This would be Arguineguin,s answer to Glasgow,s Ox and Finch . Run by a Swedish and Danish couple , the personal touch prevails throughout one,s dining experience .
Menu is composed of tasting dishes so 3 to 4 dishes would be the norm here .
Ingredients are sourced locally where possible eg fish caught that very day . The restaurant prides itself on its wine selection (150 bottles in stock )
All of which can be purchased by glass which is unusual .
Our waiter took great pains to introduce us to the menu and whilst in conversation he told us he had worked in Babbity Bowsers in Glasgow at one juncture . This made us feel at ease and we spent sometime choosing dishes whilst sipping Tio Pepe as a aperitif .
We selected a tomato / mozzarella salad alongside mushroom croquettes and a cheese / honey and pine nut combination.
The mozzarella was delicious and fresh and the croquettes had chanterelle mushrooms and champignons in them .
The cheese with honey and pine nuts was my favourite , really mouthwatering .
There was a bit of butter used in the cooking process which obviously upped the fat content but allowed a delicious taste to permeate the dishes .
A lovely sea bass followed by which time we were starting to struggle so opted not to have a dessert .
For a Tuesday night the restaurant was busy and booking is recommended . The clientele are predominantly Scandinavian as so many come here to escape the weather . A bit like ourselves actually .
We were given a honey rum ,compliments of the house to finish our meal ,which had a dusting of cinnamon on it .
We rolled out feeling replete and vowing to return soon . read more
