Having walked past La Marmite on many occasions I have wondered what this classically designed and welcoming shop front would have to offer.And on this occasion I had to change to sample the food at this restaurant whose name reminds me of that dark brown spread.The item on the starter list aroused the most attention was the foie gras creme brulee which the majority of us ordered.Then for mains I was torn between the 48 hour pork or steak and at the last moment I choose the steak.Fois gras creme
And on this occasion I had to change to sample the food at this restaurant whose name reminds me of that dark brown spread.
The item on the starter list aroused the most attention was the foie gras creme brulee which the majority of us ordered.
Then for mains I was torn between the 48 hour pork or steak and at the last moment I choose the steak.
Fois gras creme brulee: we all looked forward to this Heston Blumenthal style creation, I pushed my fork through the brulee and scooped some of the creme and brulee. The taste was disappointing all round, the was a distinct lack of fois gras flavour. It was just a feintly flavoured egg/milky creme. It felt a chore finishing it off.
Steak and chips: after a disappointing starter I would hope the steak would make up for the poor starter but no, the steak was tough and chewy.
Overall a very disappointing dining experience, my colleague who had the pork said it really did taste like it was cooked for 48 hours as it was very dry and his comment was lets cross this off out list of restaurants to visit. So I won't be visiting again.
