Lunch at Fait Maison, Gloucester Road

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

A couple of weeks ago, I visited Fait Maison for a late lunch. I'd previously been in the area and noticed the beautiful flowers in the shape of a heart and the tables outside with flowers and teacups. Fait Maison is a French restaurant with a twist using middle eastern flavours and cuisine. They have a large selection of pastries and also serve afternoon tea. The design is inspired by vintage French with beautiful floral displays.

I had the penne salsa rose for lunch. This is a pasta dish with chicken and sautéed mushrooms in a tomato sauce. The dish was very good but a little bit too large for a lunch dish. I would have preferred it to be half the size as it was and have more chicken in it. However, it was very tasty.

The flowers and decor is beautiful though, don't you think?

And, I had the coconut and pistachio cake and the chocolate heart cake. They tasted as amazing as they look, but the clear winner for me was the coconut and pistachio cake. I also had hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was okay, but it wasn't very rich.

I hope to visit Fait Maison again so that I can try their afternoon tea.
