Butterfly

My hubby and I celebrated our 6th anniversary at Papillon in Fremont last weekend. Our wedding date falls just a day after our first date ever. We ran around San Francisco, hunting for bizarre items in a thrift store scavenger hunt 11 years ago. We ended the night at Ghirardelli Square, holding hands and walking by the beach.

I’m happy that we found a sweet, romantic spot in Fremont to celebrate our relationship.
Tomato Puree Soup

I ordered the tomato puree soup and our server left an adorable message inside the bowl. Our server was so friendly and attentive. It felt like he wanted to make sure this night was special for us.

Escargots
After we finished pulling out the tender meat from the escargots shells, I made sure we had extra French bread to sop up the garlic butter sauce.

Duck Pate
We also shared a plate of duck pate.

Sole Dover
One of the specials for the evening was the sole dover served with a creamy butter sauce. It was a classic, savory presentation for the fresh fish and I thought it was quite tasty.

Beef Wellington
My hubby ordered the beef wellington, medium rare. It came out well done. It was yummy, but please don’t promise “medium rare” on meat dishes if you can’t execute it.

Anniversary Dinner at Papillon
We ended the meal with port, orange muscat and a Grand Mariner soufflé. It was a lovely ending to our anniversary dinner.
