My favorite restaurant in Raleigh, Bloomsbury Bistro , has tweaked a few things, and yielded a fantastic result.

First, they did some renovations that included new lighting and paint. The most significant changes took place in the bar where they expanded the space and added several tall tables.

In celebration of the new look, Bloomsbury is offering an incredible 3-course menu at an even more incredible price; $50 per couple. Each person will get their own appetizer, entree, and dessert.

Personally I could throw a dart at the menu and be happy with my meal, however I am looking most forward to the Chicken Normandie: “Breast and thigh of roasted chicken over blue cheese gnocchi and haricots verts with green apples and smoked bacon in creamy cider-rosemary sauce.”

On the appetizer side, both the rabbit crepinette, and the corn and potato chowder look especially enticing. We were recently there and thoroughly enjoyed our dessert, the dark chocolate on chocolate tart with a macadamia nut Florentine cookie and whipped cream.

The menu is only available through the end of November, however.
