Tasty Thursday: Boulette's Larder

Whenever we go to the Bay area, we make it a point to stop by the Ferry Building to eat brunch at Boulette's Larder.

Boulettes Larder was opened in 2004 by Chef Amaryll Schwertner and business partner, Lori Regis, as a restaurant that also sells its ingredients for use in the home kitchen. Throughout her 30-year career, Chef Schwertner has authored the cuisine in seminal restaurants in the bay area. The daily changing menus at Boulettes Larder reflect her commitment to using conscientiously produced farmstead ingredients and applying her research and curiosity in pursuit of spices and artisan oils, vinegars and grains.

It's a great place to go for breakfast, brunch or lunch. They close the restaurant for private parties in the evenings.

There is seating on the outside as well as inside with a communal kitchen table where you can watch the activities in the kitchen.

Their menu changes daily and is printed in the morning prior to opening.

Their coffee is served in a coffee press and is served with fresh cream and organic cane sugar.

On Sundays, they serve beignets. They were the most delectable and delightful baked creations I've tasted. They were so light, crispy, airy, and slightly sweet. My mouth just waters at the thought of them.
