So another Friday night looms and the big question on my mind is – where to go for dinner tonight?
Having heard through the grapevine that Sir Terence Conran’s restaurant The Boundary is the new hottest place to eat, that’s where I headed. Situated behind Shoreditch House and a ten minute walk from Liverpool Street Station I found myself in a lift being taken to the basement of the former Victorian warehouse. Stepping out into the dining room I take in my surroundings – seductive lighting, vaulted ceilings and bare brick walls contrasting with the streamlined seating…i am ready to see if the menu is as exceptionally delicious as the décor…
Taking on a classical French feel, the menu offers such delights as rotisserie, game, crab and langoustines. Being a vegetarian I was most intrigued to see what was on offer – though not extensive, there’s some delicious sounding choices. I was looking forward to indulging in my chosen culinary delights, now my appetite has been suitably whetted! Then it comes down to ordering the wine. Having recently become a recent ‘wino’, coupled with my new found passion for the grape variety Riesling from the Alsace, I was pleased to see the choice was vast. With everything ordered all I had to do was wait whilst busy waiters kept me supplied with beautiful bread and deliciously salty butter.
The food certainly lived up to my expectations and was beautifully complemented by the fine wine. Having thought hunger had been satiated, out of the corner of my eye I see the most extravagant cheese trolley I have ever come across, my eyes suddenly widen and I wonder “are they really too big for my belly…?”
