Five Star Restaurant for a Five Star Chick:The French Laundry

The French Laundry in Yountville, California:

By far this is the most sophisticated, calm, and inviting restaurant that I would love to visit. Just the view of the restaurant is so inviting that you wouldn't believe that it is a five star restaurant. The thing that gets my attention the most about The French Laundry is that they have their own garden. So you know that their ingredients are always fresh. I respect their dedication to have their customers pleased. If I was to dine her I would come during lunch time to get the full feel of the relaxing and laid back atmosphere. I would most defiantly get the Chef's Tasting Menu. This includes:

“OYSTERS AND PEARLS”

“Sabayon” of Pearl Tapioca with Island Creek Oysters and White Sturgeon Caviar

MIGNARDISES

One reason I love this restaurant is because, just like the others, you order a whole meal. But you as you all know, good food cost money. This may seem like a laid back restaurant but the price is anything but. This menu cost $250 per person o.O But honestly I think it might be worth it. As much as I love food, I love money more. And spending money doesn't make me happy. lol

Anyway, that is all for today!

More tomorrow:)
