I love to eat and all the more with my lovely man GG by my side. So when I heard about a fundraising function called Dine for Life I was keen.
The concept? One simultaneous dining experience across several top restaurants. One after party. 100% of the proceeds donated to raise funds for a local charity in need
Basically at 13 of the lovely restaurants around town there were a table of 10 diners. And these were all lovely eateries. GG and I were given Bar One, which we hadn’t been to together before so it was sure to be nice.
The menu was super impressive, starting with the best carpaccio that i’d ever had!
Followed by a super tasty prawn and scallop risotto
Then for mains it was a cherry glazed duck leg and it was melt in your mouth amazing!!
The salad on the bottom was a perfect addition, nice and fresh and almost a little bitter which was a nice contrast with the sweet duck
The perfect end was beetroot icecream with gingerbread crumbles – such a great combination!
How I managed to fit a coffee in I had no idea! I was full to capacity, which amazingly delicious food!
Then after dinner we were driven to the surprise after party at Malt Supper Club – an inventive drink from Cocktail Gastronomy…. wasn’t my favourite but it was fun.
It was a lovely venue, very trendy, but I didn’t fancy being super wiped the next day so we tapped out about 10ish…. so we missed out on a goody bag, but I had a lovely time, would totally do it again!!
Here’s cheers!
