Hisop

[Matthew Grant]

Hisop didn't really do it for me, the dishes seemed a little thrown together. E.g. the Foie dish came with chocolate, espresso, liquorice stick and grapes, unfortunately the grapes just weren't sweet enough to balance the dish properly it was also lacking in salt. The monkfish with chanterelles, marrow fat atop a bed of unnecessary spinach was a little bland some of which was probably down to the seasoning and some down to some dull fish. Sadly the Prune and Armagnac ice cream that came with the lamb cutlets and sweetbreads would have been nice with the Foie, this dish was a a touch lukewarm. Desserts were more successful with a take on a mojito and another chocolate dessert with chocolate stuff and goats milk stuff being a nice way to finish the meal. Overall it was Good value though, the tasting menu cost less than ordering three courses, the wine pairings added only another €12 each and I'd probably give it another go if I lived here. There were only two other tables occupied on Thursday night.
