Restaurant Review: B Restaurant San Francisco

05 Apr

There is nothing better than to be able to have some quality couple time. Hubby and I decided to do just that this past weekend.  We decided that a bit of relaxation and just a little bit of one-on-one adult time is a must. We took a few hours for ourselves and relaxed with a massage, a walk, and brunch.

I decided to take advantage of being able to get out on the town (so to speak), and picked a new place for brunch. The quality of the restaurant could have made or broken our lovely afternoon. I’d like to report that our brunch, from the location to the food, was a pleasant experience.

I am sure at this point you’re dying to know what this fabulous restaurant is. Well, I won’t hold you in suspense any longer. B Restaurant & Bar in San Francisco offers brunch on both Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm. With inside and outside seating. There was an “in the shade” or “in the sun” option.

My favorite brunch dish is Salmon Benedict. In fact, I tend to pick brunch restaurants based on whether they serve Eggs Benedict as part of their brunch menu. Hence, you see why I originally picked B Restaurant & Bar, hoping it wouldn’t disappoint.

Menu and Salmon Benedict

Disappoint it did not. The salmon was fresh, the eggs were perfectly poached (not over or under cooked).  Both hubby any I ordered the same dish. I know, not very original, but we truly like Eggs Benedict and salmon, so when we have the rare opportunity to get out for brunch, that’s our dish of choice. I know what you will say,…just make it at home. To that I say…it probably wouldn’t be the same.

Since we were trying out a new place, we couldn’t leave without trying their dessert. There were only two options, one a bread pudding, the other a chocolate torte with chocolate ganache and caramel. We all know that hubby is a huge chocolate fan, so chocolate it was.

Chocolate Torte with Chocolate Ganache and CaramelThe chocolate torte with a crispy crust and nice gooey caramel filling. The torte was sprinkled with a bit of sea salt. Which gave it a very balanced taste of sweet with a hint of salt, but the salt didn’t overpower the sweetness.

Overall, I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, which was capped off by a delicious brunch. I will now leave you with yet another view of Salmon Benedict (can you tell that I like it?) :)

Strawberry-Goat Cheese Bruschetta

20 Apr

Last week my boss shared with me a great recipe for strawberry goat cheese bruschetta. I have to say this is one of the few times that I didn’t lose any time, and on the way home stopped by the store and picked up all the ingredients needed for this amazing appetizer. In fact I made the dish that very same night, when I got home. The strawberry goat cheese bruschetta was the main meal for me that night.

This appetizer is mouth watering (exactly the sensation I experienced when I first laid eyes on it). And why not? All the ingredients individual and together are delicious. So drool no longer, instead take 20 minutes to make the Strawberry Goat Cheese Bruschetta from the Better Homes and Gardens website.
