I took my partner to The Bentley on the weekend for her first mothers day. The lighting is very dark, and the photos don’t really do the food justice.
Parmesan Crisps
Sour Apple Mocktail
Pear and Mint Mocktail
Beetroot + Purple Carrots + Raddish + Salad Burnet
Zucchini + Borlotti Beans + Squash + Nasturtium
White Asparaagus + Salsify + Charred onion
Baby King Edward Potatoes + Green Garlic _ Amaranth
Eggplant + Leek + Shemiji Mushrooms + Rye
Charred Pumpkin + Blackrice + Broad Beans
White Chocolate + Apple Sorbet + Fennel
Aerated Chocolate + Fig Leaf Ice Cream + Lemon Aspen
Honey Comb Chocolate to finish.
Many Vegetarian/Vegan menus out there focus too heavily on mimicking various meat dishes. The Vegetarian tasting menu at Bentley truly highlights the essence of the vegetable.
The Zucchini + Borlotti Beans + Squash + Nasturtium was definitely a highlight.
If I could be slightly picky – the Eggplant + Leek + Shemiji Mushrooms + Rye was a little on the salty side. Otherwise a fantastic menu.
