Came across this place on social media so we decided to see if the food was good. It's apparently run by a chef-owner Keirin Buck who was previously from Burnt Ends. And I suppose it was also obvious that they wanted that connotation.
We were commended a LongTé by Burdock from Canada. A dry fruity/sour brew that had a hoppy funk. Think sour beer that's almost a cider.
That's cedar jelly toast with shaven foie gras. If you're wondering about the shaven foie gras, it's like having cold butter shaven onto bread. By the time you pop them into your mouth, they're soft and creamy and readily melting away. With flavour from the foie. I liked this though I'm wondering about the cedar jelly which I couldn't identify.
There's spicy beef tendon nuggets on the menu.
Not getting the tendons in those nuggets but there were bits of meat and rice inside. They were average tasting snacks which were not spectacular in any way.
Their beef tongue sandwich with gribiche was pretty good though. Gribiche as I've just learnt is a French mayo/tartare sauce thing made with hard boiled eggs. The brioche was airy and buttery while those thinly shaven tongue were tender and salty. All in a delicious manner of course. Delicious I suppose was the bare minimum I expected for what they charged.
We got ourselves a ham steak which was also really good. The nicely charred slice of ham was tender and fatty and also deliciously salty, accompanied by a refreshing side of tomatoes tossed with basil/olive oil/salt. Came with a squeeze bottle of hot sauce which packed a bit of invigorating heat.
Dessert was a mousse-y chocolate cake with crème anglaise and a sprinkle of warm spices. I liked this. There was a bit of salt going on in the cake that kept the flavour interesting. I was tempted to lick the bowl clean at the end.
