Winter Lunch at Revel

Lunches at Revel in Fremont are always great. The ambiance is easygoing and the Asian fusion food is really really tasty.

I was there last week with a friend and we shared a salad (Corned lamb, mizuna, spicy nuoc cham) and a plate of pasta (Beef, lemongrass and leeks). The portions were just right for us and prices were reasonable.

If you have not been there yet, give it a try.

Same owners/chefs as Joule. read more about Joule.

Joule is a Jewel

You don’t expect a restaurant to have a nice and warm design in a warehouse style building. Joule does. The decor is really stylish and I love the blue and black creative wallpaper.

The Asian fusion and Korean food they serve is creative and flavorful. Dishes are meant to be shared but make sure to save room for dessert.
I would recommend to make a reservation but if you don’t, enjoy the outdoor fire pit with a cocktail or a glass of whatever you like on a nice evening!

Side Notes:
The restaurant adjoins The Whale Wins, which I wrote about a few months ago. To read the article bout Whale wins.
And check out Revel from the same owners/chefs I also wrote twice about: Winter lunch at Revel and Sunny day at Revel.

Sitka and Spruce

This is a place I’m always happy to go to. It’s located in the back of Melrose Market. The dishes are always very fresh and have great flavors. If you love veggies, then this is your place.
I love Sitka & Spruce especially when the weather is nice, because you can sit at the bar along the window. There is no view but you can enjoy the sun! You can also sit at the communal table with a bunch of friends or make friends there!
If you are hungry, remember that salad or veggies portions are not that big.

Cured salmon, daikon, grilled seeds & cultured cream


Today for lunch, I had “Cured salmon, daikon, grilled seeds & cultured cream”. Delicious!
