In fact, I can still remember the first time when I had a peak through the window of the restaurant Ten Tables. Was it really “it”? A room with only ten tables placed close the ones to the others, with an open kitchen in the back, where you can feed your curiosity by observing, from the corner of your eye, what is going on in the food preparation stage. If you did not know about the place, or had not heard about it, you might not even stop there. Well maybe not. Small, quaint, Ten Tables is an adorable local restaurant where you can have a casual comfortable, yet elegant meal, comme à la maison. Every time we go, we are welcomed by an excellent friendly waiting staff, and of course, delectable food. Last week, it became even better. Not only did we dine there once, starting Friday night with Alli and Yoav, but we went back again on Sunday as we had a special occasion to honor. Since the talented Lara, as friendly as sensed from her blog Cook & Eat, and her husband Cam were visiting Boston, I thought about taking them to Ten Tables right away. We would not mind a second dinner there for sure, especially as I knew we would end up spending some time chatting with David Punch, the chef. Ten Tables is that type of friendly place. We enjoyed celery root soup and grapefruit granité mise-en-bouche, green lentils and Toulouse sausage, homemade charcuterie — yes, they smoke their meat on the premises — culotte steak with Yukon potatoes and bone marrow, Homemade Gnocchi and Root Vegetables — bummer they were out of their oxtail — Arctic Char with Meyer lemon salsa on a bed of Farro and Beets with fresh salads and a nice bottle of Chateau Neuf du Pape, followed by crème caramel, rosemary ice cream, and spiced rice pudding. The evening was delightful, but I was just half surprised really as I still vividly remembered the great time we had had when we visited Lara and Cam in Seattle last September. Once more, as we were the last people to leave the restaurant, I left the place feeling inspired from gorgeous food and company. Happy. And on our way home, ideas kept coming. In fact, I already knew that I would get a special request from P. Ten years spent together helps you get to those things right away. You know without asking or saying it.

Knowing you, I expect nothing less, but it's especially lovely to see my city so beautifully chronicled. Next time, though, you'd better let me know that you're coming to town! Dinner is in order...

It was so nice to meet you and I cannot wait for the next time. <br /> Texmex, merci à toi. Si je m'étais écoutée, j'en aurais mis une tartine de plus ;-) <br /> Helene, il faut y revenir, C'est vrai que les espaces sont magnifiques. <br /> Peggy, merci de ton super gentil message. Je suis ravie de savoir que tu as investi dans un SLR, tu vas voir, tu vas t'amuser à faire de superbes choses ! <br /> Vivi, thanks a lot. One of my great friends lives in Champagne-Ardennes, yeah! <br /> Audrey, merci beaucoup. <br /> Mae, I am glad you traveled a bit with this post. Hope work is not too tough! <br /> Lilizen, aahahah, à l'école pour l'anglais ? <br /> Peabody, ah yes I have to go back. So much more I want to do there! <br /> Adèle, merci. <br /> Bonnie, thanks. <br /> Jenjen, ah yes I loved the goats too. I have always been like that with them, even as a little kid, when I use to hug them and kiss them. <br /> Gattina, I could have added more, but thought,"mmm, isn't it too much?":-) <br /> Anne, ah oui, beautiful there. <br /> Christine, thanks. <br /> Gracianne, merci. Ravie que cela te plait. <br /> Lucy, I know the feeling, I feel homesick when I see your French pics ;-) <br /> Beah, merci. <br /> Kat, she was indeed. <br /> Jeff, good for you. A nice place to be. <br /> Riana, thank you! I am just lucky ;-) <br /> Melissa, ah yes such a nice place and I long to see more! I already tackled the cookbook yesterday ;-) so I will surely let you know. Many breads take a long time initially, but I cannot wait to start the process. <br /> Shauna, ah if only I had known you were around. Hopefully next time, I would love to meet up with you! <br /> Anne, I also want to go to Vancouver. We did not have enough time, but think about another trip, already. <br /> Dianka, thank you. <br /> Catherine, it was great indeed. <br /> Pengloble, merci <br /> Gamelle ;-) <br /> Anita, I am glad you enjoyed the pics. <br /> Betty, are you from there? Nice! How could forget the place? So pretty. <br /> Astrid, merci Thanks L. It was so nice to meet you and I cannot wait for the next time.
