Walking in off the street we met Siobhan going back up to the restaurant from the bar with a drinks order. With a welcoming smile she said "follow me" and we did.
The décor is great. Modern and pleasant. Fabulously magnificent light shades that my partner somehow initially missed!
Down to business. We went for the Chefs menu, which was excellent value at 24.95 EUR for three courses. Two courses was 20.95 EUR.
To start I went for the Smoked Salmon & Pate, my partner the Ham Hock Terrine. Delicious, both delicious. The salmon especially. Plenty of smoked salmon that was just melt in the mouth.
For mains I went for the Slow Roast Pork Belly, my partner the Caribbean Chicken Fricassee. The pork had lots and lots of meat and was cooked perfectly. The accompanying vegetables and jus worked very very well. My partner was really really pleased with his main course. He was still talking about it a few days later. I am sure he will describe it adequately in his review.
For wine we picked Old Coach Road, a 2012 Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, 32 EUR. This worked wonderfully with my meal.
We shared a dessert, which you pick from the A la carte menu, even though it part of the Chef menu deal. We picked the Chocolate Brown. Sweet mother divine, so so good.
Each dish was presented immaculately. The service was excellent. Siobhan and co were very attentive and friendly to boot. We had a nice albeit brief chat with Siobhan at the end.
Brennan's Lane is fantastic. And for 24.95 EUR, excellent value. It was the best meal of our whole week long trip a long the west coast. We are very grateful to Dolores at the Red River Lodge B&B for recommending it to us. read more
