To expand on the previous nights dinner

As I wait here for Danica to go and buy some shoes ;)


The dinner the other night was had here at the Capitol, it is the only restaurant within a hotel to have two Michelin stars. You can see pretty much was was on the menu here.

All up it ended being about 5 courses.
A soup pre-appetiser.
The appetiser.
The main.
Desert.
Chocolates.

I took a leap and had Pigeon for my main as it was recommended by the waiter man and it was amazing! It looked rather rare but felt cooked, the texture was like a finer roo (if you have had it) and the taste was about as strong as roo as well.


Also of note, at least for me, was the inclusion of 59 whiskeys at the bar.
59!
(Of course that includes the lesser bourbon whiskeys, but still!)

They had bottles from Speyside, Lowlands, Highlands, Islay, Islands and everywhere in between. The most expensive was a bottle of Farclas 1959, a single serve (about 50ml here) was 89 pounds - or just shy of $200. I was sorely tempted to try it, but that crossed the path into insanity so I just tried the 'cheaper' stuff (ie under 20 pounds).


Needless to say I have a number of leads for my next bottle of premium scotch.
