OH, MY GOODNESS … order those ubers and get going! Of course, Bellgables Country Restaurant needs no introduction however while I am sitting here sharing my last experience with Errol and his team, I am very excited about tonight’s five course meal pairing with five wines from the Culinaria Collection that we are attending. To go a little back in time, we had the privilege of being hosted by Errol to celebrate not only my, but also my fiancé’s FIFTY birthdays mid-May. As usual Bellgables did not disappoint, and I am so happy we took time to take pictures. Upon arrival an inviting fire met us with a friendly server pouring my favourite beverage, sparking wine. As not all guests arrived promptly, we sat outside enjoying the warmth the fire offered and caught up on recent news with excitement about the evening ahead. Well, nothing could prepare us for what waited inside – the décor was exceptional. As we know, a picture tells a thousand words. We were a party of 16 and ordered starters ranging between “Trio of soups’, “salmon roses”, “halloumi rolls” and “black mushroom”. No one was left needing unless they wanted MORE! We had the “trio of soups”, and I should not have eaten all the scrumptious bread served along with it. The soups were insanely good. Professional, service-orientated waiters were at our beck and call as we finished one glass of wine after the other. Soon the mains arrived and again a few favourites were ordered – “pan fried salmon”, “fillet medallions” and “lamb shank”. I’ve personally tried all of them before but decided to tuck into lamb shank on this occasion … fall-off-the-bone flavourful and a very generous portion indeed. Every single person, even our very picky foodie friends were exhaling roars of excitement with each bite of their meals. A few decided to indulge in some tasty treats, but I ordered a yummy whiskey dom pedro … oh wait, what is this? Chef Errol prepared the most beautiful dessert plates for the birthday girl and boy! Oh, my soul, we were able to tuck in AND share with the rest of our guests as there was more than enough to go around – exquisite crème brulee, sorbet and strawberry mousse. Again, upholding to Bellgables’ unfailing standard of quality and taste. Errol, thank you very much to you and your dedicated team who make each experience, a memorable one.
