What to order

Safe first

Brown Crab Arancini

Universally praised as an 'easy recommendation' and a 'great, filling start' to the meal.

Hungry

A standout main course described as 'delicious,' served on 'silky buttery pomme purée' with 'outstanding morels.'

Wildcard

Savarin with Gariguette Strawberries and Chartreuse

Wildcard

Anchovies on Crostini

Described as 'exemplary' and a quintessential 'salty fatty bite' dotted with marjoram leaves.

What to skip

Skip
Fresh Spaghetti with SageCritics found this dish 'as memorable as the chorus of Britain’s last Eurovision entry' and generally boring.
Skip
Smoked Trout on Green SpätzleReviewers were 'truly puzzled' by this signature dish, describing the trout as 'very damp' and the spätzle as 'cooked until mushy.'
