joethefoodie Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 @Wilfrid - they still are cooking the duck breast to our liking (i.e. properly)... Magret on a bed of braised red cabbage, with Semmelknödel and Brussels sprouts. The duck was great; the Semmelknödel perhaps even better. Amazingly light and soft, and prepared via baking in a bain marie, as opposed to simply baking or poaching. Katja was slammed last night; great to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yes, I just saw that on IG. Maybe I should risk it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The dumpling will fill you up even if you end up not eating the duck breast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For magret without risk, I highly recommend Majorelle, in the Lowell Hotel. I’ve ordered it there often, the last time in 2021 when they had outdoor dining. It’s always on the menu with seasonal accompaniments. I feel confident you won’t be disappointed. They offer a two-course or three-course prix-fixe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rozrapp Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 @joethefoodieI presume $34 was just for the duck plate? No denying that Majorelle is expensive, but it is luxurious and quiet which we really appreciate. We’ve not been to Katja. From their IG feed, it appears they have outdoor tables. If they still have them when the weather gets warm again, perhaps we’ll try it since even if the magret is not always on the menu, we both like that type of cuisine.

Also, the cocktails at Majorelle are $24 and that's just insane. No more outdoor tables at Katja - they've taken down their set up. Two different experiences - I like fun and somewhat noisy.

Wilfrid Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 At least you expect to pay that price for cocktails in a 5 star hotel; not so much in a “neighborhood” bar in Hamilton Heights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He always paired a glass of wine with each course. Thanks for the info re: Katja’s outdoor dining situation! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 To be fair, you can order an appropriate glass of wine while waiting for your first course and perhaps continue drinking it with your first course. Champagne, cava, Prosecco. (Yes, I’ve already had a cocktail on the way.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
