May 21, 2011 - Riggs Anniversary Trip
Tami and I were in
Fullers Sugarhouse, in Lancaster, NH and while visiting with the clerk, we asked about a good place to eat in the town. We were told a couple of places but some folks that were in the store shopping told us we should visit Libby's Bistro in Gorham, NH. We had come through Gorham on our way to the B&B so we decided to backtrack and check out Libby's.
When we arrived the place seemed empty but the owner met us at the front door and explained that due to a recent reopening, all reservations were taken for the evening. We didn't know we had to have reservations!! She then explained to us that the SAALT Pub below the Bistro served basically the same menu. Hmmmmmm.......We visited for a few minutes and explained that we didn't frequent bars, pubs or taverns so we would just find someplace else. She then explained that it was not the regular hours at the pub and there shouldn't be anyone there if we wanted to try the menu. I was still skeptical as was Tami but we did check it out. We seated ourselves, were waited on and the food was outstanding!
The specialty was Baked Onion Soup. I had to stop myself from eating the bowl and all! It was a thickened french onion soup in a crock bowl with slices of homemade french bread on the top of the soup, and parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top everything! This was then baked until the top was crusty!! Whooboy!!!
I also had a regular burger which was anything but regular. Tami had a Meatloaf and Blue Cheese sandwich (and we shared the soup). The burger and sandwich were served on a board, which we thought was very neat!!! It was a real pleasant meal and next time we will know to make reservations beforehand!!
