Last weekend I was lucky enough to visit Bridgnorth in Shropshire. My best friend recommended a good restaurant to visit in Ironbridge.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, tugged away in this scenic and beautiful small town<\/a>, bearing 2\u00a0x\u00a0AA Rosettes and recommended by the 2009\u00a0Michelin Guide, must be worth a visit.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had a good run of our luck, when my friend called the restaurant for a reservation on the same day: a table was cancelled 10 minutes prior his phone call. So we managed to get a booking on a busy Saturday night.<\/p>\n

A 15 minutes taxi ride from Bridgnorth,\u00a0three of us arrived at the “Restaurant Severn” (http:\/\/www.restaurantseven.co.uk\/<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Restaurant<\/p>\n

Soon as we stepped inside, we were welcomed courteously <\/strong>by a member of staff. Upon checking, dare I say, \u201cour last minute lucky\u201d \u00a0booking, within seconds we were ushered to our seats, and were surprisingly showered<\/strong> with their attentive services with the chef\u2019s compliments to follow – a small selection of canap\u00e9 ensures our appetite remain on \u201chigh alert\u201d.<\/p>\n

A bottle of Rioja \u00a02007 on the wine menu was ordered for the evening to share. Sipping probably the finest\u00a0wine in the restaurant, we ordered a fantastic selection of food. Starters including roasted Lamb shanks, giant (and they meant it) seared scallops with crispy bacon lacqured with mustard and honey dressing. For the main courses we adventured into dishes such as Beef Wellington, Fresh Welsh lamb chops and Grilled Monkfish tail with crayfish, all served on very hot plates with delicious side vegetables.<\/p>\n

Just to put the restaurant to the test \u2013 we ordered a selection of fine deserts. My Cr\u00e8me Brulee arrived in a refined layer of crusty caramel glazing, while the underneath custard was complimented with countless fresh vanilla pods. These natural flavours were well presented and they spoke for themselves, all without the typical overpowering sugary taste that we found elsewhere.<\/p>\n

After the dinner, we had the honour to speak to the chef, Eric. He spoke passionately of his past experiences and\u00a0trainings in different establishments, and his continuous effort to bring his restaurants to match his clients\u2019 expectation. It is exhilarating to know that he and his wife, Beb, are producing their\u00a0best for the diners to sample. They fully deserve their accreditations and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
