Resobox is a Japanese art gallery (that also offers cultural classes, including judo & ink-painting) and cafe. I've been thoroughly against eating/enjoying Japanese food for pretty much my entire life (I've never found anything I've ever liked before), but all that has changed now because I ate this.
The spicy tuna roll.
I don't know how to explain how it happened, but I ordered it on a whim and I'll never not order it from here on in. And the restaurant itself is so quiet and perfect and the best place for lunch, especially, if you're anywhere near Queensboro Plaza and you're hungry. Go!
I have a new favourite dish and that dish is bœuf bourguignon. If you know how to make this... maybe let me know. I just ate it for the first time at Tournesol in Long Island City in Queens (thanks to the lovely Angela for suggesting we go) and it was transcendent. I promise you. This place is extremely French, lovely and better than any place you frequent so GO RIGHT NOW. And you know how I knew this place would be good? Two reasons.
- The free bread at the beginning of the meal was fresh as hell.
- They gave you BUTTER instead of olive oil with the bread. I can't stand it when olive oil is the only thing accompanying a bread basket. Hate this so much. I don't care how Parisian that is, give me some damn butter. And they do here.
I can't wait to go again. This dish is phenomenal.
(Sidenote: Don't forget about the Movie Wardrobe Sale happening tomorrow (Saturday) in Toronto!)
