OT: Dining In The Albany Area

My son, daughter-in-law, wife, and I were in Albany, NY last evening to see Les Misérables at Proctor’s Theater in Schenectady. Prior to the show we ate at Tara Kitchen, a Moroccan restaurant that I can heartily recommend. We sat the bar and all of the food was prepared right in front of us.
Entrees were:
- Fish, shrimp, and scallops in a tomato chermoula
- Lamb, oranges, and cauliflower
- Lamb with chickpeas parsley chermoula and tomato jam
- Shrimp with raisins, spicy harissa, potatoes, and tomatoes
Apps were:
- Spicy Harissa paste with pita
- Olive tapenade
- Warm fig salad
All in all the meal was amazing. Sadly we had to rush a little to make the show.
For breakfast this morning we hit up Iron Gate Cafe, another amazing dining spot. I had what they called the Pyeongchang Bowl which consisted of braised pork shoulder, curry rice, avocado, Brussels sprout slaw, and a poached egg on top. Added some Cholula over the top and I was in heaven.
If you are looking for dining options around Albany, check out Tara Kitchen and Iron Gate Cafe. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
