Tasting menus

He says...

As one of our guests has said, six courses in under two hours is going to be like an extreme sport. Although to deem the by-now-ubiquitous amuse bouche an actual 'course' is pushing it a little. I'll be surprised if it surpasses the amuse bouche we received in the restaurant attached to our hotel in Italy the other week: a whole cup of caviar.

But this does all look rather good - especially the 'Seared Gressingham Duck Breast and slow cooked cabbage wrapped leg served with girolles, sugarsnaps and orange jus' - or Duck a l'orange as it was once known.

Unlike Kat, I've never eaten here, although I did once go to the Lounge Lover bar next door, which, unusually for a bar, doesn't have a bar. You just kind of casually hang around until a waiter asks you if you want a drink. Bit disconcerting really, but that's Shoreditch for you.
