Enjoyed @restaurant_alliance when I visited in 2022 so was keen to get back , delicate and well executed dishes where vegetables tend to drive the flavour profile .
A pea/creme fraiche and caviar tart got things off to a clean start , peas are on every menu right now and they are terrific .
Langoustine was engulfed with a kohlrabi mousse of terrific structure with strands of shiso leaf .
White asparagus had some very unlikely plate mates but this combination was terrific . Asparagus , almonds , dried apricot and passion fruit sauce . I expected the sauce to be very sweet but it was only just perfumed with passion fruit . Creative and successful dish
John Dory and celeriac are great match , with a little chive and samphire garnish for piquancy.
One of the best Foie Gras dishes that I can remember having followed , foie gras , turnip ,chive and duck broth. Soft and comforting and amazingly light .
A well cooked pigeon breast was simply complimented by cabbage and pigeon jus. Classic
A small cheese board was a nice side step on the way to dessert .
Finally a Croustillant , ganache and sorbet of chocolate wrapped up a lovely meal .
