My niece has been Keen for me to try her latest neighborhood gem as she calls it, Ngogo. Until yesterday it was difficult for me to go along but I managed it yesterday.
I haven’t always been excited about tasting menus but once there I felt it was the best choice. The March or perhaps spring- not sure - tasting menu was two starters, salmon tartare, and then three seared shrimp, with accompaniments. The main is 5 oz of duck breast with artichoke puree and spinach. The dessert is a white chocolate panna cotta. The menu photo gives you all the details. I thought I’d be hungry afterwards but it was actually enough. Perhaps extra bread would have done the trick. I really enjoyed it despite how cold I felt at the table. Our server was young and calm and very attentive. I think there was only one chef at the back so well done to him. The atmosphere is intimate, there aren’t many tables so you should book ahead if you plan to go. The price was $38 and there were additional items you could order to boost your experience, such as a fifth course of pasta, or cassoulet to go with your duck. Recommended.
