First of all, happy birthday to my dear sister ! She's already 20 ! Time sure does fly. This week it was Dine Downtown Restaurant Week and many local chefs put together three course dinner menus for $30 per person. We've never experienced the downtown restaurants or the type of the places that serve three course meals, so this was just the perfect thing to try for my sister's 20th !
There was a list of participating restaurants and we spent quite some time looking over their menus. We decided on going to Paragary's and I'm glad we did.
We were a bit overly dressed compared to everyone else, but it was whatever. Dressing up is fun anyways, right ? haha
For starters, I chose the Citrus Cured Salmon with mandarins, avocado, and pickled beets. The salmon was so good ! How can I eat any other salmon now that I know stuff like this exists ?? I must try making cured salmon later. Everyone else got the salad, which didn't look that pretty, but I thought it was tasty as well.

For the main course I got the Grilled Hanger Steak with a potato celery root gratin, chard and black truffle jus. I. Just. Loved this. It was so nicely portioned and everything just had so much flavor. There were two little slices of some mushroom on the steak and I was so sad there wasn't more! I just loved everything.
Is this how rich people eat all the time ? I am so jealous haha

John and I took a big spoonful of the pots de creme haha |
For desert they had two options, an apple galette and a chocolate espresso pots de crème. The apple thing was alright. I didn't eat much of it, but I nearly ate a whole ramekin of the chocolate pots de creme ! It was rich, chocolatey, airy, and soft. Our waiter suggested we share, since people usually never finished the chocolate dessert, but I ended up eating almost a whole thing haha.
We went home after and enjoyed some cake with friends. It was such a perfect dinner and I wish I could say the same about my day. Someone stole my clothes from my locker today but I also played a few good games of tennis with my friends before dinner. Why would someone want to steal someone's sweaty dirty p.e clothes ? cmooonnn. just a few more months and then I'm done with p.e - 3 -
