Girls dinner @ Roux at the Landau

Well when you have a good deal of £35 for 3 courses & a glass of wine at a prestigious restaurant like Roux at the Landau, Monday night is as good a night as any to try it out!

also it’s official – Monday night is martini night 😉

Tanqueray 10 Dry Martini with a twist 🙂

Except the girls didn’t get the memo – they were interested in trying out the more unusual cocktails in the Artesian bar at the Langham whilst waiting for me:

I honestly have no idea what the pink one was, Lauren enjoyed her ‘woodland pool’ (her words!) complete with mushrooms and pine needles; and Catherine’s cocktail was hidden in a brass pineapple!

When we got into the restaurant I was happy to be with the girls – we brought our own atmosphere…. Basically there is a reason why the deal is only available at certain times on certain days midweek, the restaurant was fairly empty and the few people there seemed to be staying at the hotel.

The special menu

So what about the food? Nom!! (Obviously!)

Starter of smoked haddock, brown egg and bhajis, beautiful!

Main of lamb with haggis bon bons

I had the confit rabbit leg – perfectly cooked and falling off the bone – amazing with the gorgeous soft cheesy polenta.

Dessert of coconut mousse – those that chose this were happy – I’m not a huge fan of coconuts….

Cheese trolley – I couldn’t resist!

All gorgeously presented and happily tasty. We felt pleasantly full, not over-stuffed, or cheated, a good portion size! The cheese selection for those that chose the trolley was amazing too.

Well worth a mid week visit, a good time was enjoyed by all!
