    D'Ark

    ...at the Icon with a river terrace and live music: ...special Halloween lunch: satisfying tuna tartare, tasty hummus with grilled eggplant (loved the pomegranate seeds), mussels in a light cream/celery sauce and a very challenging spicy seafood pasta...for dessert: an excellent tiramisu heavy on the espresso and a strawberry cheesecake. To drink: Tuscan water and a carafe of very nice St. Emilion red...we're definitely going again...

    Rather eclectic, but that all looks really good.

    Funnily enough, I was out for Lebanese on Friday and had some great hummus. One of my favourite dips in the world from one of my favourite cuisines.

    That'll be the Belgian influence in the eclecticism...

    ^ Moules-frites originated in Belgium but is one of the most popular dishes in France.

    Simple and lovely...


    That looks like a really nice meal TC.

    Only joking TC, tough crowd on here sometimes. Looks ab-fab would scoff all of that. If you have a friend I look great in a dress.
