For Jennifer's BD, we first had a low key dinner where we tried some US farmed caviar I had bought some time ago (note caviar means sturgeon eggs, any other fish eggs is NOT caviar).

To be honest, we weren't overly impressed with it. While I had gotten the premium farmed caviar, Oeufs de lompe which can be had for $5 a container had more taste IMO.

Sunday, we went to Mansera for a nice tasting menu meal (7 courses plus desert) with premium wine pairing.

The bathroom had some nice menus the restaurant's chef gathered in top European Resatuarants:

It was a good dinner, although a bit slower than expected (4H). Manresa's slight shortcomings in my opinion were that the chef's tasting menu is just whatever he decides to do that day, and you can't know before getting the plates. It's also more expensive compared to other similar restaurants with good tasting menus (although it offers a few more smaller dishes).

All that said, we did have a good dinner, and Jennifer was happy, so that's what matters :)
