It's been a while since I've paid any attention to the list. My 1001 days are up in October and it isn't likely I'll finish to much more. I did cross one off today.
83. Eat a meal at "Catit"* - [Completed 06/07/07]
My impressions:
1. The food was certainly unusual. There was a bit TOO much happening on the plates, with too many flavours competing with each other. Some dishes were great (my cousin's first course scallops, for example, which were thinly sliced and served in a sour brulee type sauce), others were ok. My main course, panko-crusted scallops could have been great, but it had a green sauce of some sort that simply negated all of the good. My brother's risotto was too sour.
2. The prices had no connection with reality.
3. At those prices (close to $50 for a main course, $30 for a first course, $15 (!) for a plate of seasonal fruit), they should be able to afford someone to proof-read their menu to avoid such unfortunate mistakes as "comfit".
4. The back patio is really great - not too many tables, not too crowded. We didn't even hear the two tables next to us.
5. I can now say I ate there, but I certainly can't claim that it was beyond creative.
What and where is "Catit"?
Posted by: n at July 7, 2007 02:10 AMHow is "comfit" a mistake on a menu?
Comfit is like a little after-dinner course of candy or sugared almonds.
Confit, which could also apply, is a type of marination.
How was it used that you think it was an error?
PS: I've never heard of this place and at those prices, I'll never be there! But just curious.
It was in a savory appetizer. On their website, they offer "Deserts". Luckily they offer a nice bottle of Perrier to accompany the meal ;).
Catit is a restaurant in Tel Aviv. It used to be situated in the middle of nowhere in Israel and has a very good reputation, so it was on my to do list, and now that it's moved to Tel Aviv what better opportunity is there? At any rate, I left there feeling swindled.
