Dinner at @bratrestaurant @tomos_pp 🔥🥩
-
Been a while since I’ve dined at Brat! Maybe over a year since I was last in here and it’s great to be back. I suppose since the opening of @mountain.restaurant I’ve not felt as much of an urge, but they are quite different in many ways. Lots of new bits on the menu on this visit but still with all the classics. The grilled bread with anchovy amazes me every time I eat it, but this time, it was the grilled bread with onion and spenwood that stole the show. A hearty, rich, nutty cheese and onion grilled bread that was such a pleasure to eat. Light, buttery and airy but with rich caramelised onions and the grated cheese on top. Other highlights from the small plates were the lamb ribs, the fresh chorizo and the langoustines. Must have cleaned 4 portions of the ribs. Two per portion and served with a rich lamb jus. These things were addictive. Utterly tender and rich. Smokey, meaty and perfectly rendered. Each piece with just enough chive to give that nice oniony finish. Ordered the grilled squid rice as middle course but it went so well with the beef. Tomato and red peppers running through it with coils of scored squid scattered throughout. Delicious. For mains, the Angus beef and turbot. The beef was lovely. Well rested with an impeccable crust and cooked to a clean med-rare. Lots of extra beef juson the side for dragging through and soaking the smoked potatoes. The turbot was the tables favourite. One of the best I’ve had from brat. Beautifully cooked - ultra gelatinous and meaty with a tender bite and subtly sweet, creamy flavour. The collar meat was wild. Just an expertly prepared turbot.. really flavoursome. Cleaned to the bone! For dessert.. the olive oil ice cream wins without a doubt here. Such a satisfying texture. Almost chewy and so milky. The basque cheesecake is good but not my favourite in london. A solid dinner #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
