"You are an artist, a philosopher, a daydreamer. Your friends have told you before you seem to have been born in the wrong era, and they’re right. You want to live a life of passion and vigor, filled with good wine, great coffee, and world-class food. Bon voyage, you belong in Paris!" - BuzzFeed Travel Quiz
Although my subconscious yearns for a midnight stroll along the Seine river in Paris, I must escape my thoughts for a moment and accept that I am in the Paris of the West. Los Angeles, which is equally known for its entertainment, cuisine and fashion culture, is home to Petrossian - a restaurant which can rival even the finest French haute cuisine. Known best for their assorted varieties of caviar, I went to Petrossian to embark on a three course journey through Parisian delicacies.
While I sampled all of the dishes, please note the prix fixe menu provided during restaurant week encompassed three dishes: appetizer, entree and dessert.
Prix Fixe $45.00
Caviar Salad
butter lettuce, shaved egg, shallots, lemon, dill, crème fraîche
comments: slighty salty; appetizing to stronger palettes
Cauliflower Soup
white truffle oil, brioche, leeks
comments: creamy and savory; wonderful alternative to onion soup
Mediterranean Sea Bass
artichokes, leeks, celery, capers, caviar
comments: small portion; celery should be replaced with a starch
Wild Mushrooms Tagliatelle
chestnut, rosemary, parmesan
comments: pasta is made fresh and cooked al dente;
variety of mushrooms makes for an excellent dish
Persimmon Cake
carrot, ginger, pistachios, pecan, basil
comments: reminiscent of carrot cake;
airs on the side of dry
Chocolate
milk chocolate, white chocolate, coffee
comments: for the chocolate lovers at heart
The service in addition to the high quality food made for a 5 star experience. If you have time, use your time to peruse the boutique shops along Robertson Blvd. for a fulfilling experience of your midnight in Paris.
