The Farmer’s Cabinet
Yay, the best time of the year is here…Restaurant
Week in Philadelphia! My first reservation was for lunch at The Farmer’s
Cabinet on 11th and Walnut Street. This restaurant has always been
on my list to try and I thought it be great to go for Restaurant Week!
Restaurant Week includes participating
restaurants with pre-fix, three-course meals. Dinner is $35 and lunch is $20.
You get a great quantity and quality of food for what you are paying for. It’s
a great deal! It goes from September 20th-25th and
September 22nd-27th.
The Farmer’s Cabinet, has an old rustic,
1800s era feel to it. When you walk inside, you first notice the bar with many craft
beers on tap and candles lit in Mason jars. Straight back, you see long wooden
tables or barrels to sit at. It feels like you are stepping back into time!
For my first course, I got the Smoked Beet
Salad which included watercress,
almond vinaigrette and crumbled goat cheese. The goat cheese was so creamy, it
truly made the salad. And what I loved was the beets were thinly sliced and it
was a different texture than used too.
For my second
course, I got the Butternut Squash Ravioli which was goat ragout, sage cream,
shaved parmesan. The raviolis were on a bed of the goat ragout, which is
shredded goat meat. It was a great compliment to the taste of the butternut
squash. The dish was three fairly large raviolis and it was the right amount!
For dessert, I
got the Goat’s Milk Ice-cream. Now the flavor changes daily. But today’s was
vanilla with chopped chocolate covered pretzels! The ice-cream made with goats
milk truly makes a difference. It was so smooth and creamy! Add with the crunch
of the chocolate covered pretzels, this is probably the best ice-cream I’ve had
in a while.
I highly
recommend coming to The Farmer’s Cabinet or any of the other participating
restaurants for Restaurant Week. Here is the link to the website to see a full
list of the restaurants and their menus! Make your reservations fast!
