Thanksgiving Dinner at Lele

For Thanksgiving, Inna decided against cooking and instead selected the nearby Lele Kitchen restaurant for the main dinner. She made reservations for Thursday, November 27, at 16:00.

We ordered the Thanksgiving "Trust the Chef 7-Course Menu" as follows:

• Bread (freshly baked from a 38-year-old starter)
• Pie Tees x2 (Boris, Inna)
• Oysters x1 (Alex)
• Chestnut Soup x3
• Trout Draniki x2 (Boris, Alex)
• Mushroom Draniki x1 (Inna)
• Diestel Turkey x2 (Boris, Alex)
• Scallops x1 (Inna)
• Pear Cake x3
• Apple Cider x3

The meal started out with the delicious Pie Tees and Oysters (along with a tiny sample of freshly baked bread). The Pie Tees were unique and tasty (though a bit small).

We continued on to Chestnut Soup. It was delicious.

After soup, we sampled Trout and Mushroom Draniki.

For the main meal, Alex and I ordered "Diestel Turkey" - a more traditional Thanksgiving entree. Inna selected scallops. The turkey was perfectly cooked and delicious.

For dessert, we each ate a chocolate pear.

The overall dinner was excellent (though costly).
