Dr Anne's Starter
Sandra at the Peat InnDr Anne and her friend Sandra went for dinner at Scotland's Restaurant of the Year 2010, the Peat Inn near Cupar in Fife. Staying in Cambo Castle near St Andrews they decided to travel by taxi so that they might enjoy the evening to the full.
They received a very warm welcome enjoying an appetizer with some smoked almonds, olives and a parmesan twist while they studied the menu. Dr Anne chose a bottle of Koura Bay (2008), a sauvignon blanc from the Malborough region of New Zealand to accompany the meal.
The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and friendly. The staff were efficient and very attentive. First of all Sandra chose a parmesan and onion roll while Dr Anne chose a date and sesame seed roll. They received an amouze bouche of celery soup with walnut oil, compliments of the chef.
Sandra chose a warm salad of wood pigeon, apple and fennel with a prune and Armagnac puree. Dr Anne decided on the home cured salmon on a dill blini with dill cucumbers, lobster and advocado creme fraiche (photo above). For mains, Sandra chose duck breast while Anne decided on the vegetarian option -rosemary polenta, open ravioli of gem and celariac, wild mushrooms and walnut veloute. All were enjoyed to the full. To end they had coffee and petit fours.
