Restaurant:

Tierre Brindisa

46 Broadwick Street

London

Tel 020 7534 1690

Tongue Pleasers:

Iberion loin-fantastic, buttery cured meat; table favourite

Seared foie gras with stewed lentils-rich and complimented by lentils

Octopus “Galician style”-served with roasted & fried potato nuggets

Baby squid in Manzanilla wine-a simple but enjoyable dish

Chicken Croquette-more chicken, less croquette

Alejandro chorizo in cider-taken with an order of country bread

Purple sprouted broccoli w/slivered almonds and chilies- + veg addition

Deep fried goat cheese with blossom petal honey glaze - perfect finale

Accompanied By:

Rosado; Peregrino (Pietro Picudo), Leon - taste of berries; fruity and soft on the palate

Red; Alais 2006, Castilla Leon - scent and a mouthful of pepper; distinct but smooth

Classic bottle of coca cola

Belu bottled mineral water

Overall:

Difficult to comment based on a lack of London fine dining experiences; however, for the most part, a very pleasing (regarding food, ambiance and company) experience all together

Would I Re-visit?:

After I’ve tried Casa Brindisa :)

Part 1: London in Pictures

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
//
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

-w.b.


Here in the land that housed William Blake, we thought it would only be fitting to name our adventures after “Songs of Innocence”, the volume of poetry he wrote about looking at the world through a child’s eyes. 

Because that’s what the next eight(ish) months will be about!: wonderment, discovery, impish joy, spontaneity.

If you’ve stumbled on this blog, you probably know that we are two Canadian girls that have made the 8-time zone jump to England. It is our hope that by the end of our journey, we will be able to also echo Blake’s volume of poetry called “Songs of Experience.”

Stay tuned!

Love, Joann and Maggie
