点评:This lovely restaurant was a fabulous surprise! We are staying nearby, in Plomodiern, and decided to try it - and we were thrilled with our experience!!
We had the smoked trout appetizer and the "gazpacho" (really, a fresh pea, mint and feta cold soup) to start, both of which were other level. The soup was so good I asked the chef for the recipe, which he graciously shared so I can now try to replicate at home. The main courses were a fresher-than-fresh hake for me and filet mignon for my honey, and again, really top quality. Desserts were also yummy - rice pudding for him and a red-fruit sorbet for me.
What impressed me almost as much as the quality of the food was the price point, which was beyond reasonable. (I saw a comment or two suggesting the prices here are high - not so!! A comparable meal in the US would be twice the price). The wine was tasty and we appreciated management's decision not to apply the typical ridiculous mark-up to the price.
Finally and equal in importance to the high quality of the food - the team is superb. The chef, Fabian, is as kind as he is talented; his co-owner, Theo, is a delightful and generous individual, and Jean, our server, was professional and attentive, as well as a font of knowledge of this beautiful area they all call home.
We look forward to this restaurant getting all of the positive attention it deserves. Thanks for a really fabulous evening; can't wait to return!
翻译:这家可爱的餐厅真是个意外的惊喜!我们住在附近的普洛莫迪恩(Plomodiern),决定去尝试一下——结果体验棒极了!!
我们点了烟熏鳟鱼开胃菜和“西班牙冷汤”(其实是一道用新鲜豌豆、薄荷和羊乳酪制成的冷汤),两道菜都堪称一流。汤的味道好极了,我向厨师要了菜谱,他慷慨地分享了食谱,让我现在可以在家尝试一下了。主菜是一份超级新鲜的鳕鱼,我的爱人点了菲力牛排,同样是顶级品质。甜点也很美味——他点了米布丁,我点了红果冰沙。
除了食物的质量,几乎同样让我印象深刻的是价格,非常合理。(我看到一两条评论说这里的价格很高——其实不然!!在美国,同样的餐点价格要翻倍)。葡萄酒味道鲜美,我们很欣赏管理层没有像往常一样抬高价格。
最后,与高品质的菜肴同等重要的是——团队的卓越。主厨Fabian热情友好,才华横溢;他的合伙人Theo热情友好,慷慨大方;我们的服务员Jean专业周到,对这片他们称之为家的美丽土地了如指掌。
我们期待这家餐厅获得应有的好评。感谢你们为我们带来的美好夜晚;迫不及待地想再来!
