The difference between average and awesome is…
The difference between good food and food so awesome you want to caress it gently and love it like it was your first born child as much as you want to eat it is really not as much as you would think. It's probably as little as £30. But £30 buys you a much more gratifying experience. And by gratifying I mean tear drippingly beautiful. is the dining equivalent of watching a unicorn being born beside a waterfall whilst angels play Led Zeppelin and the bank manager phones to tell you you're million pounds to the good due to a clerical error but it's okay you can keep it because you're aces.
Tedford's Saturday night...
This was the second course. A gift from Chef Alan. A trio of duck - breast, confit and egg. Oh mummy. I had stuffed lemon sole prior.
The main was Turbot and Scallops. Oh bloody crikey. It's hard to eat as the tears flow. Tears of happiness I should add. This was followed by more ooohing and ahhing and a a selection of ice creams and sorbets.
Tedford's. It's worth every penny and pound...get it done.
This review brought a tear to my eye.
it’s worth a tear and a thousand more….I want it all again….now
and all for £70 before booze…
damn that looks soooo preeetttyyy i must visit, yes i shall! only take about 3K to fly over and stay a day…sighhh stupid ikea food we get
spend the money….it’s worth it!
I was in Ramsay’s 3* Royal Hospital Road about 2 years ago. I’d rather go to Tedfords 3 times for the same caish.
which was just a fancy way of saying ,”I was in Ramsay’s 3* Royal Hospital Road”
pfft…
but you’re right
Eh? No review on what I had? You probably cant remember you were so busy admiring your own!
awh….!
went to Le Maison in Dublin for lunch yesterday…….Glorious..num num
oooooh nice!
A.A. Gill- eat yer heart out!
heh…thanks…I do hope you’re okay….are you?
That looks so wonderful that I’m impressed you could write anything at all after eating. I would have been reduced to a nodding, smiling mute.
so was I but the bottle of wine really helped..!
Then again I still dream about that tear-jerkingly beautiful rare breast of woodpigeon that a certain waiter once recommended….
when I recover from this pesky lack of a gallbladder it shall be on the menu.
ah ha….so you’re nearly better!
I was just thinking about going back…any idea what the lunch menu is like Manuel, gotta bring my Ma out for lunch for her 60th birthday.
John I have no idea…was looking for it last night as we waited for our taxi….email em…god it was good man….really really good
Damn, now I’m hungry!
Work of art on a plate.
You can see the love.
oh they really mean it Medbh…
Now I’m gutted, I turned down lunch in Tedfords 2 weeks ago and someone else was paying. Meh!!!!
dear oh dear…
Well, I was also there on Saturday night and have to confess that, for the first time in Tedfords, I had a bit of a mixed bag.
The pork belly part of the belly/cheek starter was frankly inedible, having been cooked for what appeared to have only been a matter of minutes – rock-hard grey meat and unrendered fat ruined one of my favourite cuts. No attempt at redress/apology was made when this was mentioned to the waitress (who was otherwise fantastic). Chef was obviously too busy piling freebies into bloggers *wink*.
Both the turbot dish and the gurnard (which replaced the 86′d bream) were really very good, although the memory of that terrible pork belly lingered on, not ruining the meal, but casting a pretty dark shadow over it.
I still love this restaurant. I suppose everyone’s allowed a bad day/moment.
Oh my….LMM had the pork to start and it was exceptional…I know couse I ate most of it…pielord…
