Brasserie du Soleil

After 2 months we finally were able to go out for a romantic dinner, thanks to Katy babysitting Lucy. We ventured out to the Brasserie du Soleil at Lumina Station. Andrew enjoyed the plat du jour which was beef short ribs braised in red wine with mushrooms and polenta. Saying that he had ribs doesn't do the meal justice as the ribs had been stewed for 8 hours, the meat removed then formed into a roast, and then baked again for another hour. It was extremely soft and succulent. I had the bouillabaise (shrimps, scallops, mussels, calamari and flounder in a lobster saffron broth) The desserts were 'minis' ie served in shot glasses. This is great because we could choose 5 different sweet items to share -kind of like a tasting plate but you get to choose what you want on it. The tira misu and berry panna cotta were excellent. We will definitely be coming back soon. And they are open for lunch too... mmmm crepes.
