Dinner at Cafe Presse/ by Don Sefton, Events Manager, Catering
One of my favorite types of food is French bistro fare. I love it for its simplicity, straight-forwardness, and local ingredients. I recently had dinner at Cafe Presse and had a very memorable meal. Started out with half a dozen wonderful oysters chilled on the half shell. My salad of curly endive, pears, a lemon-oil vinaigrette, beets, and blue cheese was refreshing and marvelous (photo left). The crunchy baguette and butter was wonderful.
My main course of Oregon trout was euphoric; boneless and it came with a lemon-butter sauce, capers, and roasted cauliflower and brussels sprouts (photo right). So light, so delicious, and so perfect!
The wonderful thing too about Cafe Presse is the portions. They are not monstrous- which is great. Everything is of a delightfully modest proportion, and all very affordable. You are able to have multiple dishes if you want, or just one if your appetite is light. Iam fortunate to have Cafe Presse located just a few blocks from my house on Capitol Hill, amongst other great neighborhood restaurants.
