Then we had a fillet of Atlantic cod grilled & poached in orange butter, served with chorizo & cherry tomato chutney. For the fourth course, mussels, clams, scallops & Parmesan crusted cuttlefish were cooked in a Champagne & herb broth with squid ink gnocchi. Next up was morels scented with coffee, accompanied by braised turnips, and whipped eggs.
