The Spicy Tuna Tartare can be found at Bijou Cafe in The Gossip’s Lounge– Bar Bites, as well as their full dining menu. The dish is an enticing standout that pairs oh so nicely with one of Bijou’s crafted cocktails. Chef Ryan put his spin on the taste and presentation with an upgraded variation from a past tuna tartare dish, giving it that extra umph that has you coming back for more. The freshly scooped avocado is flavored with a lemon truffle, while sriracha aioli does it’s work to kick it up a few notches. The crispy wontons take place of your fork so you can shamelessly shovel the crunchy goodness in with tender cubes of finely diced raw tuna. The dish is mixed with bold seasonings and garnished with microgreens for a finishing touch. Sharing may not be an option for you once you get as taste, so we give you permission to act a little greedy and order this appetizing nosh item for your solo indulgence.
