How many times have we been to Garagiste ... too many to remember. Never had an average meal there ... and the last visit was so superb.
We went there with family last friday. As usual, fantastic service all night long. And it was not as busy as usual ... maybe because its Christmas and you can't book tables.
Anyway, we were quickly ordering tasty dishes - first up four oysters, lightly steamed and served with apple cider vinegar emulsion. I normally prefer them natural, but these were plump, warm and delicious.
On to potato crostini dressed with baked onion, potatoe mousse, herbs and flowers. Almost too pretty to eat. Very delicate, and very delicious.
Char grilled fatty lamb ribs with a delicious lemon, corriander and pepper dressing that cuts through to provide a beautiful tasting treat.
Eel, quail eggs, onion fondue and bread. Wow.
Trumpeter and urchin row. Fantastic.
Tripe, shitake pickles, beef cheek and garlic. How good can food get.
Luke takes great delight in turning the ordinary into something very special, and we are very glad he does. Five stars.
