Beer, duck confit pizza and a cupcake
For lunch, a few friends and I went to a new restaurant in Alexandria, Rustico, which has gotten good word-of-mouth review. After reading a review on a favorite blog, I decided that I must go. Anyway, I was afraid that with the insanity of Easter brunching, the place would be mobbed, but instead, found it quiet and peaceful with excellent service, and outstanding food.
I had their pizza (wood fired) with duck confit, brie and arucola, but started with their daily soup, which was a light cream of asparagus with white truffle creme fraiche. Yummy! This went surprising well with the beer I had, an Allagash Triple. Did I mention they have 30 beer taps, and 250+ bottles? Yum!
Afterwards, we walked across the street to a sister bakery, Buzz, where I partook of an outstanding cupcake while relaxing on a comfortable sofa. Overall, quite grand. Highly recommended.
