Jazz? Whilst you eat brunch?Whilst you're at the Tate Britain? Whilst is Summer and you want to enjoy the sun? No hesitation here! However one should know well enough and mustn't trust the British weather. It was a rainy Saturday in July and my dream-brunch ended up happening indoors.
But can you believe that everything was so good that it ended up being really worth it anyway? It was indeed a very pleasant brunch, or shall I say, late lunch.
There's a choice of a 2 or 3 course menu. As I was more keen for a proper brunch-like meal rather than a big lunch, I ended up choosing a bigger portion of the starters (therefore the 2 eggs bennedict with smoked salmon that were really well cooked, and the courgettes with poached eggs were the dishes that better appealed to me). I then had a very tasty desert. All of this whilst listening to live jazz with very talented musicians which wrapped the meal with a very refreshing environment!

A visit to the British Tate museum is a rare treat. Ending with lunch at the Rex Whistler Room turns it into a even more wonderful experience. We had a most lovely time on Sunday 29 June 2016.
Traditional British food, gourmet standard, served in this elegant historical setting along with a delightful wine pairing.
We started with Saddleback Pig Terrine, piccalilli and toasted Rye as well as Orkney Islands king scallops, radish and heritage beet salad. Accompanied by Coates and Seely Brut Reserve from Hampshire. Delicate, elegant and delicious.
Our main dishes were Sunday Roast with seasonal vegetables and roast potatoes. I had the Swaledale lamb roast with 2014 Lange Nebbiolo from Piemonte, Italy and Izak the Saddleback Pork loin with 2013 Pinot Noir Ahito Otage, New Zealand.
Truly delicious.
We just had to have dessert and the Sticky Toffee pudding & vanilla pod ice cream and Tate's "Nahua" chocolate fondant, praline crumbs & Cornish clotted cream brought our feast to a fitting end. A lunch to remember!

Here are my gluten-free restaurant reviews – mostly in London, but anywhere that I find absolutely delicious. Any meals that have been comp’ed have been specified – and I always give my honest opinion – there’s nothing worse than a shoddy meal!. On Saturday, as a post-Valentine’s treat I was lucky enough to be taken to the most amusing room in Europe.
