Oh, those Truffle Parmesan Fries!

We need to be reminded, in the constant hype over new openings, to return to what is and has remained great through the years. Mission Beach Cafe, aka MBC, a welcoming corner restaurant many go to for brunch or incredible baked goods and Blue Bottle coffee in the morning, has maintained a rare level of quality through a handful of chef changes.

Seductive Tea-smoked Albacore topped w/ Quail Egg & Caviar

I am amazed at how delicious dinners here remain: from chef Thomas Martinez (see my 2009 review) to heartwarming Pot Pie Tuesdays. For about six months, they’ve had a new chef, Trevor Ogden, who most recently worked at Umami, at the now defunct Frisson and with Stephanie Izzard in Chicago. Though young, like former Chef Martinez, there’s inventive maturity in Ogden’s cooking.

A recent visit yielded literally one pleasurable dish after the other:

- MBC has thankfully kept their killer Flatbread of the Day ($14) on the menu. Ogden prepared ours with a goat gouda infused with hops (yes, you heard right), layered with crisp corn, caramelized ramps, chicken and two pepper purees (red pepper and padron).

Flatbread of Goat Gouda infused w/ hops

- One of the stand-outs in a stand-out meal, is Tea-smoked Albacore Tuna ($14) topped with quail eggs, caviar, chili creme fraiche and dotted with crispy lemon-saffron risotto. A visual work of art and a lightly seductive pleasure to the palate.

Smoked/grilled Hodo Tofu w/ veggies, fruit, forbidden black rice, strawberry/rhubarb glaze

- Mixed Baby Lettuces ($10) are shaped into bowl cupping mounds of avocado, red spring onions, toybox tomatoes, herbed tofu and walnuts in a creamy cabernet vinaigrette.

- I’m so not a vegetarian, but one of two vegetarian entrees was a favorite of mine: Smoked/Grilled Hodo Tofu ($17) is in good company with zucchini, toybox summer squash, eggplant, grilled corn and forbidden black rice. A little sweet comes in the form of strawberries and strawberry rhubarb glaze.

Pork Tenderloin in brown butter & white peach jus

- Organic Pork Tenderloin ($23) is comforting with roasted German butterball potatoes, cipollini onions, baby carrots and sugar snap peas. But when it’s cooked in rosemary brown butter and drizzled with white peach pork jus, it’s downright luxurious.

- Pan-seared Branzino ($25) arrives stacked over shaved fennel, summer squash and pea tendrils. The fish is delicate but the skin adds crisp and saltiness. Most addictive is the Vidalia onion/Yukon gold soubise and tomato-lemon verbena broth accenting the dish.

Banana Butterscotch Cream Pie

- Those Truffle Fries resting under shaved Parmesan ($5) are as fabulous as they ever were.

- Alan Carter holds the crown of pastry chef extraordinaire and his pies ($6.50-7 a slice) are still mama’s home cooking and a long-awaited holiday rolled into one. It’s like coming home to his Banana Butterscotch Cream or Chocolate Pecan Pies, but I was especially entranced with my beloved rhubarb (thank you, Summer!) in his Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.

I am happy to (continue) to say, do not forget to return to Mission Beach Cafe.
