Bjorn van der Horst's two-sided dining experience. In the Bistro bit there are hearty, slow-cooked dishes and in the Restaurant there are things like Bjorn’s signature foie gras with espresso syrup and amaretto foam.

Good Food, Very Expensive

4.0 out of 5.0

February 07, 2010

Went to Eastside for my anniversary this week and had a very good meal and experience. The menu was a ‘surprise’, meaning you choose from 2 courses, 3 courses or tasting menu and then they decide what to make from a list of ingredients they present to you. You can tell them you don’t want something (e.g. calves brains) or you really do want something (e.g. foie gras). I actually really like the concept. We chose 3 courses (£60 per person) and the wine pairing (£30 per person). So I pretty much panicked at the price, but since it was my anniversary I just smiled and dealt with it. The food: amuse bouche of foie gras, first course 1 scallop, second course 1 prawn, main small amount of chicken, accompanied with 3 small glasses of admittedly very good wine. Great service, good sommelier. So all in all good food, very expensive.
