Restaurant Balzac was busily buzzing on a Sunday night, with all of their tables on the ground floor full of customers and most of the tables on the first floor filled. I think it’s a testament to the great food served here by courteous and attentive wait staff.
This particular degustation was a special seasonal degustation that is available only on the last Sunday of each month.

As you may recall in my previous post, F was super bored and picked out 3 restaurants to visit so as to make full use of my Entertainment Card. This was the second restaurant on his list.

We were given what seemed to be A3-sized menus (they were huge!) and spent some time trying to decide which set to order. We found that we couldn’t resist the extra dishes in the Fine Bouche degustation.

The quietly elegant decor of Foveaux hides a place full of surprises and firsts, for us anyway. I never imagined that I would ever eat heart or like black pudding, but I did and even enjoyed it, revelling in its flavours. I really like how Foveaux’s head chef, Darrell Felstead, pushes the boundaries with his dishes, challenging us diners to try something different.

Georges is one of those restaurants who’s menu online has what their physical menu actually offer. So I was pleased that what I had planned could be carried out. I was thinking of sharing 2-3 mezedes plates (kind of like small plates), then a main and naturally a dessert, but somehow after discussing with Gary what he was going to order, we ended up ordering 7 mezedes… and no main for either of us.
