Welcome to the first chapter of Boise’s Best Brussels, where I’ll embark on a flavorful exploration of Boise’s local culinary treasures. My journey began at the renowned Trillium Kitchen + Cocktails, located in the heart of Downtown Boise within the Grove Hotel. Known for its commitment to sustainability and quality, Trillium sources most of its ingredients locally and regionally, making each dish a true celebration of Idaho's rich bounty. Plus, dining there comes with a perk—guests enjoy three free hours of valet or self-parking, ensuring a stress-free dining experience.
I had the pleasure of dining with my friend Lila, and together, we savored a diverse selection of dishes that showcased Trillium's culinary artistry. Here’s what made it to our table:
Szechwan Cauliflower Starter: This dish was bold and vibrant, with crispy cauliflower florets bathed in a tangy Szechwan glaze that delivered just the right amount of heat. A testament to how Trillium turns vegetables into unforgettable masterpieces.
Crispy Brussel Sprouts Starter: The namesake of this blog! These brussels were nothing short of phenomenal—caramelized to perfection, with a crispy exterior and an umami-packed flavor profile that left us reaching for more.
Chicken + Waffles Entree: A standout dish where crispy, golden waffles held their structure beautifully against a drizzle of syrup and tender, flavorful fried chicken. The texture contrast was perfect—crunchy yet fluffy inside. As an added twist, Trillium pairs this dish with a scoop of lavender ice cream, offering a delightful touch of floral sweetness that elevated the entire experience.
Each bite felt like a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship, showcasing Trillium’s dedication to culinary excellence. Whether you’re craving comfort classics or inventive starters, this gem in Downtown Boise offers a harmonious balance between indulgence and sophistication.
Stay tuned as I continue exploring Boise’s best offerings, from hidden gems to time-honored local favorites. If you’re in search of dishes that excite your palate and make your heart sing, Trillium Kitchen + Cocktails is undoubtedly the place to start.
