food Island Life - April/May 2010 nice, however I have to confess I tried the hard black pudding but I was unfortunately not converted. What I really liked was the garden pea and fresh mint risotto it was so unusual but it was food heaven. So far I have sampled a starter a main course now it was time for dessert. Adam insisted that I tried the Pink Praline Tart, now looking at the photo (Left) you would think 'sweet and sickly' which is not my ideal dessert. Adam explained the dish to me," this dish is really unusual as the praline nuts are covered in a pink secret coating which was developed by a french patisserie chef from Lyon. The nuts are very expensive. The flavour is amazing, you'll find although it looks sweet it's not at all, it's a real favourite with diners." Spring lamb,with black pudding Adam is continuously creating new dishes which is keeping the menu fresh and alive, if you visit Goodman's Bistro you will experience new and exciting flavours cooked to perfection. Prices on the menu are reasonable, not expensive £20-25 per head should see you through. There is a well knit team of staff who really go out their way to ensure you have a pleasant experience. I would say it's a must try! See our ad on page 143.
