More from San Francisco, last March. Yes amazingly I still have not shown all. This was my dinner, eaten at a small Belgian restaurant in North Beach, La Trappe. I have been there with my wife once before, and enjoyed the size of the massive beer book (which, large though it is, doesn’t have my two favourite bieres belges but has a lot of bloody nice ones). They aint cheap either. The food though is lovely. I am a fan of moules frites (a pot of mussels with Belgian fries, which ironically I didn’t actually eat when I lived in Belgium). On this evening, I chose the Moules Normandes, a tasty dish of mussels heavy with apples. I had the frites of course, which were nice (but not as nice as the ones I used to eat in Charleroi at 3am, drowned in mayonnaise), with two dipping sauces, mayo andalouse and roasted garlic mayo. For drink, I had a Maredsous 8, the brown one. Nice, but not my favourite Maredsous, and I didn’t finish it. Mostly I drank water. Anyway if you are in San Francisco, I can recommend it, and you’ll find it on the corner of Greenwich and Mason, right on Columbus. Oh yes, here is the map…
enjoying your sketches and stories…wonderful as usual but the added maps are a delight!
Thanks Deb! The maps have been helpful when i’m out talking to people, “oh where is that?” “it’s…right here, corner of Greenwich!” Very handy. I want to do more.
Frites. Drowned in mayonnaise. At 3 AM. Awesome.
It really was, believe me. Chez Robert and Chez Raoul, two amazing friteries.
we are off to SF later this year. and other bits of california, yet to be decided. i will be consulting your maps, so I will!
