Medlar - Creative, delicious Michelin

This restaurant was rewarded "Restaurant of the year 2013-14" as well as a one star Michelin at the same year. With all honesty, it deserves all the hype. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, cosy, quiet: perfect for a romantic date or special occasion :)

The restaurant

Loved the interior of the restaurant- simple but elegant. The restaurant has two floors with a private dining section available. 

Brilliant customer service with attentive staff that had full knowledge of the menu.

Less talking of rubbish- get straight in to the food!

Cuisine

*Editor's favourite -Duck egg tart with red wine sauce, turnip purée, lardons and sautéed duck heart 

Speechless! You wont expect what was on that plate! Fried Egg on top of duck breast layered on top of a crunchy freshly made pastry. And when you cut it open, you find seasoned spinach inside as well! Together with the secret sauce it was the most creative and perfect combination that made my taste bud go wild. Truly delicious and I highly recommend this dish!

Crab raviolo with samphire, brown shrimps, fondue of leeks and bisque sauce

If you prefer something lighter and less meat then definitely go for this option. But don't get me wrong. Just because it's a lighter option does not mean the flavour is bland. The dish was full of scrumptious flavours that blends perfect with the crab meat and raviolo.

Duck breast and confit leg with puy lentils, beetroot, mustard fruits and paysanne salad

No other words to describe it. This duck is cooked-to-perfection. Heart of the meat was still red meaning it was JUST cooked. Mixing with buttered kale and saucy lentils, this dish definitely wakes your taste bud!

Under blade fillet with café de paris snail, salad, triple cooked chips and béarnaise 

I am a big fan of escargot. But this time it was more than just that. Slow cooked fillet steak sliced with hand cooked potato chips and salad. Also worth mentioning is the potatoes- golden and crispy on the outside yet soft and moist with the first bite. What more to say but "Bon Appetite"? 

Brown bread ice cream with palmiers and candied orange zest

Ever heard of Bread ice-cream? Interesting combination and surprisingly delightful. Bread was an healthier option of cookie dough yet still full of texture and flavour. Pure Genius!

Mango Millefeuille 

Simply Divine! The pastry was so fresh and scrumptious and blended perfectly with the cream and mango ice-cream. It was not overly sweet which was another plus. It smelt so good that the minute it was brought in front of me my mouth was watering so much I almost dribbled. 10/10.

This is probably a Michelin restaurant with the best value. For £35 we had three courses each. Portions were big compared to other high end restaurants, without neglecting quality, presentation and flavour. (This price applies to lunch and dinner on Sundays only)
