I was so taken aback by the high quality of food at Glen Carlou - from the interesting flavours right through to its presentation. I don't believe that I have ever had a shoulder of lamb that tender or delicious, and the creme brulee was sublime. I was also thrilled to discover their fantastic wines when my meal was served two different types to compliment the courses - both of which I then bought! Thank you chefs and staff :-*

Our meals were supurb... especially my pork belly! The views stunning, and fireplace inviting. All of the staff were excellent. And the complimentary wine tasting was really an added bonus in helping to decide what wine to choose with our courses....though we ended up choosing the same as were the suggested pairings...

Our meals were supurb... especially my pork belly! The views stunning, and fireplace inviting. All of the staff were excellent. And the complimentary wine tasting was really an added bonus in helping to decide what wine to choose with our courses....though we ended up choosing the same as were the suggested pairings on the menu anyway. Very glad I made the extra Restaurant Week Winner's Edition booking and did not miss out on this fabulous dining experience.

As a couple we went for lunch.
On arrival we were given a choice to sit outside. The weather was excellent and we could take advantage of the exceptional view of the autumn leaves on the vines, just beautiful.
I had the pork belly and my partner the lamb.
Both dishes was perfectly prepared, presented and paired...

I had the pork belly and my partner the lamb.
Both dishes was perfectly prepared, presented and paired.
I had the crèmebrule for desert of which the taste and especially the texture was just perfect.
The service was unintrusive, knowledgeable and attentive.
Overall a very enjoyable experience.
