A bit belated but I have been meaning to mention what a wonderful birthday weekend I had. Once again my lovely husband planned an indulgent treat for us both. We started with a picnic brunch and champagne at home, before setting off for London on the train (first class of course).
We then arrived at the Stafford Hotel which was a charming, classic and stylish building. Later on I was taken to my first Michelin Star restaurant: Roussillon (in Pimlico) where we embarked upon an eight course journey of extravagance. The menu consisted of:
Parsley & Parmesan Royale
Light Pumpkin Veloute
Wild Mushroom Vol Au Vent
Ricotta Gnocchi, Leek Jus
The Priory Bay Umami Egg
Wild Seaweed, Capers, Shallots Garlic, Lemon & Light Soy Sauce
Crunchy and tender warm salad
Walnut, Apple, and Celery Watercress Dressing
Autumn Vegetables & Roots Cooked Together in a Pot
Reduced Balsamic Vinegar & Truffle Dressing
Osso Iraty From Pays
Basque Cherry Compote & Walnut Bread
Pineapple and Lime Ravioli
Lime Sorbet
Williams Pear Souffle
Pear Veloute a Warm Madeline
(wines to accompany and complement each meal)
It was a throughly delightful experience (and very expensive) but I still think Morgan M has the edge.
