last week my dear friend and i tried the {extremely} new french restaurant on the east side, laV. we were in over our heads when we read the menu, but ended up having one of the most tasty and fancy meals. the atmosphere is french country, they have some very unique dishes, and if you're into wine they have a whole book to choose from.
last week i was lucky enough to jet home for 24 hours in order to attend jc's oath ceremony – aka, we have a swiss-turned-american on our hands, folks! my time consisted of trying a new bbq spot with lindsay at freedmans, helping martha cook dinner, watching jc cross over into the promise land, and then celebrating at home with good friends, good food, and lots of wine.
^^ this was literally a thing. ps there were 68 different nationalities represented at this event. craaay.
^^ those little nuggets of gold were crafted by yours truly. and that is my cute lil baby doggie.
congrats jc! and thank you so much for having me.
it seems like every time i go home to austin there is a new place to eat, drink, or live. that city is growing like ca-razy. luckily my friends and family keep me posted on the hot new places so that i still have some knowledge about my hometown.
two of my favorites that i tried (and highly recommend) over the holiday were: clarks oyster bar: right up my alley. super small, cute, good vibes, and a killer menu. we had so much fun discussing the ridiculousness from the night before over oysters and burgers. bon appetit!
lenoir: i can definitely see why this is my parents favorite new restaurant. austin was in dire need of a little french spot, in my opinion -- and lenoir is better than i could have imagined. the rustic shabby chic decor makes you feel like you're in someone's home, and even better that they max out at about 30 diners.
the menu is three course pre-fix, however you can pick any 3 items you want. for example, you could choose all three 3 desserts. just sayin. bon appetit!
