West End Brasserie
Looking for a nice, central place to meet up with friends for dinner, I came across Incognico, a cosy brasserie style restaurant in the West End. Incognico looks great - mood lighting, elegant decor and smiling staff. Food is well presented and tasty. There is a small bar area where you can relax before your meal. There is also a private room if you have a large group.
Service was not fabulous, but adequate. Overall, it was a good evening.
So, the food. We were dining on a special offer - 3 courses and a glass of champagne for £22 each, we considered this a bargain considering the quality and presentation of the meals. For starters we had the Ravioli of Goats Cheese & Red Pepper; the Gnocchi, which just melted in your mouth; the Salted Cod which was perfectly salty; and the Serrano Ham, Mozzarella & Rocket salad that was a bit light on the Mozzarella.
Main courses were particularly delicious - especially the Honey Roast Duck breast with Pommes Fondant. We also had the Rack of Lamb with Provencal Vegetables, Black Olive and Madeira; and the Spatchcock of Quail, which were also enjoyable.
Wine for the evening was an interesting bottle of Chateau Musar, which is a surprisingly good Lebanese red wine.
Last but not least, dessert. The Pecan Tart won my vote, whilst the others enjoyed the Honeycomb Iced Parfait with Raspberries; and the Sticky Toffee Pudding with Caramel Ice Cream, which was polished off with a smile.
** Returned to Incognico in June 2008 and had a really enjoyable meal. Excellent lamb dish in particular. Incognico isn't a first choice for me, but a good standby if you want a decent meal in a quiet environment **
