After a great meal at Bar’rique a few months ago, I decided to go back to try it again when I met a friend for dinner.
My friend got the pea soup, which she said was very good.
I had the pork belly appetizer, which as just delicious. The peach sauce on it was a great sweet (but not too sweet) compliment to the fatty pork belly with ta great crisp on top.
I then tried the Skate special. I am a BIG fan of skate, however, too often it is overcooked or not fresh enough and it just doesn’t taste right. I always hesitate for a bit before ordering, but after such positive past experiences here at Bar’rique, I decided to try it.
I’m glad I did. It was perfectly cooked and had that great sweet flavor of skate with a very slight crispness from the breading. It wasn’t over-breaded and it had a slight lemony flavor. It was really fantastic, and even the little side salad was dressed in a delicious vinaigrette.
This place continues to impress, and I look forward to going back again soon!
