Bo Beau

This past weekend, my hubby took us to a celebratory dinner at Bo Beau.  This dinner was a welcome home celebration.  After 3 weeks away in Miami, it was time to get back to our roots.  That means doing what we love to do best... EAT!!!

Bo Beau is a charming French influence restaurant located in Ocean Beach.  This chic bistro is a great to come for a nice relaxing meal.  The ambiance is very chic, modern and minimalistic with touches of Southern France.  The cozy tables and dim lights are all nestled along the outdoor patio just screams romance.   It was the perfect setting to my date night.

We ordered the following:

Starters:

-Crispy Brussell Sprouts...that's right I said brussell sprouts.  I would never have thought I would be able to get my hubby enjoy something like this but it was really GOOD!!!  I really enjoyed everything about this dish.  It was prepared to perfection with parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, and crispy pancetta.  The flavors combined were really delicious.  At the end, the hubby and I were fighting over the last piece of brussel sprout.

Entrees:

-Burger Royale was quite a piece of art.  It has stripes of cured pork belly, gruyere cheese and a mountain high of pomme frites with green peppercorn aioli dipping sauce.  It was a strange combination, but it was so so so good.  I would say it was one of the best burgers I have even had.

-Boeuf Bourguignon was delicious blend of flavors.  I adored the combination of baby carrots, fingerling potatoeas, mushrooms, slow cooked beef, and crispy pancetta.   It was so rich I could not finish my plate.  it is did not help that my hubby had a mountain high pomme fries enticing me.

After dinner, we ordered their delicious Chocolate Souffle with caramel, basil, and strawberries.  I highly recommend saving room for desserts.  The chocolate souffle was out of this world.  This souffle was made to perfection.  It was the best souffle I have eaten.  

Thank you Bo Beau for getting my hubby to eat brussell sprouts and a wonderful evening!!!

Life According to my camera...

Lately,  I have been traveling a lot for work and living on a diet of coffee.  Well, I have been home for approx week and I am enjoying even bit of it.  Out of love and some guilt, I took my hubby out to enjoy some of his favorite foods. Here are some photos from my adventures (sorry most of my adventures are with FOOD and this handsome fella).  ENJOY!!!
