Brasserie Rhone

Drawing inspiration from the brasseries of Lyon and Paris, Brasserie Rhone located in High Street, Old Woking, offers Mediterranean style cuisine with heavy hints of olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, aubergines, fennel, peppers and herbs. Traditionally, brasserie food is a lot simpler than the haute cuisine associated with French restaurants and this is evident in the simple yet authentic preparations available at Rhone. Even the wine list is dominated by wines from the Rhone valley that are much like siblings to the recipes originating from the provinces of France, referred to as cuisine de ma grand'mère - grandmother's home cooking. The wines therefore, are excellent accompaniments to the meal and enrich the authenticity of the experience.

The escalivade, assiette de poisson fume au raifort, ratatouille en croûte, steak salad and poulet à l'estragon remain favourites, though every dish on the menu is an authentic reproduction of the original recipe from the provinces. The toasted brioche or pain au raisins is an excellent way to conclude the Brasserie Rhone experience.
