Simpatica Dining Hall + Bushwhacker Ciders (PDX)

1 Mar

A reservation made months ahead of time turned out to be on the evening of a special cider-themed collaboration with Bushwhacker Cider. How fortunate.

Kitchen and dining room:

The chicories with leek ash and egg (no photo) were amazing.

Chestnut soup with fried Jerusalem artichokes:

Pickled quail egg, salmon roe…

Gin-barrel-aged cider. And Alice (their granny smith cider) on tap.

Butter turnips. Excellent rutabaga. And sure, some pork.

    How fortunate indeed. I’d love to attend a dinner with cider pairings. I much prefer the stuff to wine or beer and that sounds like a terrific menu. Love your blog name by the way.
