Start with

Spring vegetable fritters, isot chilli yoghurt & preserved lemon

Fabulous brittle, crunchy batter...strips of preserved lemon provide both tart acidity and salty tanginess and a dollop of yoghurt topped with a dusting of isot chilli provides a lick of smoky spiciness. Reviewer was 'grateful' for the waiter's suggestion.

Well-backed by reviews and repeat mentions.
