The ice cream truffles and truffles were really spectacular. I really wished I could have bought the silver truffles in a box so that I could have taken them home.

We really liked the fact that we could pour our own rum which really helped. We had a Rum Baba at another restaurant in London (story yet to be published) and they poured the rum and it was too strong for me.

It was an amazing experience and I felt so lucky getting to go into the kitchen and have a tour. I spend far too much eating out but I figure that’s my entertainment

I think I really would have loved the tuna and swordfish tartar.. but who am I kidding that olive bread with butter would have even done it for me!

The presentation of the truffles and icecream balls was just brilliant!

I agree the chocolate and lavendar tart looked so beautiful on the plate. I’m a sucker for warmed babka’s..but I would have been ‘iffy’ in the rum part. I don’t hate it, I just don’t like it to overpower a dessert.

The pork belly dish reminded me of ’snails’, you know the pastry? I think everything here looks divine Lorraine..except for the fish. Which is ok, but I feel like I ate it with you! It reminds me of the fish I ordered on my wedding anniversary this year and I totally regretted it. It just didn’t compare with other dishes and it wasn’t satisfying and I felt a bit ripped off.

I think it’s wonderful that you get invited into kitchens and get free food too. Royal Hospital Road seems soooo pricey. But I’d love to go! Most of the money I spent in Brisbane recently was on dining out..and the older I get, the more true that is for me. I love dining experiences and would rather skimp on other things so I can try different food
