I couldn’t use Ravel’s Boléro for reasons of copyright - see previous post. The climax remains.

I recently revisited the Wild Mushroom Risotto starter at Hamiltons On Babbacombe Downs. Chef Boyd had told me he’d improved the recipe - it was very good on my first encounter and the soft poached egg was a show stopper.

This time round, it was immediately evident from the aroma that Chef Boyd had coaxed deeper earthy notes from the mushrooms, richer in umami goodness on the tongue and with a hearty, creamy texture in the rice. The texture sensation was heightened by the Parmesan crisp and of course, the perfectly soft poached egg, which I couldn’t help marvel at as it burst beneath my spoon, right on cue to Ravel’s Boléro which had climaxed in my head.

Encore!

Who serves the best Fish & Chips on the bay? Here is the best that I can remember. Fried to perfection and with some delicious crushed peas and tartare sauce. And there’s a selection of some seriously good wine if you really want to spoil yourself.
Highly recommended: HamiltonsTorquay

I return to Ben’s Wine & Tapas frequently when I’m visiting Totnes. Their lovely sharing platters and excellent wine selection are a perfect accompaniment to an afternoon catch up with friends. We’ll talk for hours while we work our way through the menu. It’s super friendly, too, and we often find ourselves in conversation with several other tables - this largely thanks to the warm atmosphere created by the team at Ben’s.

Great attention to detail is always a promising sign when starting a meal. Seeing that the chefs have caught the colour just right, turned a leaf with intention or selected a micro herb and carefully placed it to draw your attention to a point in the dish is not just pleasing to the eye, it is likely to reflect on the palate. And it did. And this is why we return time and again.

Pork Belly starter.

Burgers with passion and imagination. Seriously good burgers. No, REALLY good burgers. Check out meat59 for current menu (always inspiring) and locations. I went to their branch at 59 Abbey Road, Torquay.

After a long walk on the coastal path I settled by the harbour for a simple brunch and a wee dram to kickstart my working day.

The Lighthouse cafe/bar has an honest and well priced menu and welcoming staff, the harbour is just across the road. Find them at 23 Victoria Parade, Torquay TQ1 2BD.

My sizzling rump steak was perfectly chargrilled medium rare and very tender and is excellent value at just under £10 with sides included.

The beer garden is large and very pretty with lots of flower beds and there’s a stunning view of the south west coastline that goes on for many tens of miles - I spotted Portland, Weymouth, about 80 miles away!

The Babbacombe Inn is well worth your attention. Try in the afternoon for maximum pleasure - they serve all day.

Hamiltons Club has two offerings - a stylish fine dining a la carte restaurant and a relaxed bar and terrace with an equally eye catching and delicious menu (video is from the bar menu).

You’re made very welcome for morning coffee or afternoon/evening drinks only, if you’re not hungry, and there’s also live music on Fridays and Sundays. The location is stunning. Pay a visit whatever your preference. Booking advised for the a la carte experience.

It’s thirsty work sitting in a beer garden on Babbacombe Downs with the sun beating down on my greedy head. Relief came thanks to
Just look at that! Every bubble a dragon slayer.

Tasting every bit as good as it looks, this is food for serious foodies and for special occasions, or weekly treats. You decide. Baked White Chocolate Cheesecake with strawberry amaretto, toasted almonds & strawberry ice cream.
