The distinctly assertive flavour of Smoked Herring mutates here into something otherworldly that both marries with and softens the sometimes acidic nature of tomato soup. In the process, both components are instantly elevated. Image © Sarina Bland

Reminiscent in flavour to flan, but firmer in texture, this was my first time tasting Far Breton, a traditional dessert from the French region of Brittany. Simply put, I loved it. The caramel sauce provided an interesting counterpoint to the sweetness of the cake as did the poached grapes which had absorbed the sauce’s flavour. Image © Sarina Bland

Chef’s Soup of the Day
♦ Tomato Soup with Cream of Smoked Herring ♦
The distinctly assertive flavor of Smoked Herring mutates here into something otherworldly that both marries with and softens the sometimes acidic nature of tomato soup. In the process, both components are instantly elevated.
Catch of the Day
♦ Lemon & Fresh Herbs Beurre Blanc/Basil Mash/Seasonal Vegetables ♦
A pleasing mix of bright garden flavours surround these cylindrical, white fish presentations.
♦ Pan Fried Far Breton with Salted Caramel Sauce ♦
Reminiscent in flavour to flan but firmer in texture, this was my first time tasting Far Breton, a traditional dessert from the French region of Brittany. Simply put, I loved it. The caramel sauce provided an interesting counterpoint to the sweetness of the cake, as did the poached grapes, which had absorbed the sauce’s flavor.
