Absinthe Brasserie & Bar is known for many things - its extensive drink offerings, its award winning pastry chef, and of course, its absinthe! However, lesser known is Absinthe's cheese list, which boasts domestic choices from cheesemakers as nearby as California's own Cowgirl Creamery, as well as a variety of imported French cheeses.
Having tried (and loved!) one of the cheeses during a dinner, I dragged my boyfriend back to Absinthe one Friday night with the sole intention of eating lots of cheese. Of course, we ended up having to try the butternut squash soup with mint cream and brioche croutons (amazing) as well.
Each cheese comes with an accompaniment like honeycomb, quince paste or white wine-poached apricots, as well as a plate stacked high with house-made walnut bread.
Best of all, Absinthe serves their cheeses along with a bar menu that offers choices like croque monsieur and parmesan-garlic popcorn until 2am - Enjoy!
