We've eaten at
Currant twice and enjoyed it both times.
Currant is probably the best part about
The Sofia Hotel.
The space is high-ceilinged and comfortable.
Mr. Monkey had fresh-squeezed orange juice ($3). I got a super cheap mimosa ($3).
For only $8, you can make your mimosa bottomless! A veritable steal!
Chorizo hash and eggs -- two eggs any style, red chili sauce, toast ($8.95).
The hash was made of sweet potatoes and steeped with spicy chorizo. Great spicy start to the day!
Machaca breakfast burrito -- pulled short ribs, jack cheese, scrambled eggs, red chili sauce ($9.95).
Stuffed to the brim with beefy goodness. Definitely no skimping on meat here.
Currant feels very different at night.
Hot bread and butter greet you.
Duck salad ($11.95).
Hazelnuts and strawberries? Yes, please!
Moules frites ($14.95).
Strong rendition of the French classic.
Duck linguine ($18.95).
Ample meat, powerful flavors, springy pasta.
Duck cassoulet ($22.95).
Yeah, we love duck. This was my fave dish of the night.
Chevre cheesecake -- goat cheese, granola crust, raspberry coulis, fresh seasonal berries ($8.95).
Creamy and strong. Don't get this if you don't love goat cheese.
Currant is a modern French bistro with American warmth and hospitality that's worth visiting.
i don't really love goat cheese, but i'd probably try that cheesecake anyway.
