Simpsons

I went to Simpsons in Edgbaston, Birmingham, with Tegan last summer. Unfortunately I never got time to write about it. I found my photos of our lunch there the other day and thought it seemed a shame to let photos of such beautiful Michelin starred food go to waste. So, here they are ...

To start with Tegan and I were given a basket of warm home-made breads which included; olive tapenade, goat’s cheese, tomato and fennel, sour dough and French baguette. We were also served an amuse bouche in a little shot glass which was tomato, pepper and cous cous gazpacho. 



Monkfish with roasted salsify, hazelnuts, samphire, watercress and red wine sauce 

 

Roasted squab pigeon with peach, dandelion salad, spiced turnips and foie gras


Duo of Cornish lamb with French beans, globe artichokes, lovage, goat’s cheese, radish and lamb juice


Fillet of turbot with squid, Piquillo pepper, sweet corn ravioli, coconut cream, curry oil and coriander


Pre-dessert - raspberries with basil yoghurt and granola


Lemon tart with Chantilly, baked meringue and basil ice-cream


Passion fruit parfait with chocolate creamy, cacao struzzel and warm passion fruit sauce


Petit Fours


The beautiful garden you overlook whilst eating your lunch. We sat out there to drink our tea and coffee.
