Ludo NYC
OK, I just got back from a great night out with my wife and some friends. We went to this place in the lower east sided called Ludo. Great ambiance, great food, horrible service. Over all experience was pleasant. I will go back because the food was sooooooooooooooooo good. (Ludo on Menupages)
It's restaurant week here in NY and almost everybody has a $35 pre-fixe menu for you to taste.
This is just another great element that makes NYC the best city in the world. For foodies, it's heaven.
Anywho, if you find yourself near Katz's Deli and not in the mood for the best Pastrami sandwich in the world (unthinkable), walk a few blocks to Ludo. It's located on 1st street between 1st and 2nd Avenue.
**The ambiance was very cool. the bar was on the ground floor and a blue staircase led patrons downstairs to 3 dining rooms. Very New Yorky, very fun.
**The service wasn't much of anything. These waiters were definately first time servers, probably college kids looking to make just enough for beer and burgers. But that's not important. I was there for the food.
**Now onto the food
We had the :
Aps - Red Peppers and Garlic Hummus(10/10), Chicken Falafel(10/10), Beet Salad(9/10)
Entree - Skirt Steak(10/10), Airline Chicken Breast(8/10), Risotto(5/10), BBQ Shrimp(7/10)
Dessert - Fresh Fruit Sorbet(9/10) and Chocolate Beignettes with Passion Fruit Sauce(9/10)
Everything was right on... Food and Drinks came out to $60 a person (tax and tips included)
What a great meal. I'm definately going back again.
