Lunch @ Les Boucheries Parisiennes

It's been a while since we last ate here and there's a new menu. As Paalo likes to make as few decisions as possible on his days off, we put the decision making and trust in the capable hands of Chef Paul.

First Course:


Beef Tartare with Quail Egg, garlic croutons and balsamic reduction

We enjoyed a sneak taste of this a little while back so we're really happy to see it has made it onto the new menu.

Second course:


Caramelised Scallop, Potato Blini, Mushroom Duxelle, Horseradish Foam

I do wax lyrical over the scallops and these are as good as the others I've had before but the combination of potato blini, mushrooms and horseradish raise them to another level.

Main course:


Lamb Loin on Savoy Cabbage & Bacon Salad, Minted Gnocchi and Sultana Jus

the minted gnocchi are a very clever way of introducing mint into the dish, the smokey bacon and cabbage is delightful, quickly cooked so there's still some crunch.




Onto desserts:


Coconut Pannacotta, Pineapple Carpaccio, Almond Biscotti



Assiette of:



Passionfruit Jelly

Strawberry Donuts

Caramelised Pear Creme Brulee
