We were each given a piece of sour dough bread with butter. Crispy sides, soft inside.
Friend ordered the red onion tarte fine with asparagus and burata. A tarte fine — literally, “thin tart” — is a classic type of French tart assembled on a flat disk of puff pastry. I tried a bit and liked the mixture of flavors, in particular the blobs of honey sauce.
My main course came- being 2 pieces of decent sized chicken breast, covered in bits of sweet corn and some charred cabbage. On the side were 2 flat quiche-like triangles, which were crispy on the outside. Loved the chicken breast- very tender, went well with the jus gras (translates as "fatty juice"), being the dripping and gravy in the bottom of a roasting tin. Cabbage tasted a bit charred for me tho.
Friend’s main course was the roasted cauliflower with chickpeas, kale and imam bayildi. Imam bayildi is a Turkish dish consisting of whole eggplant stuffed with onion, garlic and tomatoes, and simmered in olive oil. Very wholesome.
For dessert, friend went for the walnut cake with poached pear and ginger icecream. Not a fan of walnut, so didn’t try.
Coffee not included (unless you were willing to swap the dessert in the set for the coffee).
In summary, creative chef- good choice with the combination of ingredients. Well deserved ⭐️ one star. Recommended.
