Made my first visit to the Club Brasserie this week. It won’t be the last. Great food, good value (in local terms) and excellent service always brings the customer back.
Started by studying the Early Bird (25 euro for 3 courses) and the A la Carte. Then put those aside as a packed specials board was brought to the table, enough tempting dishes for a week’s visits.
Picked the Tomato and Basil Soup to start with. I was on a winner straight away as this was an excellent bowlful. Oh, and the bread was top class also.
Then on to the main courses. Mine was the Seared Tuna with tomato, avocado, green beans and potato gratin. The fish was just so, tasty and moist and the vegetables fitted the bill to perfection. The other main course at the table was an Aubergine and Onion Tart with a sweet tomato chutney, salad and potato wedges. A little on the sweet side for me but she just loved it.
Dessert was Crème Brulee, with a difference, the difference being a mix of summer berries, a classy way to finish off a classy meal. Total, including €14.95 for 50cl of the house wine special, came to €68.70.
Despite all the good things here, it was a very quiet Thursday night, just a handful of people in. Should be better next week when the round-the –world Clippers will be docked at nearby Albert Quay.
