BRASSERIE BLANC

The cullinary French wizard Raymond Blanc's gift to the UK is his award winning restaurants. His books include 'Cooking For Friends', 'A Blanc Christmas', the Sunday Times bestseller 'Recipes from Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons', 'Blanc Vite' and his most recent book, 'Foolproof French Cookery'.
The Brasserie Blanc menu is full of gourmet pleasures carefully thought about. When you book, or even if you are lucky enough to get a table as a walk in request the gluten free menu. On both occasions in Birmingham and Cheltenham I had the Onion Soup followed by the Steamed Loch Fyne Mussels in White Wine (no cream for me) and then to finish Lemon Sorbet - again gluten free. I have visited the web site and the Onion Soup isn't on the menu for the moment. It was absolutely beautiful and I should have had this as my main. Eyes too big for the stomach.
Brasserie Blonc takes late bookings too, which is perfectly suited for taking in a live show and then dinner. My Birmingham birthday evening was with Andre Bocelli and then our late dinner and with a lot of Bollinger.
