Annisa – West Village – NYC – Throwback from my 31st bday – August 2012
So this is totally a catch up post, being that I ate here 3 years ago, but I need to post about this place because it was amazing. I also wish I had better pictures to post. I hope to go back again, especially for the foie gras soup dumplings in the least, so I’ll update when I do 🙂
Luis surprised me and took me to Annisa 3 years ago for my 31st birthday. This intimate restaurant is owned and operated by award-winning chef, Anita Lo. Her Asian background mixed with her French training is reflected in each dish. We did the 7 course tasting. Here are a few of my favorite dishes. Please see the captions for descriptions. These dishes were all incredible.
Annisa – West Village – NYC – Foie Gras Soup Dumplings – aromatic pork broth with foie gras mousse and jicama, then topped with seared foie gras. I still dream of this decadent, savory dish.Annisa – West Village – NYC – Fluke Crudo – Himalayan sea salt, avocado sauce, black lime sauce, radish, daikon. I forget what the top left piece was, but it was a special part of the fish. This dish was so fresh and delicious.Annisa – West Village – NYC – Broiled Spanish Mackerel, fried garlic milk, satsumaimo (Japanese sweet potato), Korean chili. Holy mackerel this was delicious. My first time having it too.Annisa – West Village – NYC – Grilled Wagyu, escargot (my first time having them), garlic brioche, alba mushrooms and radish. So complex and amazing.Annisa – West Village – NYC – I know, kind of silly for me to post this pic, since I can’t remember what any of these were, but I love cheese, and this cheese plate was delicious!Annisa – West Village – NYC – Yes, Luis stole this flower from the bathroom for me and surprised me with it outside when we left. Sorry, Annisa! It was so sweet though 🙂 It’s the thought and intention that counts ❤
We had dessert here too, but unfortunately the pictures I had did not do them justice, but they were delicious and inventive, in a good way.
Annisa is located at 13 Barrow Street in Greenwich Village. Their website is http://www.annisarestaurant.com/. Reach them by phone at 212-741-6699. I would recommend making reservations WHEN you plan to go here (since it is a pretty small place), because you definitely should 🙂
