Housed within one of Guilford's finest hotels, The Mandolay, m.Brasserie and Grill's chic design elements, gentle lighting and brown colour schemes speak of elegance and much warmth, this coupled with fine food truly make for a memorable eating out experience. This is indeed a place for all moods and occasions, so you could pop in for a light snack on the terrace at lunchtime or head to the restaurant for something even more sustaining in the evening.

Uncomplicated brasserie fare is presented with much verve, a chicken liver and orange pâté, or a warm smoked duck with balsamic onion confit and roasted shallots can be followed with a slow cooked lamb shank served with a beetroot mash, roasted parsnips and a red wine jus, and beer battered haddock. The deli board is clearly categorised and is an impressive collection of meat, fish and mezze dishes whilst the cheese board in particular is a complete cheese package with English brie, farmhouse cheddar, gorgonzola and smoked applewood.
