Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Avondale

Three of us dined for my birthday and thoroughly enjoyed sharing 5 of the small plates (which are not small!), each of which was exquisite, unique and delicious.

Loved this place!! Food is all amazing. We got the burger (to die for), the short rib, and the crispy spicy cauliflower. The ambiance is great for groups or a date. I went with one of my girlfriends and it was lively but not so loud I couldn’t hear her. Service was excellent too. All well done, we will definitely be back.

The food was spectacular. Drinks and dessert may still need tinkering. But again, the food we had was better than some Michelin star restaurants I’ve been to. I will be running back for the food. We had the cauliflower salad, octopus, lamb tacos, and salmon and they were all around 9/10 or better. Wow.

Love Boka for a few reasons Food: the best duck in the city and no matter how often we get the duck it feels new and different. Excellent starters and small plates Wine and liquor: a great wine list that has some seriously great finds served with care and a great cocktail list to start or finish your night. Service: consistency is key, we enjoy coming back because there are so many familiar faces which really helps put you at ease with your dinner. The meal is timely and well attended. With a great support staff making sure no need is missed. I don't recall how many times we've been over the years but it always feels special and fresh and fun.

We shared 3 appetizers, 1 dumpling, the pork belly ( main course), and dessert. The portions are large enough that we were full. Ask your server about the food, as Ukrainian combinations and ingredients seem strange, but work beautifully. Rather than have a cocktail, I had an infusion- a shot of vodka or brandy with a fruit or herbal infusion. I still could not bring myself to do the horseradish one!
