A Thursday evening in the sun and catching up with a friend who’s been out of town for too long… along with a bottle of rose, we get a few bites to nibble on.
The Brasserie has a special for cocktail hour nibbles, three for £18.
We went for:
– the Dorset crab in lettuce cups, served with watermelon, avocado, and radish. These were delicate in the lettuce cups, and you could taste the crab quite well
– the fried calamari was good… it was small rings, which are typical over-fried and dry, but these were lightly fried and crispy – with the spicy aioli sauce served on the side, they were very nice
and finally, the heirloom tomatoes and torn burrata (which was not torn as far as I can see). The green tomatoes had a bit of tang to them, but really, it was their freshness that made the dish… you could really taste and smell how fresh they were… and there’s nothing better than a fresh tomato with a little olive oil and cheese!
And did I mention that the rose was pale and dry?
A lovely Thursday evening catch-up on a terrace!
