Martin Wishart at Cameron House on Loch Lomond was excellent. Here is the view down to the loch from Conic Hill:
First, apologies for the pics, it was low lighting and I obvs didn't want to use a flash. The missus had the brighter side of the table. Here is the eight course tasting menu with wine flight hand-written on:
Started with a couple of canapes that I didn't snap, a beetroot meringue with horseradish cream and a seafood crisp with crab and avocado. Both delish. Moved on to the first amuse bouches, tuna and seaweed cornet, and a cheese and onion bon bon:
Second amuse bouche, raw scallop in truffle and soy sauce, OMG OMG OMG omnomnomnom:
Next, the courses. Mackerel:
Confit salmon, delicate and wonderful:
Foie gras, came with toasted brioche (not in pic) omnomnom:
Cod OMG OMG OMG:
Really tasty sweetbread came with wonderful Sangiovese (from Emiglia Romana !!):
Wagyu beef, really fantastic taste but weird texture (smoked eel was punching flavour everywhere):
Strawbs and fennel with white choc:
Cherry and chocolate, sorry about the cutlery but I just dived in and the missus reminded me to take a pic:
Final amuse bouches, pistachio maccaron with raspberyr sauce, salted caramel bon bon, whisky gel profiteroles:
The flavours were surprising and often delicate but well-matched. The wine pairings were sensational. Very expensive but absolutely worth a try if you can afford it.
