Table for one (3/5/19)-
Calves brains, brown butter, capers and parsley. £10
Cod with English spinach and lovage. £22
A bottle of Hugel Pinot Gris 2015. £39
Crème brûlée. £9
Notes-
The brains (akin to silken tofu but much more fulfilling) were beautifully seasoned and memorable.
The mains was probably the best cod I've ever eaten; perfectly cooked and outrageously good.
Pinot Gris is grossly underrated.
Now the last time I had creme brulee was more than 25 years ago, I thought it was too 'room temperature' and asked for a warmer one instead. Pleasant waiter came back from the kitch and remarked, 'But, sir it's normally served a little chilled'. Gawd, I've never been so Wong in my life and hung my head in the proverbial shame.
