Porcella Urban Market

Last night I joined several friends for a wine dinner at a new place in Bellevue. Porcella Urban Market is a restaurant/market that focuses on European cuisines and wines. There were only ten people in attendance for the dinner. Some unfortunate couple got stuck at the big table with us. I think they had a good time, though, as we did everything we could to involve them in our group. The food was fresh and delicious. We had an amuse buche that included duck confit on a baguette; melon wrapped prosciutto (YUM!); roasted pork tenderloin with some fresh figs; olive oil infused salmon with a reduced parsley sauce and fig; and for dessert we had a bread and butter pudding with fresh raspberries. Very delicious.

Afterwards we had a post-funct in Clyde Hill. It was really nice to share great food, wine, and conversation with some great people. Hopefully this is something that we may do again in the near future.

If you're in Bellevue (near old Main Street) and are hungry or are looking for something different to make at home, stop by Porcella Urban Market. Don't be surprised if Kelly (the very friendly and skilled owner) is the one that is helping you out!

Cheers!
