Iggy’s

An early birthday treat.  Parents know the best gifts for their children.  My parents are so well-informed on mine that when I suggested having dinner at Iggy’s, there were no reservations on their part.  They knew how greedy their daughter can get.  I know what’s on your mind now.  Yes, what an opportunist!

Having heard so many good things about Iggy’s, I had a positive feeling about this place.  Sometimes there are those restaurants where you err before the meal.  This wasn’t one of those.  Impeccable yet warm was the service, the staff knew the menu inside out and was ever ready to give us satisfying answers to all our questions. 

With tasting menus, I believe the purpose is always to surprise and to learn new exciting ways of matching one with ingredient with another, the relationship of textures and the potential of supreme quality produce.  Among the notable firsts I had this time were Kurobuta pork and Maguro tuna.  Plus foie gras creme brulee and elderflower foam. 

Iggy’s is highly recommended for its convenient location.  There are not many restaurants that make it to the Top 100 Restaurants of the World that’s as close as a 4 hour drive from home.
