We had another fabulous dinner with some friends at Bistro D’Azur.
We had appetizers of grilled octopus and beef carpaccio with burrata, watercress, radish, and basil remoulade. For entrees we all loved a special of tuna au poivre, and the grilled swordfish spanakorizo. We had an excellent dark chocolate torte and chocolate truffles for dessert. It all went great with some fantastic wines including Duckhorn Merlot, Mario Bazan cabernet, and Kunde red zinfandel.

We had another excellent dinner at Bistro D’Azur. Besides the always excellent lobster crepe, we had tuna cru with avocado mousse, radish, sea beans and soy gelee. For entrees I had an excellent lavender honey duck breast with delicious braised red cabbage, root vegetable puree, and spiced carrots. Mrs. P had roasted black bass with braised fennel, leeks, mussels, bouillabaisse reduction, rouille, and crostini. It all went great with an excellent 2011 Chateauneuf Du Pape.

We had another outstanding dinner at Bistro D’Azur. We enjoyed melt in your mouth rare roasted venison loin; monkfish bouillabaisse; grilled octopus; lobster crepe; and awesome mushroom soup with confit pork belly, pumpkin seeds and Lebanese 7 spice. It all went great with an excellent Shaw and Smith Shiraz.

Excellent pics, as always.

How was the crowd?

paryzer · March 16, 2020, 1:43am

Thanks Greg! It was a much smaller crowd than last night at Bloom. There were only about 2 other two tops besides us. Of course the stupid Mayor of Maplewood is telling everyone to not dine out at restaurants, which isn’t helping business. It looks like they did have a few takeout orders which is not the norm for a fine dining restaurant.

We had some excellent takeout from Bistro D’Azur. We really miss dining out here. This was actually the last restaurant we dined out at before the lockdown. I can’t believe it’s been 2 months already and counting. Below is a link to the details and pictures.

We had an outstanding dinner outdoors at Bistro D’Azur. We have ordered several takeout orders from them but this was the first time we dined there in over 5 1/2 months. We actually had our last indoor dinner there on March 16th. Those were the good old days Below is a link to the details and pictures including a rare picture of the fabulous Mrs. P in full Covid-19 diva mode
