“Wilfred chose pan-fried lamb tenderloins presented on a beautiful yellow polenta pancake, spiced with cumin and served with a garlic sauce. The aromatic lamb simply melted in the mouth; The sauce of whole pieces of garlic was an absolute knock-out. A truly magical dish.”

“The beef fillets had been quickly seared and then poached in red wine and were so tender they could be broken apart with the side of a fork. Served heaped on a risotto rice cake and accompanied by sweet braised shallots, I can say without hesitation that this was the best beef fillet I have tasted in years.”
