We went to St John for Valentine's dinner, though we had to go in the quite early evening as we booked a table very late.
I always wanted to go there.
いくつかの店舗がある中で、こちらのオールド･スピタルフィールズのお店はブレッド＆ワインと称してるだけあって、パンだけ買いにくることもできます。
最近ではドーナツが有名。
They have several branches and this branch in Old Spitalfields is called Bread & Wines, so you can just pop in to buy bread too.
Recently, their doughnut became very popular.
早い時間でそこまでおなかもすいてなかったので、スターターはシェア。
ダックリバーとフォワグラ。
フレンチスタイルでパンに塗って、コニション(小さなきゅうりみたいなやつのピクルス）と一緒に頂きます。
シンプルなのにとてもおいしくて…。
もちろん、食前にパンもサーブされますが、それもとてもおいしかった!
We were not hungry so much, so we shared a starter.
Duck liver and foie gras.
It's French style, we spread it on the bread, and eat with cornichons.
It's simple, but delicious...
Of course you get their bread too, it's also good as well!
メインはソール(ひらめ）をいただきました！
ものすごーく肉厚なひらめ、こんなの初めて!
付け合せのポテトもおいしかった!
相方も同じく、本日のスペシャルメニューから白魚。(何の魚か忘れた…）
シンプルにこちらもレモンと、付け合せも同じくポテトとタルタルソース。
こちらのほうが魚の味がしっかりしてておいしかったかな。
料理もインテリアもシンプルなんだけれど、いかにも「シンプル･イズ･ザ･ベスト」を体現したようなお店。
素材のおいしさを生かしていてとてもおいしかった!
I had a sole.
It was really thick, I had never had such a thick sole!
The side veg potato was also really good.
My partner had a fish too from the today's special menu. (Forgot what kind of fish...)
It's as simple as my sole, with lemon and potatoes and tartar sauce.
His fish had more taste than my sole.
Their food and interior is simple, but it really expresses "Simple is the best".
Simple cooking, but taste very good.
かなりおなかいっぱいだったし、デザートメニューはいかにもイギリス的なプディングやケーキばかりだった中で、マドレーヌはシンプルでおいしそうだったたのでセレクト。
サイズを聞いたらミニマドレーヌっぽかったし、食べきれなかったら持って帰ればいいと思って、マドレーヌ１２個(１２個か６個かのどちらか）をオーダー。
出て来たのはドドーンと普通サイズでした…!
こりゃ絶対に食べきれない、と思いつつも、このマドレーヌ、オーダーしてから焼かれるので、熱々のふわっふわ。
出来立てマドレーヌは香ばしくておいしかった!
でも、もって帰って正解、一晩置いたマドレーヌもそれはそれでおいしかったのでした!
また絶対に来たいお店!
After all we were really full, but their madeleine sounded good.
We asked how big they are and the staff said it's very small, so we order a dozen of them.
However, it was a normal size.....
But those madeleines were baked after we ordered, so they were really fresh!!
Those freshly baked madeleine were really yummy!
Of course we couldn't finish them all, but that was good, because they were even better next morning!
I would love to go back there again!
