Beatrix*.

Christmas getaway with my bf in Chicago! 
Started off our trip with breakfast at Beatrix located conveniently near our hotel :)

Had breakfast & a quick lunch snack here.
Very home-y ambiance.

SHAKSHOUKA 3/5
Bf ordered this, one of the healthier choices to start off the day. It was yummy - especially the pouched eggs, but when I compared it to what I ordered (below), I liked mine a lot better :)

A WONDERFUL EGG WHITE OMELET 4/5
The name definitely suits the egg white omelet.. It was so soft & fluffy!! SO GOOD! I'm a big fan of avocados and they've added plenty to my meal :) Would definitely order this again.

SIDES 

CHICKEN SAUSAGE 3/5

LUNCH - SNACK

AHI TUNA CRUDO, seven flavour chili 3/5
So much avocado was mixed with the tuna - very fresh. Paired this with sparkling wine & mango, pineapple nectar. Great for a quick bite!

Scaramouche Restaurant Pasta Bar & Grill*.

I had a lovely time at Scaramouche. My bf took me here for my birthday :D 

There's complimentary valet parking, which is nice because it's located near a residential area.. not sure where to park haha

Complimentary Sampling:

The view was amazing from where we were seated so that added to the nice ambiance. 

I'd recommend:
King Crab Ravioli - the crab was very fresh, you can taste the individual chunks of crab meat.

Butter poached Nova Scotia lobster - This was amazinggg... all the flavours were soaked into the lobster. Soo good!

Partridge - The meat was juicy and the foie gras was pan-seared nicely. Crispy on the sides and soft in the middle.

DESSERTS
Valrhona Araguani Chocolate Delice
GODLY GOOD :D needless to say... I'll definitely order this again! 

Service was excellent. Will come back to try other things on the menu :)
