Fancy a fancy bistro? Darley Street will do it for you. Found closer to the St Peters side of things, the second you look at the menu for Darley Street Bistro, you'll understand why I believe calling it "pub grub" is an insult.
After ordering in traditional pub style, we headed up the stairs into the dining area. Surprisingly quite large, it opened into a outdoor courtyard, which was full and stretched quite far. Though narrow, it oozed with intimacy and a relaxing atmosphere.
After a wait of something close to half an hour, we were called to collect our dishes: Hand made ravioli with goats cheese and pumpkin with roast peppers, lemon and parsley gremolata and topped with shaved grana padano and Darley Street corned beef braised in honey, American mustard and peppercorns served on Parmesan mash with Dijon cream, spinach and asparagus.
The ravioli was delicious and light and packed full of flavour whilst the corned beef was soft, flaked right on the touch and filling to boot. But not filling enough to pass up on dessert. After one of the servers at Sole Espresso discovered my love for chocolate, he suggested I try this baby out.
It's a triple brownie stack and must be shared at all costs. Brownie, ice cream, brownie, ice cream, brownie, ice cream and a strawberry on top. If you like your brownies moist then I don't recommend this. If you don't mind chewie, nutty and chocoately, then give this a go. Technically, it's called a chocolate, pecan and rum tower and is worth saving your stomach for.
