Mum is on a special trip this evening with Dadcat to take hoobro to his first #MichelinStar ⭐️⭐️ restaurant! They’re off to Minibar, a wonderful @chefjoseandres restaurant in DC. We’ll donate to wck.org also! 🐾💙🐾
Here we go! It’s a long taxi ride via Uber to a delightfully unassuming place from out front. ImageImage
Might wanna mute mum if not interested - she took da ipaw!
So pretty inside ImageImage
Kitchen and seating ImageImage
And now we enjoy dinner and will share pics after!
Course 1: Corn and Caviar with bubbly, natch. ❤️

This one was among our very favorites! ❤️
The guacamole topping had a touch of wasabi…genius.

3: Shirako Tempura, matcha and mare beverage pairing
Creamy “cod milk” bite, so interesting! ❤️

4: to drink: Sea Buckhorn Tepache
On the plate: Shima Aji
No idea what any of that means but it was delicious ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar ImageImage
5: this we know and love - Wagyu - and caviar
Served with a ramune drink of pear, cardamom, & peppercorn
Edible nasturtium petals too. Just gorgeous.
So very decadent. ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar ImageImage
6 and 7: Abalone, then Aonori Taco
Fun to watch them assemble. ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar ImageImageImage
8: this one gets a special mention: Unagi Kushiyaki. ❤️
Mum doesn’t like fishy stuff at all. She didn’t know what this was before she ate it, and she loved it. Hey, what kind of meat is this?
Quite shocking to discover it’s eel. 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
#DinnerAtMinibar
9: not quite halfway yet!
Finger towel, anyone? ❤️ add water and it grows!
#DinnerAtMinibar ImageImage
10: let’s drink some Stone Fruit Punch in a skull glass ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar
10: Tofu Toad in the Hole, a birthday boi fav ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar
11: Sesame tart eaten in a single bite
There was some liquid nitrogen magic involved ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar Image
12: Ramen en Papillote
Nori in the bowl, Inoki mushroom caps on the spoon
Surprise! Not ramen but teeny tiny mini mushroom stems ❤️
Fabulous scent as the cellophanes were opened.
#DinnerAtMinibar ImageImage
13: Mum’s favorite course: Waygu Aburi. ❤️
Riesling paired with perfectly cooked thin slices of Waygu
The Aburi looks like an egg yolk but surprise! Beef consommé.
#DinnerAtMinibar Image
14: Full yet? More to come! 🎉
Kumquat mead to drink and Frozen Salad 3.0
Salad is cucumbers and more liquid nitrogen magic!
#DinnerAtMinibar ImageImageImageImage

(Seaweed topped with a sweet cream) ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar Image

Frozen dessert first, it was yummy!

Great combo! ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar ImageImage

Three fun things on one plate: ❤️❤️❤️
Kinako and Cherry (red one)

Tiny one-biter of Coffee and Whiskey yummmmmm ❤️
#DinnerAtMinibar
20: A lovely parting gift to take home, Milkbread ❤️
We had a most wonderful evening and this thread can’t possibly do it justice. We hope you’ve enjoyed a glimpse into highlights from fine dining at this DC gem.
#DinnerAtMinibar Image
And it’s so over the top I had to include it: the bathroom! ❤️
