Restaurant Week: Bridget Foy's

                                                                   Bridget Foy’s

Well, the best week is back for a Philly foodie: Philadelphia Restaurant Week! You can go to any of the participating restaurants for a pre-fix menu. Lunch includes three courses for $20 or dinner includes three courses for $35. You really have to do your research on the different menus and which restaurant you really get your money’s worth!

My friend Caitlin and I chose Bridget Foy’s on 2^nd and South Street and we felt as if we got the best deal yet! With great food and service, we are happy with our selection. The restaurant week menu included a cocktail, two appetizers, an entrée and dessert all for $35! It was a lot of food for what you were paying for and we left full and satisfied!

For my cocktail, I got the Red Sangria and Caitlin got the Blood Orange Bellini. Our drinks were served with the first appetizer, which was a Mac & Cheese Fritter. Basically, it was macaroni and cheese fried in the shape of a ball encrusted with a potato chip crisp! It had a barbecue sauce to dip it with and it was out of this world!

For my second appetizer, I got the Harvest Salad which included arugula, roasted beets, butternut squash, goat cheese, pecan, apricot and bourbon soaked raisins. What really made this dish was the goat cheese and bourbon soaked raisins. Caitlin got the Roast Pork & Broccoli Rabe Spring Rolls and thought they were amazing!

For my entrée, I got the Eggplant Parmesan Stuffed Pepper which was stuffed with broccoli rabe and garlic marinara sauce served over creamy polenta. Everything tasted so fresh and what I loved most about this dish was the combination of the sauce and creamy polenta. Caitlin went with the Wasabi Crusted Salmon and loved the cashew fried rice it was served with!

Then, dessert came around and we were so full. But, we knew we had to make room for dessert though! I got the Apple Crumble which was served with Basset’s vanilla ice-cream. A nice, warm dessert was a perfect end to this wonderful meal. Since Caitlin loves chocolate, she tried the Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake and loved the different flavors of chocolate!

As you can tell, this was a lot of food! I highly recommend you come to Bridget Foy’s for Restaurant Week or any occasion for that matter!
