24 St Georges

Today was our anniversary so let me tell you about our visit to this gem of a restaurant in Kemp Town.

24 St Georges has been on the list to visit for a long time and has rave reviews on trip advisor and blogs in Brighton.

We arrived after a quick drink in the Ginger Dog pub and took our seats.

Claire was looking excited to try this place.
 We ordered cocktails and perused the menu
I had the Al Capone - Bourbon, Amaretto and Cranberry
Claire had the Elderberry Fizz and some olives to snack on

We decided to go for the Menu Du Jour - 2 or 3 of the highlighted courses for £19.95 or £22.95.
 But first they served us amuse-bouche
One was beetroot and horseradish macaroon with goats cheese and walnut bread and the other a Rabbit dish(I cant remember as I was eager to eat it!). Both were fantastic and a lovely touch to start.
For starter we had the Sussex Smokie - Smoked Haddock, sussex cheddar morney, leeks and crispy egg. The flavours were amazing as were the textures of the dish.
 For main we had the Seabass with squashes, spiced cauliflower, spinach, apple and celeriac fondant with a vanilla foam.
Everything about this dish was great and the ingredients complimented each other well. I particularly liked the spiced cauliflower.
 For dessert we had the Lady Grey - Lady Grey cake, ginger panna cotta,poached rhubarb and walnut ice cream
Wow the ginger panna cotta was to die for. Absolutely delicious!
 Claire had the Chocolate brownie with a lovely surprise from the Kitchen!
Chocolate Brownie, pistacho custard, figs and fig ice cream. This was another incredible dish.
We finished off with Cappucino's and home-made truffles.

All in all 24 St Georges was a 5* experience. Fantastic venue, excellent waiter service and first class food at amazing value for £22.95.
I'm sorry 24 St Georges that it's taken so long to visit but will definitely be back very soon and cannot recommend them enough.
They certainly should have been winners on the Brighton food awards list.
