Which restaurant in Boston area has both foie gras and black/white truffles

My wife wants to try both of them. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

    When we were in Clio in mid-November, they were offering a special truffle menu. I really was tempted by the truffle risotto(but we were not eating dinner, so didn't order it). you might want to check if they still have it. fresh truffles are seasonal, and November is usually the right time for the black ones.

    I'm not certain, but I believe Clio also had foie gras.

      I've had wonderful foie gras at Journeyman and O Ya.

        I cannot report on current menus but some of the most likely places are:

        O Ya - Japanese and fusion; VERY expensive

        Clio - Japanese and fusion, elegant, expensive.

        Craigie on Main- Cambr., famous for creative snout to tail, but seafood too. V expensive.

        Erbaluce - Piedmontese

        Neptune Oyster incl lunch- No.End, trad and v creative food; almost always a line, and no reservations

        No.9 Park

        Menton

        Deuxave

        Mistral

        Aquitaine

        Scampo

        Bina

        Rialto

          great list though i think that clio is more expensive than craigie though i think that both are worth the price. I cannot remember foie gras or truffles on the craigie menu.
