Me and OLC went to Hotel Chocolat's new restaurant Rabot 1745 in Borough Market at the weekend. Was pretty special. Had a cocktail, Her Majesty's Martini (Cocoa gin, amaretto, maraschino, cognac and cocoa bitters). The drinks list is very extensive with an impressive amount of rum on offer.
The three courses I had were:
Pear Barley Scotch Egg
Nib-crusted quail’s egg pearl barley ‘scotch egg’ with warm salad of roasted root vegetables, goat’s cheese dressing and cacao oil emulsion.
Slow Roast Shoulder of Lamb
Lake District Herdwick lamb basted with cacao balsamic, roast garlic mash, seasonal vegetables
Chocolate Genesis
The whole epic story from the beginning - roasted beans and small shots of drinking chocolate to truffles, pralines and single-estate grades, made on the site from the bean.
All were perfect, the lamb in particular was stunning.
They sell wines by the glass, flask or bottle which is good and they also give you some cocoa beans to munch on whilst you are waiting.
The staff were friendly and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend it.
