hard not to feel as if I was a dignitary in such a grand setting. In reality, I was just a food enthusiast keen to soak in all the glories of being in a space where the love of food was apparent. The cuisine itself is refined, innovative and classic. I was reminded of how simple cooking is very hard to come by, really delightful, and extremely delicious. How it was possible to craft excellent fare without gimmicks and gadgets, and how it was possible to focus on the ingredients without being lost in its interpretation. Pasta was not simply pasta – they were pure ribbons of silk; herbs were not just aromatic nor decorative as much as they were explosions of flavour and colour; meats and vegetables found perfect harmony on the plate and struck a perfect balance with sauces or oils. Although I stuck with the Menu della Campagna (the Land Menu) which carries some of dal Pescatore classic Mantuan cuisine, I was surprised (and thrilled) that none of them seemed pedestrian, dated or boring. The plating was clean, the portion sizes were fair (in fact, I felt just right with each plate – no scraping nor leftovers) and I was more than comfortably filled by the end of the meal.
I was introduced to a couple more Italian wines showing me the potential this country had beyond the freshly prepared produce. I also noted that there really is such a thing as the 50 mile (or in your back yard, or in the next city/region) diet; that local pride is a good thing and not just for snobs or food hippies. Above all, I was struck with the epiphany that it is possible to have an emotional commitment to a restaurant, one that make you miss it like you miss your favourite grandma's warm hugs/curly hair/smell years after her passing. Dal Pescatore was that kind of restaurant to me, and no doubt will remain so for a long time coming.
The menu changes all the time, however the one we had was the version starting from Jan 18. Lucky for BY and I, the restaurant was starting to serve some of the house cured charcuterie (meaning all charcuterie that was being brought in will slowly be phased out) that they started when they first opened last fall.

For a side project.
The floor would not be black, but covered in some color tile. I put down dark tan just to see what it looks like.
Also tried for a blocky rendition of the CS logo. Door slides open.
C&C welcome, but since this is going to be virtual, please keep that in mind.
Love the buzzy atmosphere and shared tables at Carlton Espresso. The pastas are very good!

The bar belongs to architecture, a place of temporary hospitality somewhere to go for a quick drink and a cruzie vibe a spuntino; a short stop before hitting the road again before assuming one’s social productive role; it is a haven a temptation and a refuge - embrace it as the Italians have. - Monika Kiss Horvath (Written on the back on the menu)
Vintage menu from L'Espionage at 2900 M St NW in Georgetown. Jean Moran (1898-1971) opened the restaurant in 1955, the year before Le Rive Gauche opened a few blocks away. Both heralded a new era of French-themed fine dining in Washington. The restaurant lasted until 1965. More on Jean Moran's restaurants at: www.streetsofwashington.com/2023/06/jean-morans-dc-restau...
