Jill has been so lovely to me over the last six years or so at work that I thought it would be nice to take hert our to a nice lunch before she leaves the team. I know she appreciates good food, not just the stuff you can get in our local pubs, so we headed over to Babylon Roof Gardens. Conveniently only bus ride away. It was nice to have the time away from the office and engage in chit chat that wasn’t work related!
Food at Babylon Roof Gardens continues to quite stunning if I do say so. I had a divine Pea Soup which really suited the cooler temperature we were having today, followed by a gigantic portion of a Roasted Pork Cutlet on a bed of apple and sorrel risotto. So filling Craig’s and Jill’s Salmon and Liver respectively were gigantic too. And all very good. Topping out a trifecta our desserts looked and tasted fab. The green tea and strawberry swiss roll worked particularly well.
It was a shame that it was absolutely tipping it down outside and there was a function downstairs so we couldn’t see the pink flamingoes close-up. I was, however, amazed at how busy the restaurant was. First of all it was the middle of the day! And second of all the weather really was terrible – I thought it would keep people away!
