Rumor has it, Chef Michael Hall serves
gold on a platter-24 Karat gold. This luxurious
treat comes on his 24 Karat Gold
Beef Tenderloin, which features gold
nuggets on top.
The dish can be found at Hall’s second
southern cuisine venture,
Spoonbread Bistro Deux, which is nestled
in the corner of The Wellesley Shopping
Center in Short Pump.
It’s just as fancy inside as it looks
from outside. The space used to be occupied
by Patina Grill for 20 years but when
Hall got word that it was closing
September 2018, he checked it out and
fell in love.
Spoonbread Bistro Deux features
two dining halls and artwork from staff in
the original Spoonbread Bistro restaurant.
Its dim lighting, smooth music and
vintage portraits make it the perfect setting
to dine.
“The kitchen is bigger here, which
means the menu can be bigger,” Hall
said in a June interview with RVA Mag.
This expansion contains most of the
savory dinners from the original
Spoonbread Bistro with the inclusion of
lunch items and amuse-bouche, or little
treats that make the mouth water (on the
house).
Manager Laura Kitsch said customer
faves are duck breasts, scallops and lamb
rack but encourages everyone to try the
lobsters. Visit spoonbreadbistro.com for
details.
