This is my second time to this restaurant and I liked it quite much on my first visit although I've forgotten to take pictures hence didn't write a review on the place. The restaurant attracts you at the entrance with a fancy decoration. I personally find the general mood and decoration to be quite cool. It's like a mixture or fusion of new and old. It's got some very old school stuff such as seats and English hats as decorations but at the same time it's got a lot of mirrors and modern lighting
It's rare to see these old school champagne glasses nowadays
Quite a clean menu that doesn't give you a lot of choices, as much as I liked the food, I did feel that it would be better if there are more varieties.
We ordered a la carte and I started my dinner with a "Braised Turkish Morels, Peas and Wild Garlic on Toast". I personally thought it was delicious and the fried toast was quite a good idea.
And then a nice "Steak Tartare and Wafer Potatoes" that was absolutely delicious. It was very nicely seasoned.
My main dish I ordered a "Roasted Wild Turbot, Grilled Romaine Lettuce, Braised Mushroom and Bois Bourdan". I think it was decent but a bit on the salty side.
Some mashed potato as side.
Finally dessert was Toffee Pudding. Way too sweet!
British food has always had a terrible reputation and has been accused of cooking terrible food so usually I do not have too much expectations from British food. Nevertheless, Gough's delivers a nice twist to traditional British cuisine which makes it a lot more appealing. I'd definitely come again.
Overall quite pleased with the meal, pricing however is probably on the high side given the food that was served.
