Among San Francisco's many Michelin stars, Aster's price is quite close to the people. The 4-course optional menu is $ 59 for a set meal, and of course the price is not expensive. After eating the whole set of menus, I feel that the food of all countries in the world is fused, and there are world food highlights. It is not bragging. The author really questioned several times during the whole meal.

First course

MARKET GREENS, AVOCADO, SEEDS, KUMQUAT, HONEY-LIME

A very refreshing appetizing salad. The vegetables are very fresh and the portion is not small. The taste ... is the taste of the salad. (As a person with deep avocado poisoning, salads with avocados are all good salads. California characteristics-California avocados are so cheap ~)

LOCALHALIBUT, CUCUMBER, PICKLED PLUM, SHISO 

This dish is surprisingly delicious and has a cool Japanese style sashimi. (I feel that California is about to be occupied by sashimi, is it an illusion ?!)

2nd course side dish

SOFT-COOKED EGG, CRISPY POTATO, SALMON ROE, BACON VINAIGRETTE

This dish actually reminded me of the most common tea leaf salad in Burmese restaurants... It tastes like crispy rice with Japanese half-boiled eggs and fish roe.This amazing combination tastes good, but am I really not in an Asian restaurant? ?

POTATO DUMPLINGS, FAVAS, PICKLED MUSHROOM, ARDI-GASNA — 15

I love potato and I love dumpling, so I am biased again. But the chewy texture of potatodumplings (literally translated potato dumplings) really loves the bones. Well, it's like Italian noodles Gnocci.

Main Course

SPICED DUCK, RHUBARB, ENDIVE, BLACKGARLIC

Next, please follow the author to travel to France. Hey, is duck breast a classic of French cuisine? The chef cooked this dish very well, I like it, and the duck breast is so big (I'm sorry for the little citizen) I also like it! The endive is a bit bitter and slightly sour, which combines the oiliness of duck breasts. The sauce next to you ... did you really move directly from Beijing Roast Duck? ?

TROUT, SNAP PEAS, NETTLE, SPRUCE TIPS, BENNE

Greek grilled fish with stir-fried vegetables, finished.

Dessert

FROZEN STRAWBERRY PARFAIT, CABERNET, CHAMOMILE

The strawberry Buffy here is a bit hard, and the jam is not bad.

MILK CHOCOLATE CUSTARD, SORREL, BASIL

Chocolate milk custard with sorrel and basil leaves is another magical match, but delicious! The soft chocolate indentation is topped with a crunchy chocolate crust and a piece of basil leaves ... It turns out that basil and chocolate match so well ~~ I feel like I have found a couple who has been separated for many years ...

other:

Aster's dishes are small in size. I feel that I can just add a set of bread if I'm afraid that I can't eat enough. His handmade sour dough bread is charged separately. It costs 5 yuan.

For drinks, we didn't choose wineparing (plus $ 36) but ordered a glass each. I tried syrah. The taste is too acidic and needs to be paired with food. The pinor recommended by the friends who ordered it is more acidic and slightly less appetizing.

The menu in their home doesn't feel much changed. It can basically be eaten by going to a few more people. However, as a family-friendly small fresh Michelin star that covers the characteristics of various countries, it is still recommended to try it ~
