The Real Patisserie, Brighton.

For those of you unfortunate enough to not reside in Brighton prepared to be jealous and I mean very jealous, I don't want to fall out over this but you have to know of it's existence. I am talking about 'The Real Patisserie' one of the finest Artisan bakeries I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. They are an independent company that uses traditional French methods for making bread, cakes, quiches, patisserie, sandwiches and everything is made on site by there largely French team of fabulous staff.
My lovely Mum would always get a box of cakes and patisserie from them for our Birthdays (as well as making us a cake of course!) and sometimes as a treat we would eat there almond croissants for a weekend breakfast,yummmmm.



They do open sandwiches 'Tartines' which are made using there rather famous chewy brown bread cut into long slices, I had chicken liver pate, cornichons and green peppercorns while Mercer had palma ham, artichokes, rocket and olive oil.
I didn't get a chance to take any photo's so I have used some of the website and other method's so you can see what the fuss is all about!


This is the 'Tartine' that Mercer had.


Here is just a tiny selection of the cakes and patisserie they do.

If you ever come to visit Brighton and fancy a spot of lunch then I highly recommend 'The Real Patisserie' as tasting is believing!

Sunday Roast Beef and The Coach House

Oh how I love a good Sunday roast and this Sunday's was particularly good as we had my favourite roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings including a very yummy cauliflower cheese and home-made red wine gravy but alas I forgot to take a picture until it was just to late and the whole lot had been scoffed and I am
still not in possession of the camera I was going to borrow off my Brother over dinner with our Mum so it may have not been the best photo anyway. But we
did have a great dinner with our lovely Mum at 'The Coach House' on Middle Street in Brighton where we had a great meal starting off by sharing scallop's with parsnip puree, pistachio dust and vegetable crisps which was absolutely heavenly and I could have easily eaten it twice over again!
For our mains my brother ordered the rib eye steak with peppercorn sauce and chips, my Mum had roast mackerel and I ordered the beef pie but unfortunately they had run out so I copied my Brother and had steak to that was cooked perfectly to medium rare and last but not least my Mum had home made Cinnamon ice cream which was some of the best ice cream I have ever tasted and me and my Brother went for caramelised banana with roasted marshmallow, chocolate ganache and vanilla ice cream, all very yummy indeed and i would highly recommend them not just for the food but for the lovely atmosphere and service to.
