Last\u00a0Post for the Foliage<\/a>, not\u00a0last post for No Expert <\/a>– we are still going strong.\u00a0 The Foliage at the Mandarin Oriental<\/a> however had a farewell lunch service today. It was lovely to be there but tinged with sadness, as it marked the end of an era for us.<\/p>\n

The team pulled out all the stops.\u00a0 We started with a complimentary glass of\u00a0superb\u00a0champagne and some very tasty canapes. This was followed by the amuse bouche.\u00a0 We then had the opportunity to go off menu to choose some of the dishes. One of the standouts being the\u00a0Sea Diver Scallops\u00a0with chicken and mushrooms.\u00a0 It was also impossible not to order our last gnocchi, one of the Foliages sublime dishes.\u00a0 For main course we choose the lamb and an off menu beef dish, the wine selection chosen to go with this was absolutely stunning. Indeed all the wines selections were off a very high standard.\u00a0 I especially enjoyed the\u00a0Trocken Beerenauslese, Nittaus, 2004 dessert wine.<\/p>\n
