What dessert would you order at Jiko?

[drumflower]

Hi! Which one would you choose? Please give a desciption and is the size big enough to share after eating a full meal? The sundae :flower: sounds very unique. Any pictures?

Have not eaten here yet, but would love to hear about some desserts!

Pistachio creme Brulee is my favorite. Don't think it's large enough to share---

:flower1: I love creame brulee! Are the pistachios ground or chunky? :flower1:

Why choose??

When we visited Jiko on our last trip, we had the darndest time deciding, so the waiter said they could make up a sampler platter of five deserts. It was incredible. The Pistachio Creme Brulee was spectacular as were the chocolate candy purses. They had a Shiraz Poached pear at the time as well-- delightful. We also did a sampling of appetizers as well that was just as amazing.

Just thought I'd throw this option out there.

Hope this helps!

When we went in March 2003, we had the chocolate banana bread pudding...it was SO yummy!! DH loves bread pudding and declared it the best dessert ever! I don't see it on the menu anymore, though, according to Deb's site. DH will be crushed!

I LOVE the pistachio creme brulee, the chocolate "beggars purses", and the flourless chocolate cake.

I usually don't have room for desert but the Zebratini is to die for!

Hi! What exactly is a Zebratini?????

The Pistachio Creme Brulee is my favorite dessert at Jiko. I can see I am in good company! It is soooo smooth, and the flavor is outstanding. Even if it came in a gallon size tub, it would not be big enough to share for me. When I order it, it's all mine and if DH wants some the rule is he has to order his own.

Pistachio Creme Brulee sounds wonderful. I am already drooling. :love:

A sampler is a nice way to try a variety of desserts... I'd be tempted to do that.

It's pretty "smooth"--no chunks.

In my humble opinion the Sundae was the best sundae ever. I love those little meringue dots. Ahhh drool. I wish I had one right now. I did not like the chocolate purses and I don't remember the creme brulee much. Mmmm the sundae.

The chocolate beggar's purses ... they made me make obscene noises. :earboy2:

[drumflower]

I guess me and DH won't be sharing dessert! I love creame brulee, so the one with the pistachio would be fun to try, but I love dark chocolate and if the beggar's purses makes you make obscene noises, well that would be fun! :bitelip: now onto the next restaurant choice, CA GRill! lol :cool1:

Hi! What exactly is a Zebratini?????

I can't remember exactly which alchohols are invovled but the glass gets drizzled with chocolate to make it look like stripes and then it's a creamy chocolaty martini. If you like bailey's then you'll also love this drink!
