The Frenchman's Dough at the Tin Building by Jean-George
Continuing to explore to Tin Building by Jean-George, we decided to try The Frenchman’s Dough, the chef’s French take on an Italian restaurant, serving pasta and pizza, the latter cooked in a wood fire oven that you can see in the back of their open kitchen.

We got their spaghetti cacio e Pepe, and the thick spaghetti that seem more like buccatini were perfectly cooked, al dente, while the sauce was creamy with a perfect amount of pepper.

The pizza was quite good: thick and crispy crust, better eaten with our hands than trying to cut it with a knife (or then you need a better knife), was nicely charred, made with black truffle (I wish there was a bit more), three cheese and a farm egg, making it the perfect brunch pizza.

With it, we got their sodas: the cherry and yuzu soda that Jodi has been getting each time we went to a restaurant at the Tin Building, and a ginger and lime soda for me, preferring a non-alcoholic beverage from their long list of wine, beer and cocktails.

For dessert, we decided to try their almond cake that was topped with whipped cream and served with roasted figs. This was a very good cake, moist, not too sweet, going very well with the figs and whipped cream.

Overall, this was a delicious meal. After the Brasserie and vegetarian restaurants (Seeds & Weeds), this is the third place we try at the Tin Building and we have not been disappointed!
Enjoy (I did)!
