Restaurant Nathan Outlaw This restaurant has only been open since February this year, I have been in for lunch twice now and both times it has been the best lunch I have ever had, One day I will have to make it in for dinner, but as everyone knows even the best plans fail, Anyway on to the good stuff, the views from the restaurant are truly wonderful, the service is fantastic, Very professional but not to stuffy, I had both of my lunches on the terrace overlooking the River Fowey as both days were fantastic. I was talking to one of the staff after my first lunch and she said they open 6 days a week for dinner and 3 days a week for lunch, the reason for this she said if “Nathan” Is not cooking the restaurant is closed, I think this is fantastic for a small restaurant in Fowey, on a good note you know the standard will always be the same as they use the same team everyday and all the staff have the same day off , I think this makes for a consistently good team. On to the menu: (this is the menu from my second visit) Starters Black Bream Pickled Mushroom Risotto Squash Soup Roast Salt Pollack Slow cooked Pork Onion Puree - Pickled Plums Mains Duck Bacon - Lentils - Sherry Vinegar Lamb White Beans and Asparagus – Rosemary Sauce Seabass Herb Potato - Sauce Vierge Desserts Apple Tart Tatin Cream Cheese Ice Cream Plum Sponge Bay Leaf Ice Cream British Artisan Cheese 2 Courses £15.00 3 Courses £18.00 On my first visit I had; Slow cooked pork Onion Puree – pickled plums The slow cooked pork absolutely blew me away, crispy top yet the meat so soft, resting on a small bed of mixed leaves, with plums and onion puree. Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!! Duck Bacon –lentils – sherry vinegar Very nice well cooked, well balanced and looked amazing, tasted great Rhubarb Sponge Stem Ginger ice cream What can I say, it is cooked to order so takes a little while but my god it was great and the ice cream had the most stunning flavor. On my Second visit I had: The pork again (probably the most amazing starter I have ever had) Lamb White beans and asparagus- rosemary sauce Just so well presented, cooked beautifully, and tasted superb, Plum Sponge Bay leaf ice cream Rhubarb was off the menu on my second visit but, the plum sponge was just as good if not better, as I have never had a “Bay leaf ice cream” the flavors worked so well, and the ice cream wasn’t to overpowering. My total bills First visit 2x £18.00 2x coke £1.50 1x Orange £1.50 Total £40.50 Left £9.50 as tip G Total £50.00 I had no wine but it starts from about £3.50 per glass Second Visit 2x Glass champagne £7.50 2x £18.00 3x coke £1.50 1x white wine spritz £4.00 Total £59.50 Left £10.50 tip G Total £70.00 I can’t wait to get back to this most fantastic restaurant, I am trying to get in for dinner on a Saturday in may so I will post that menu when I get back. All in all the best restaurant I have been to for a very long time, they also do not except children under 10 years old, I think this helps a lot as Fowey is a sea-side town and most restaurants are overrun with screaming kids. Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Value 10/10 (you cant get a 3 course lunch at the local pub for the price Nathan charges for lunch) Probably the best value lunch in Cornwall at the moment Would I go back, most defiantly. I have recommended the restaurant to everyone I have seen since my visit. /Pasty Man P.s forgot the contact details Restaurant Nathan Outlaw Marina Villa Hotel Fowey Cornwall PL23 1HY 01726 833315 http://www.themarinahotel.co.uk/nathanoutlaw/index.htm
