Liberty Exchange & Bar - By far is the most impressive restaurant I have tried over the month! Always go there for after work drink, this place is so conveniently located near IFC (and is always populated by the ‘banking crowds’). This is the first time I tried their restaurant and I am indeed very very impressed!I was there for a big birthday party on a weekend, having taking over the whole second floor (3 long tables with 50 people) means the joy of trying almost everything on the menu.The ban
I was there for a big birthday party on a weekend, having taking over the whole second floor (3 long tables with 50 people) means the joy of trying almost everything on the menu.
The banquet starts with 3 different snacks to share (all were very decent in size). The “truffle fries” and “Mac and cheese” are executed very nicely (especially considering a big group order). Truffle fries are thinly crusted crispy fries infuse in earthy truffle oil and parmesan cheese, leaving the palate with a strong smoky after-taste;
Macaroni and cheese is cheesy and creamy and the noodles are still al dente!
Bikini is not bad but does not stand out as much as the other two (and also perhaps Catalunya has set such a high standard).
Moving on to the real menu:The starters “tuna tartare pair with the thin pizza” is an artwork in both the look and taste”. I love the creativity of this dish, the tuna fish is very well marinated, the extra rice cracker and shallot on the top brings layers to the texture and goes really well with the warm thin pizza bread, ………….. I love this dish and would definitely come back for more (Note: I did come back another time for weekday lunch, but this dish was only offered for dinner menu)
For the main, I had salmon. (Salmon could be a risky dish to order in a restaurant because it is easily overcooked and a dry salmon tastes). This place did not disappointment me – pink juicy inside and , the it’s light and
I tried some beef burgers off friend’s plate, it is juicy, (definitely better than a lot of other beef burgers places).
By the time now, we are all pretty full, and I only wanted to take one bite of the dessert – but the moment I tasted it, it’s gone (The sea salt on the side goes so well with the caramel ice cream sandwich) – I love this dessert!
