Happy Anniversary
petit fours

In all the excitement of moving to London we almost forgot about our 9th wedding anniversary. However, a few web searches later and a couple of phone calls and I managed to secure a table for 2 at 6pm for 2 hours on Wednesday 5th July. I decided to try one of the Gordon Ramsay restaurants and see what top notch British food was all about.
We had the 7 course tasting menu which consisted of:
1. Tuna and Swordfish carpaccio
2. Scallops lightly battered
3. Quail
4. Pork Belly and Salmon
5. Lamb with mash
6. Trifle with an apple filled donut on the side
7. Mango sorbet
We also had the Sommeliers selection of mixed wines. 2 whites and 1 red. Lots of french wine - all rather nice.
I was pleased with the quality of the food but disappointed on the flavour front. Robert enjoyed it. I missed the zing and flavour combination of good modern Austalian. I have to say though, the British know how to do dessert.
The picture is of our Petit Fours that came with our tea - the dark chocolate, turkish delight and rhubarb icecream coated in marshmellow.
Note to self - try not to eat so much again for a couple of weeks :-)
