It was mind blowing, just incredible. I can't stop thinking about how good this combination was. Is there any comparable dish back home in good old NYC? Sun Jan 20 23:09:46 -0800 2008 61255 garriga 1 3316113 The Modern Bar does a great tuna tartare sans foie gras. Also Asia De Cuba's one is great as well-piled on won ton chips. Just also enjoyed a great preparation at Japonais but none that I mentioned had foie gras-neverytheless very good!

Mon Jan 21 06:57:29 -0800 2008 3315930 110996 LeahBaila 1 3316334 I recall having had a very good tuna tartare at The Orchard in the LES. It came with some creme fraische and a sort-of crispy bread that worked really well for me. Mon Jan 21 07:07:35 -0800 2008 3315930 10578 RCC 2 3317480 second the tartare at orchard. Love the smashed fried plantains that they are served with. I'm sure there is a more technical name, but lacking that knowledge, will continue to refer to them as smashed fried plaintains.

Mon Jan 21 08:50:30 -0800 2008 3315930 10173 guttergourmet 2 3894467 They now took the steak tartare off the menu at BLT and I can confirm that the tuna version is superb (though I still prefer the "real" thing). Wed Jul 23 10:26:07 -0700 2008 3316650 10173 guttergourmet 1 3316708 Try the toro tartare at Nobu. No foie gras (they save it for their black cod in miso) but if you're looking for great tuna tartare, you should really try it. Out of a whole omakase dinner I had at Next Door Nobu, the toro tartare was the best. It doesn't necessarily say much, because I didn't find the food to be mind blowing. Except the toro tartare. It was awesome. Mon Jan 21 09:07:59 -0800 2008 3315930 64008 ow77 1 3320540 Thanks for all the great recommendations. I guess I'll have to try and recreate the foie gras version at home. But in the meantime, I'm planning to try as many of these suggestions as possible.

Tue Jan 22 10:33:15 -0800 2008 3315930 121357 kpsquared 1 3320933 Lever House, tuna tartare mixed with salmon roe. Very plain and simple, but mixed with the roe it makes it salty, almost creamy tasting... and AMAZING.
