| Sam's Brasserie |
Last night a
Pescatarian and I were lured across town on a Monday evening by the promise of
complimentary treats at the newly refurbished Sam’s Brasserie in Chiswick.
We were greeted by Sam
Harrison (the man behind the name) at the new quirky American-diner style bar
where we nibbled on spicy pop-corn and flatbread, and three sizable portions of
hummus, babaganoush and the best light and creamy taramasolata I have ever
tasted.

Our treats were part
of the exciting revised New York style bar menu. Other highlights included a skinny
burger with lots of salad and no bun, a Butchers board, and Padron peppers with
sea salt (my absolute favourite snack when I lived in Spain).

| Steak and Kidney Pudding |
The new restaurant
menu tickled our fancy even more so we carried our drinks across the buzzing
bar and into the relaxed restaurant, where we were complimented on the hearty
dishes we chose: Steak and kidney pudding with swede and carrot mash and an
extra jug of gravy and a humongous fresh plaice with a parsley and caper
sauce. Even though we were full to
the brim we somehow managed to share an irresistible blackcurrant cheesecake
with port and apple sorbet.

As we were leaving, we
discovered we had just missed Rick Stein who had been filming his Christmas
special there that day. But he will be back in November for his Sea-Food Pop up
shop.
If you want to sample
the complimentary snacks get down to Sam’s Brasserie during
September (Monday - Thursday) between 6pm and 8pm.
Oh, and how could I
forget - the cocktails are worth a tipple too.
