Le Cassoulet

Everyone's A Critic (28 October 2009)

I went to Le Cassoulet last night with my partner and I am happy to say that we both enjoyed a beautiful meal. The service was very good and unlike some of the posh nosh restaurants, and believe me I’ve been to a few, the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable with a mixture of clientele. To start, my partner had the seared foie gras, onion chutney and pickled girolles and I had seared scallops, black pudding ravioli and alsace bacon. I actually had never eaten scallops before as I am not the biggest sea food fan. However, my partner dared me to try it and I'm really glad that he did. We both had a 28 day aged châteaubriand roast bone marrow, green beans and frites for our mains; it was so tender that you could have used a butter knife to cut the meat, our only disappointment was the tarte tatin which was overdone. However, that small blip didn’t take away the fact that this restaurant does good food. It’s definitely worth a visit and worth every penny.
