Lavandou
Tonight was my last night at NAHB Productions so my mom wanted to take me out to celebrate. I did a restaurant search based on neighborhood (which I usually do) and we ended up at Lavandou, a Provencal restaurant in Cleveland Park.
I adore French food, except when it's too heavy and rich. That wrecks havoc on my tummy. But Lavandou's food was light. I had a rockfish with penne, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes (I die) and sauteed spinach. All yummy individual foods that worked well together. White fish always tastes light to me so paring it with the heaviness of penne pasta works.
All these food gems should be brought together by some kind of sauce correct? All I tasted was the olive oil of the pasta mixed in with the sun-dried tomatoes. Not quite watery, but the perfect consistency to dip my left over bread in.
My beverage was something called a French 75. Champagne, gin, lemon juice and sugar. What a concoction. The gin and the lemon juice were almost like a gin bucket but the champagne gave it a nose-tingling punch that classed it up. Refreshing.
