EngineHouse Cafe, The

Rickoshea (21 October 2008)

On a cold Saturday night after a long day shopping, the Engine House is a sight for sore eyes. With welcoming staff and a tasteful décor, it was a little gem. The scallops with black pudding were cooked to perfection, and my partner’s goat’s cheese looked heavenly. My main course, which was beautifully cooked sea bass with leek carbonara, hit all the right spots, while my partner declared that the chicken on a pearl barley broth was moist and deliciously well cooked. After a short break we decided to sample some of the home made desserts. The vanilla brûlée was creamy and was a light end to a meal, and the chocolate brownie certainly made for an indulgent end. For less than £50.00 for three courses each with drinks and a tip, we will definitely return. I just hope that more people will visit this wonderful restaurant-cafe as it truly is an exceptional place with friendly staff at the entrance, and an obviously talented chef. This is truly a place to be proud of.
