Lunch @ The Lansdowne

// April 4th, 2010 // Food, Reviews, Twitter

Ahh… Good Friday was indeed, good. I had the day off and so did Jen. We spent the morning lazing around watching TV and we decided to head out for lunch. I wanted to let Twitter decide where I went, so I posted a message to that effect and @lansdownespy got in touch. Full disclosure here: I’ve already been to The Lansdowne – for Glasgow Twestival – but I’ve never had the food before Friday.

The lovely Emma and Barry were both serving, and you couldn’t ask for better service – very attentive, keen to make sure you’re having a good time, got enough to drink, etc, so Jen and I were both happy. If we thought the service was good, we were in for a real treat with the food! We decided to go for a main course and a dessert. I had the Chicken Supreme, which is chicken breast stuffed with black pudding, wrapped in bacon with sauteed potatoes and a whisky sauce. Jen had the Haddock Supper, pretty self explanatory – battered fish and home-made chips. Great stuff.

After we dispensed with the mains, we moved on to the important business of dessert. We both opted for the Chocolate & Orange Cheesecake. Oh. My. God. Sara Lee can suck it. The Lansdowne’s cheesecake is amazing! I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. The person who tweets for them is also a fan of this particular dish. Oh, and did I mention? They serve it on an actual slate:

The food at The Lansdowne is out of this world. Follow them on Twitter at @lansdownespy, visit the website and visit them in person. You’ll not regret it!
