Farmhouse..SD

Welcome to the farmhouse! A rustic French country bistro type of a place, offering a small and quaint environment with only about 12 or so tables, locally grown and sourced foods are brought together for some fantastic meals.

Foie gras was offered tonight... Need one say more! Finally, a san Diego place that sears the tender duck liver with a plum sauce, a brioched pear slice and toasted bread... Fabulous:



A red and yellow beet salad with arugula and simple dressing :


Our gracious hostess was showcasing the house wine.. Corked an bottled locally, the restaurant purchased a couple of caskets of a red wine similar to a meritage...


But the piece de resistance, the lamb shank.. With bone and all! Hints of cinnamon, berries and wild couscous adorned this gorgeous piece of meat:


The kitchen was open for all the action to be seen:


Specials of the day posted on chalkboards also indicated to the side where items were items were being sourced from:



With art decor and other eclectic images throughout:


Homemade chocolates with sea salt, almonds, cherries or hazelnut soothed the full bellies:



Only to make room for the cheese plate.. A creamy Brie, a bite of an aged Camembert all in bite portions:


The farmhouse had a warm welcoming, great food and definitely on the list for returns.
