Brasserie Wolf Restaurant Week Reprise

I've finally managed to get to the Restaurant Week meals, and there's still so many meals that I've skipped because there simply isn't enough time to blog about them all. Anyway, this year's Restaurant Week was a very stable affair for us, because we weren't that keen to try new restaurants, especially those with the star requiring an extra supplement of $15 or $20. We loved Brasserie Wolf last year, and so we went back there this year for yet another $35 3-course dinner. We ordered each of every item on the set menu, which meant we got to try everything.

I had the foie gras with cherry sauce - this was a very decently-sized serve (in fact on the generous side), and the foie gras was done perfectly with a seared outer skin and a lusciously soft inside. The cherry sauce complemented the foie gras very nicely. It was a wonderful beginning to our meal.
The husband had a portobello mushroom with salad and goat's cheese - he wasn't too big a fan of the cheese, but he said the mushroom was okay.

I had the coq au vin with mashed potatoes. This was pretty good - very country homestyle with root vegetables and a rich flavour that could only come from hours of stewing. I was hoping that they would have had the boeuf bourguignon they served last year, but this was a decent alternative.

The husband had a pan seared red snapper, which I didn't try. He said it was okay (poor fellow).

He perked up when the dessert came, and declared it the best Baked Alaska he had ever eaten. Finally a dish that made him happy - hurray!

I had the classic profiteroles - the vanilla ice cream was quite well done.

All in, it was a very enjoyable meal (for me at least) and because of the value for money factor, I'm definitely going to make reservations again during the next Restaurant Week.
