TURN-ONS We always love Chef Shane Osborn’s modern clean take on European fare. The Final Table finalist has always featured delicious vegetarian dishes on his menu, and he has now added a vegan menu which is as good as his regular one. We started with a refreshing Japanese fruit tomato with baby aubergine, imam bayildi and lemon thyme, followed by the more calming umami flavours of Noirmoutier potatoes and Japanese leeks in a truffle and kombu dashi with buckler sorrel and sea grapes.
Next we tucked into delicious baby artichokes with onions and peas, offset by the black olive crisp with sprinklings of argan oil dressing. It was one of my favourite dishes. For mains, the warm salad of charred cabbage, Japanese corn and broccolini, red pepper and walnut salsa was full of flavour and texture. For dessert, we enjoyed a light summer fruit salad comprising of mainly berries with coconut sorbet on the top.
TURN-OFFS I would have liked to have seen more protein on the vegan menu.
