Brasserie CiÇou, San Juan

I celebrated my birthday with my family at Brasserie CiÇou.

I always reserve seats when I plan celebrations for my birthday.

But this place..

 ..has A LOT of seats.

There are seats behind the curtains there..

And seats behind the pillars here..

And there are still seats at the exit.

So anyway, here are what we had.

Shell shaped butter. Ü --

--To go with their complimentary bread.

Mumsy had this.

Bouillabausse P490

Fish, Prawns, Squid, Clams, Baby potatoes, 

Served with..

Croutons, Aioli, Rouille Sauce

They didn't have a name for this dish.

Pan-seared Salmon, Expellette, Wilted Spinach and muchrooms, 

mashed potatoes, Buerre Blanc P490

The mashed potato was so creamy!

Ahya had this. 

Onglet Poëlé P590

Pan-seared US Hanging Beef Tender, Home-made Fries, Romaine Salad

Diya arrived late so he had his own bread.

And ordered this.

Puti, M and I went to Cafe Publico last November 28, 2012.

It was nearing the holidays so the place was festive.

We dined on the 2nd floor for a more private feel.

 And so that we can ring this bell.

 First up:

Squash & carrot P155

  

M is a lasagna lover.

 

3-cheese Beef Lasagna P295

And Puti is M's lover

Spicy Tuna Spaghetti in Olive Oil P280

And me, I love shrimps and bacon.

ღ Promenade Shrimp Tarragon Ravioli in Bacon Cream P260

This was good but the taste is too flavorful to finish alone. 
Best if shared.
