| - Ate a dog's breakfast at this restaurant. Literally -- my meal was comprised of various parts of various animals. That being said, if this is what a dog's breakfast is like, I would happily go into a canine training program.
The sous vide cote de boeuf was an absolute pleasure. I would recommend it to meat eaters without hesitation, and possibly even to vegetable eaters. Cooked sous vide, then seared to make a seasoned crust on the outside, served with two bones of marrow and two side dishes. Sides of cabbage and sausage, and fregola pasta were good, but compared to a lovely piece of dry aged, medium rare beef, they were just accompaniments.
The pig's ear salad to start was good, not excellent, but the house-made charcuterie was a hit. Salty, fatty, melt-in-your-mouth, spicy, sour, rich, all served with no-knead bread. I could have piled every combination onto the toasted bread for the whole evening.
Two desserts on offer. An ice cream sandwich and a chocolate budino. Ice cream in the ice cream sandwich was creamy, lovely, flavourful, but the cookie was just okay. Budino had a very deep flavour, and was set off perfectly with salted caramel.
Hospitable and attentive service, neat meat locker at the front, and a warm, meat-centric atmosphere. Return visit ahead.
