For Jordan’s Birthday we hit up 2 very sought-after Seattle spots: Canon for a pre-dinner drink, and then Lark for the main event (It just so happened to be Seattle Restaurant Week: 3 courses for $28)! These establishments are literally right next door to each other. You can’t go wrong with this combo.
Our fancy cocktails…On the right, Beuregarde’s Breakfast (bourbon, montenegro, lemon, blueberry preserves, bitters) and an “elevated” Manhattan on the left.
Both spots were incredible and worth a trip back. The service at Canon was awesome (I wasn’t sure if there would be some major ego there after Anthony Bourdain stopped by during his Layover). The atmosphere is great, and quite obviously so are the cocktails!
We eat dinner early…by the time we left Lark was packed!
Lark is one of those places I have heard about for years and somehow I’ve never gone (that and a list of about 200 other Seattle establishments). We had a great time and enjoyed some wonderful food.
I couldn’t resist these at Canon – An incredibly awesome bar snack: Angostura Bourbon Nuts (cashew, pretzel, caramel corn)
Lark First Course: Smoked prosciutto with Volkhorn toast and pickled fennel
Lark First Course: Potato leek soup with green garlic and Iberico bacon
Lark: Chicken Liver Parfait with Armagnac prunes and walnut toast…Not my favorite thing, but if you like that sort of thing, go for it…
Lark Main Course: Lamb ragu with housemade cavatelli pasta, arugula and Parmigiano Reggiano
Happy Birthday Jordan! Pineapple tarte tatin with rum caramel and vanilla bean ice cream
Theo chocolate pave with caramelized banana and peanut butter mousse
