We had sussed it out on the morning we went and had asked if we needed to book. The answer was not for two in the week but safer to do in the weekend.
The mistake we made was having a good sized lunch that day. Do not do this when going!
Total of twelve in including ourselves. Very nicely presented table ,cutlery, crockery and glassware.
We opted for the Menu del Dia which is available both at lunch and for dinner, and chose a bottle of the House White, sorry Jane! As a house wine excellent!
A G and T each as we perused and the wine was put in an ice bucket on the other side of the table from me. This was not a problem as we were attended to very carefully and topped up as required.
While waiting you get an appetiser of two little potato balls deep fried, with a hint of fish, then the bread rolls come served with butter curls of three different butters.
As we were later to discover these on top of our lunch was taking up capacity for later!
Choice of two starters and two mains.
Porto-Tagliatelle Four cheeses.Lovely but filling.
Sherry-Chicken and mushroom in a puff pastry.This again was beautiful but not at all vol o vent size more like a main!
Now mains
Porto-Three fried fish pieces set on a base of lyonaisse potatoes ,each piece topped by a folded rasher of very nice back bacon and a small selection of vegetables.
Sherry-Ragout of pork in a creamy mushroom sauce accompanied by sliced boiled potatoes and again a selection of vegetables.
For postre we both had a blancmange set on a biscuit base and with a raspberry or similar sauce.
Wasn't scribbling in to the pad guys sorry!
And all the time your wine and water wonderfully replenished.
Coffee and the hand made chocolates to finish.
Quite yummy!
Ex the tip the bill was only 43 Euros.
Now as I have said and others too who have been support this place. It is a very pleasurable experience.
Many of us will testify to that not least my friend Snowy and his team!:rollin
So do it!:eek
