The Balthazar Restaurant

Hello everybody, I am back...In this post I am gonna talk about this great restaurant located in Downtown New York. It's a French restaurant, really known in New York with a lot of great options on their menu. It is  a restaurant very sought  for Americans and visitors so I would suggest you to make a reservation in advance, because as I mentioned before the restaurant is very busy. I went there with my Uncles last December, and they had made the reservation with one month in advance.
The restaurant is very cozy and we were very well attended  by a French waitress, very caring that helped us choosing our dishes among the regular menu. Balthazar also offers a raw seafood bar, where you can pick up your own fresh seafood. Speaking of wines they have an expensive menu with a lot of varieties for you to choose.



As my main dish a had a Duck Confit a great choice, if you are looking for something tasty and light. If you don't like French restaurants because the dishes are not well served, this is not a problem at Balthazar, the dishes are well served by a French restaurant and you will fell satisfied. As desert we had a great profiteroles with ice cream and as usual after desert a good double espresso.
Speaking of price, the restaurant is not that cheap however it's worth it, if you are not that into wine the check will be way more affordable. By the end of our dinner, we met Brook Shields she was having dinner at Balthazar with a friend and we took a cab right behind her.
Well, summarizing I had a great time and I cool surprise by the end of the night, for sure this is one of the restaurants you have to go if you come to New York.
