Glasgow has two ⭐️ Michelin restaurants, and I was super impressed with the Chefs table experience @unalomebygc last night .

Contemporary food with a backbone of French sauces, all well crafted , and service from FOH and the chefs was terrific .

Cured Royal bream , avocado , horseradish , sorrel and sea lettuce sauce started off the 9 course meal , this was vibrant and acidic and matched with a terrific finger lakes Riesling , a buzzy first dish that hit the mark

Scarlet prawn - raw and in kataifi pastry , with Isle of Wight tomatoes , dashi custard, prawn consommé
was a good transition towards heavier dishes , the consommé and fried pastry is well matched .

Chargrilled Langoustine with
Miso Hollandaise - Buckwheat - Egg Yolk- the caramelised Miso and buckwheat crisp really tie this dish together , echoing the char on the langoustine .

Roasted Veal Sweetbread , Asparagus
Girolles - Walnut - Vin Juane

This one is a certified banger , beautifully cooked sweetbread , absolutely luscious sauce , matched with a quality aged sherry , this dish is a core memory .

John Dory is topped with a light scallop and crab curried mousse , Fennel - Green Asparagus - Brown Butter. Not a show stopper but a nice balanced plate .

Saddle of roe deer , Beetroot - Raspberry - Confit Potato, sauce bordelaise . Found the raspberry ketchup overly sweet and powerful but the Sauce bordelaise was terrific .

An excellent primarily British cheese board followed, had a terrific salty goat cheese , a blue made by the bass guitarist from Blur , and a cheddar made from the milk of only 4 cows .

Strawberry mousse , rhubarb and rose parfait was light and bright .

As was the Lime parfait and pistachio-
Oakchurch Farm Raspberries - Mint finale , however both desserts were plated similarly and shared many textures making it hard for them to stand out .
