Lunch at Brasserie Beck
As I was about to grab something quick for lunch, my wife called to come over for lunch. I quickly looked up a place special to take her. Brasserie Beck came to mind. This Belgium cuisine is the place that I could not get a reservation on the weekend before 10pm. So I figure I could get it on a Wednesday lunch. I made a reservation, picked her up at the Metro, and we walked twelve blocks to get to 1101 K Street.
The place was pretty busy for a Wednesday afternoon. I ordered a roasted rabbit in Kriek beer and she went for a pan-seared fillet of salmon with curry fennel sauce. We ordered two fruit beers, St. Louis Kriek (cherry flavor) and Floris Pomme “Apple.” They have a nice taste, but each is $12 a pop. The rabbit tasted pretty much like chicken, and the sauce was simply plain. Her salmon was just grilled and sat on top of the curry sauce.
Nothing stood out except the bill. We had an eighty-dollar lunch. If I were to have a choice, I would rather settle for Hai Duong’s bun mam or Thanh Truc’s bun bo hue. I am still glad my wife came over to have lunch with me though.
“I would rather settle for Hai Duong’s bun mam ”
My man, that’s music to my ears! :o)
We haven’t have bun mam get together for a whle huh?
What say you? :o)

It’s cool to indulge once in awhile and go out of the norm. :)
True boo, it’s nice to do something different once in a while. It’s all good.
HmL, I can smell it already!
I used to go to so many different restaurants when I was single but
now with the whole bunch of kids, I
usually cook at home or go to my mom
for Vietnamese dishes if I am lazy.
I am so done with cooking but after
alot of disappointments from American restaurant and long waits not mention the big bill, I
decided stick with cooking most of the time except on the weekends.
It’s good to get different taste to appreciate Vietnamese food. My son who is 9 told me he is so glad he is Vietnamese because “I get to eat great Vietnamese food from being born Vietnamese” . This kid can eat just about any Vietnamese traditional food. He loves bun bo gio heo but of course I limit his binging to make sure he doesn’t gain too much weight :)
Your boy is cute. He’s gonna break mad girls’ heart.
