Tate Dining Room &Bar . The treasure spot in the border area . Food that can induce your desire , reflection and harmony . Your food trip will get started with their fix menu , only provide two sets in 6 course s or 9 courses that 's actually is very sophisticated with charming evocative names !
All ingredients are fresh and vibrant , with a nice mix of French and Japanese essentials , successfully bring out the food nature potential . And of coz their cuisine is a big success with the conscientious food selection , tend to pick the brightest food talents for each role .
The breadbasket provides two kinds of bread, soft bun and hard sliced loaf . Both are simple but tastes incredible good ! This is just out of my expectation . The bun is in a very soft flaky texture , sightly different tastes from the normal bun , itself is more buttery and creamy , I think is due to the fermentation and yeast since it's homemade. The hard loaf filled up with walnut and pie nuts , add a crunchy texture and more aromatic , goes well with the spreadable butter , not too salty but with strong wheat foundation .
Welcome snacks are another big surprise ! It's more like an art piece with it's array and designs . The one in the left hand side , it's pumpkin ice cream with bacon . Tastes very refreshing , the cream is not really dense in pumpkin flavor , but match well with the salty bacon , overall the texture is very creamy . The middle one which look like a piece of leaf is a crispy thin crust . I don't really remember what's the actual , but it tastes sightly salty . The two sticks near the flower is Black squid ink grissini ! A very creative invention ,not only interesting , but extremely crunchy and tastes a bit smoky .
Ode To Tomatoes
This is the starter . Two kinds of tomato is offer in one plate. Datterino tomato are very fresh and juicy . As the base , is the beefsteak tomato , this is more like jelly and not in that strong tomato flavors . Bacon cream and pommery mustard ice cream on the sides , a very fusion mixture . The bacon cream add a hint of smoky sense and saltiness to the tomato . Pommery mustard ice cream is very refreshing and its cool temptation balanced the whole dish .
Shrimp Cocktail
Shrimp cocktail overall tastes light , shrimp consume is hot enough , stomach warming after your first scoop . Caviar , Japanese chive and celery leaf are sprinkles on top of the red prawn , urge a more complex flavor but still keep it 's distinctive texture. Red prawn is soft in small size and taste excellent . But I think the overall portion is too small, at least should add in more consume to the whole dish. No doubt the dish will have obvious improvement and enhance it tastes with more consume.
Smoked Eel Foie Gras
What a Culinary delicacies in a lovely arrangement . Classic fine - dining presentation in a golden plate . Foie gras and smoked eel form its own bridge in the center , garnish with passion fruit gel , sake kazu cream and cucumber apple maki . Smoky eel is in very strong smoky aroma , but not really salty , tastes superb with its marination . The foie gras paste blended well to form the paste , creamy and still luscious even though it 's in a cream condition. It match well with the thin crust . Cucumber apple maki are in succulent mouthfuls and fragranced , while the sake kazu cream and passionate fruit gel add a hint of sweetness and refreshment to the dish , surly evaluate the general taste . I appreciate how they marry them with other flavor -able character . A very creative mix , but not over explosive , just perfect and strike the balance .
Chestnut Autumn Earth
Warm chestnut mousse in an exquisite vessel . The mousse is more like soup which is in a very thick texture . The soup stirred well with the wild boar ragout that even give out more fruitful mouthfuls . Fennel confit spread on top , even complex the taste and enhance the texture to be more rich and meticulous. I have no idea how a bowl of soup can create such sophisticated feelings . The tastes seem leave on your tongue boundlessly and immensely . Very wonderful .
Pan Sautéed Frog Leg
Frog leg meat in a pool ! The waiter indicated the frog leg itself tastes light , so then the chef use chicken jus and broth to stew the frog leg . After the long way cookery , frog leg become extremely tender and thoroughly absorbed the chicken best features . The frog leg tastes more like in chicken content . Garnish with celery root puree ,compose them in a poetic scene .All parts match well with the garlic chips and snow pea , add a sparkle and crisp touch to the frog leg . It was a combination of flavors and textures that I would never think to put it together . Successfully create a wonderfully comforting , beautifully presented and definitely a autumnal dish .
Yellow peaches of provence
Poached yellow peach , almond ice cream and peach mousse pair perfectly well , not too sweet but fruity enough. Decorated by honey gelee, put the soul into the art . Overall it's a harmonious gourmet with peach savory to end up the food trip . The beauty of the dish is what they put in , but also what you leave out .
What 's the restaurant created is their food are all in very strong character which the chef seems can play magic in order to create a story . The food travel start up with various edible stories and end up with a good talk . Service are very attentive and waiters get familiar well with the dishes , under every cuisine 's elaboration , definitely expertise . "Do what you love , love what you do .
