Our Thoughts

I (Maggie) decided to try this food studio on a recent trip. The line was not too long, and I really wanted to try the Beef Wellington. The Beef Wellington comes with Mushroom Duxelles, Prosciutto and Puff Pastry with Red Wine Demi-Glace and Baby Vegetables.

The portion size is just right. It isn’t too overwhelming and it’s just the right portion size. The beef was cooked to what seemed like medium-rare, which is just perfect for myself. However, if you prefer your meat to be cooked more, this might not be the best dish for you.

I really enjoyed the puff pastry and the Red Wine Demi-Glace was a nice addition. While I did not order the Roasted Mussels, I could tell that they looked fresh and it was definitely a popular item at the booth. With the dishes both priced pretty reasonably at $8.50 (Beef Wellington) and $7.50 (Mussels), this is also one of the less expensive studios at the festival.
