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 .
