New Street Brasserie, The

The New Street Brasserie, housed within the Atlantic Hotel of that parish, is sure to rev up your enthusiasm about brasserie food and what better place to do than in a comfy, informal setting. Dark wood furniture and white leather chairs make a pleasant combination and merge impeccably with aubergine and fuchsia hues that abound.

When it comes to the food, the philosophy is quite clear, fresh seasonal ingredients rule and modern European cooking techniques come to the fore. Thyme rolled beef carpaccio and chicken and artichoke ballotine make their mandatory appearance first, quickly followed by gently cooked pork belly and oven roasted salmon fillet. A roasted hoi sin duck from China, lamb curry with vegetable pilaf rice from India, or beer battered fish done the English way, diners could be up for some culinary globe-trotting here at New Street.

Whether your waistline reveals regular inner cravings for something sweet or not, a dark chocolate fondant or champagne jelly trifle is a good way to finish.
