Great place very friendly staff food great
The quad is beautifully set up for dinner, just ten covers for the Maître D’ and his assistant to cope with, which they do with perfection. We start with some clarification, as there’s a starter called marinated prey, obviously I need to know what prey, however this turn out to be carpaccio, so I’m “game” for that anyway! Hubby has lobster pasta for his. They are both delicious, the pasta naturally sweet from caramelised roasted garlic yummy Moving on, hubby’s lamb is billed as “suckling” a term used for young pork, but I can tell it’s just belly, or breast as this cut gets called when used in lamb, it’s excellent, once the excess fat is discarded. Meanwhile I’m on vermin - not exactly, but my pigeon is fabulous, two almost raw (as they should be) breasts, two legs and, the unusual bit, two wings. Normally I’m not a wing-man, but the bicep part (if it were human) is slightly crispy and really tasty. Served on risotto flavoured with cocoa it’s an excellent dish too. We’re on a localish wine, the Md’ beamed when I choose this, indeed it’s so good an extra half is required, which being a different vintage provides a great vertical tasting experience, Puddings were equally incredible, hubby’s chocolate forest - pink (this new natural pink chocolate, also found as a treat in our room) sponge plus a white chocolate ganache. Mine, foam and soap was the translation but I think soap and suds sounds better, was really a fabulous tiramisu! (This is an excerpt from my blog, so a bit more chatty than normal.)
Splendid venue. Good traditional food. Generous with the wine. Paella offered as a main. A pork dish alternative is delicious and recommended.
