I'd had a memorable visit to Cau last year in Amsterdam, so I was really pleased to see one in Tunbridge Wells on a recent day out.
We were feeling a little peckish but not massively so, so Scott and I decided to get a few small plates to share.
Hummus and Crispbreads with walnuts: it was okay, nowhere near enough Hummus and the Crispbreads weren't great. I wouldn't have this again.
Chicken wings: can't go wrong with chicken wings, they were crisp and full of flavor. The ailoi was nice too.
Yerba Smoked Beef: now this was a delight! Portion was quite small but it more than made up for it in flavour. I think this was my favourite out of the dishes.
Empanadas. We had a ground beef and and chorizo and cheese Empanada and they were both divine. Decent size, the pastry was thick but light at the same time and didn't give us a heavy feeling afterwards. Highly recommended.
I had a drink of the homemade lemonade, which at £2.95 I thought was outrageous. It was essentially a glass of water with a bit of lemon squeezed in, plus a stick thyme as a garnish. Tasteless and not worth it.
Overall I'd give Cau 3.5 stars. It was good, but my experience at the one in Amsterdam was excellent. read more
