Absolutely delicious.
Shrewsbury has been waiting for a seafood & fish restaurant like this, after a friend recommended it, I was so looking forward to eating here & I was definitely not disappointed!
The owner was very welcoming, she's decorated the walls of the restaurant herself with under-sea murals and it makes for a very cosy & homely space
For starter I had the crab bisque, and for main, the trout. There's not a menu on the FB page as far as I can see, but if you message them they will send you a copy
I spent a week deciding on what I was going to have, then changed my mind when I got there - it all looked so delicious!
The bisque was dark, thick, full of flavour & peppered with generous chunks of crab meat - it was all I could do not to lick the bowl!
The trout was perfectly cooked and served with fish veloute, grilled (and somewhat caramelised) fennel, along with a generous serving of pureed potato and some crevettes and mussels for good measure
The friend I was eating with had the scallops & black pudding as a starter (we did swapsies of course ;)) and agreed they they had been cooked to perfection, caramelised on the outside and juicy on the inside - she was particularly pleased with the thin & crispiness of the black pudding which accompanied it
Along with a very decent wine list, this made for a really excellent meal. Somewhere I would definitely come back to, and absolutely recommend!
Outstanding meal, quality service, lovely atmosphere. Bisque and mackerel to start, bass and tagine to follow. All a delight. This place is a great addition to the Shrewers list of first class restaurants. Happy to recommend. And I suspect you’ll need to book as more people like us rave about it!
Just had our first meal at La Mer Rouge.... will definitely be back.... delicious food & friendly staff. Best meal we have had in ages! Emily & James
