I'd vouch for it too. One of the best French restaurants in London, albeit run by a brit. Great review - try the steak tartare next time you go. Immaculately cooked and actually delicious, but got the cold sweats and had to leave half Am usually able to demolish anything.
But I hear you brother. Fiona - Thanks. You're the second person to recommend the steak tartare to me.
I think I'll certainly go for that next time and not the Luke - How bizzare that you had the exact same brain eating experience. I can get my head around eating most things, nibble on a crunchy pigs ear no problem and even tried some throat sweetbreads but brain? And a whole plate of brain, nope, I couldn't do it. Think in some ways fine dining has become a bit of a game of dare where you feel you should order something that's naturally a bit repulsive or be made to feel like a foodie wuss.
We have a local cheese that is full of little live jumping worms in Italy, apparently delicious but I'd even take a plate of brains over that one. Saying that, by stepping out you comfort zone you could find something you really like. Mmmmmm, wormy cheese! Rest of the meal looks rather lovely though. I'm a sucker for a bit of nice packaging too and would have definitely spent a few moments marvelling at the butter!
Graphic Foodie - I think you're right Fran, it is almost a dare to try this stuff. But then, as I've got older there's been so much ordinary stuff that I grew up actively disliking and that I now love, I feel that I have to give everything a go at least once.
