Madison, WI is known for the University of Wisconsin and for
being the Capitol of the State. I was
here in June and after asking around I learned the East side of downtown is
where the up and coming new restaurants were opening. Since I am always seeking a unique experience
I was referred to a place called:
“A Pig in a Fur’s Coat”
This is a very small establishment and it is setup with
bench style setting all are around the edge of the restaurant with a large open
table in the center. The design allows
you to have your own seat but really encourages a community table environment.
I started with an amazing appetizer: “Rabbit Rillette”. I paired this with a Montelpucliano d’Abuzzo
wine. Both can be enjoyed alone but
together they made the start of the evening incredible.
Next, I went for grilled Octopus and Mussels. Many wine choices to match with this dish but
after careful consideration I chose a French Rose from Provence. After tasting both together I was very
pleased with the paring. Since the
octopus was grilled the hint of strawberries was a perfect accompaniment to the
dish.
Please visit this hidden little gem if you are in
Madison. You will not be disappointed!!!
