Absynthe

I went to Absynthe almost a year ago, and never thought to post a review about it. But here i am, a year on, and still cant forget the unforgettable meal my partner and I had. We had the 7 course degustation menu that begun with an amazing Golden egg starter that consisted of a mousse inside an egg shell with a gold leaf on top, and a slow pouched egg in potato froth and a slice of smoked panchetta. Truly amazing! From there we had Grilled prawns with parmasan custard that was divine! then each course followed with a theme. 'the sea' 'the garden' 'the land'. after this we had two desert courses witch i thought i would never finish but when i saw the first come out on its beautiful gold rimmed plate and its contrasting orange colours i knew it had to meet my taste bus. The service was good, each course the waiter gave us a run down of the dish and the wine to match. Considering this restaurant is located in what i thought was the tacky side of town, its was truly amazing. 18/11/2008
