Malmaison Brasserie
With it being valentines day I thought I would treat my fiancée to a bouquet of flowers and a nice meal out. I had heard that the brasserie at Malmaison was putting on special valentines pixe fixe including a cocktail from the bar list for £45.
Keeping with the theme of valentines each course contained one choice which was available to share.
When we arrived we were told our table was ready but was asked if would like a drink in the bar first, as we were both hungry we opted to be seated, with our drinks order taken and offered fresh bread with served with butter and tapenade while we perused the menu.
To start we chose the lobster macaroni, baby spinach and Riesling sabayon to share. It served swiftly on a wooden board between us for us to potion on to our individual plates. The lobster macaroni was served in a hollowed out French baguette. The dish was luxurious and comforting although I didn't particularly like the texture of the bread with the sabayon sauce. For main course we sat eagerly awaiting the fillet of dry aged beef, smoked pommes puree and glazed shallots served with seasonal veg (crushed sweed and boiled new potatoes). We weren't disappointed the beef was cooked medium rare as requested and was so tender. The smoked pommes puree was the surprise on the plate, lovely smoky taste, I'm going to have to try and recreate them at home. The jus complimented the whole dish and the veg cooked just to my liking. For dessert we selected the valrhona chocolate fondant and pistachio ice cream. We told it would be 15 mins as it was cooked to order, this was fine as we wanted time to chat and let the first two courses settle. The fondant was served and was umptiously gooey inside, the ice cream was nice but the chocolate over powered the flavour of the pistachio.
The meal was lovely the staff very attentive. Although the bill for the two of us came to £108 including drinks, we do recommend you go and try it out for yourselves. They strive to keep there produce local which is shown in their cooking, lovely fresh flavours. They often run special promotions the current one I noticed was two courses, a bottle of wine and coffee for two people for £30. Well worth a visit.
