Wow - every time I return to the Dis after a break, it seems like there's a major new development. This time, the live thread got relaunched and it's already at 10 pages! Thanks so much for keeping it going, Barb. I wish we had a trip coming up soon so I could share updates here, but that'll have to wait. Anyway, during my extended study break today, I've found some interesting food news on various sites.
First, Sanaa has some new dishes:
-Peri Peri Shrimp appetizer with avocado, pap, and apple slaw
-Kadhai Steamed Mussels with fennel-infused coconut sauce
-New "Slow Cooked in Gravy" Options (Bison Masala, and Sustainable Fish in Goan Curry)
-For lunch, the burger is now a Bison Burger
-Some dessert changes (such as Tanzanian Chocolate Mousse, Mango-Saffron Mousse, and a new dessert platter that serves 5 people)
Le Cellier has also made some menu tweaks. The most interesting change has to be with the poutine. There are now 3 different options!
-"Le Cellier" Poutine with Canadian Cheddar, Black Truffle, and Red Wine reduction
-Asian Pulled Pork Poutine with braised pork shoulder, spicy kimchi, and sriracha mayonnaise
-New Brunswick Lobster Poutine with butter poached lobster and Meyer lemon crème fraîche
The first time I had poutine at LC (for lunch) it was awful, but the dinner version with truffle salt and cheese curds was a huge improvement. It's nice to see them continuing in a creative and upscale direction (exactly what a signature should be doing, IMO) and they're still keeping some Canadian 'inspiration'.
There are probably more exciting menu changes to share, but these ones really caught my eye.
