A
restaurant that I have visited a couple of times over the last few months situated
at the top of the National Football Museum but not gotten round to writing
up. It’s a shame that it has turned into
a tribute post and a farewell to Kaleido as they have closed down. Although I’ve since read that they may be re-launching
after the summer season.
Over
a few visits I tried the following:
Seared
scallops with artichoke veloute, truffle & pancetta. This was a lovely
dish, one of the best scallop starters I have had. The pancetta was extremely
crisp and the sauce was scrumptious.
8oz 21
day ‘dry’ aged sirloin steak, which came medium rare as I asked for and was
presented on a board with half a bulb of garlic, café de Paris butter, triple
cooked chips and a token side salad. Unfortunately the chips were really tough
to cut or bite into, I love chips but these ones did not do it for me.
Whole
lobster poached and grilled, again with a café de Paris butter, salad and
mashed potato. The lobster was slightly watery as it just tasted like it was
just poached, I prefer lobster to be grilled.
A few of
the dishes which my friends ordered:
Caramelised duck breast, sweet potato, spiced aubergine and piquant jus
MSC
certified crispy cod, mushy peas, triple cooked chips
Fleetwood
Sea bass, saffron, chorizo, mussels, salsify, parsley, a nicely presented dish!
A
selection of our desserts included:
Warm apple & almond cake, toasted almond ice cream
Banana baked Alaska, miso tar, very interesting presentation!
I was
looking forward to go back and taste their new menu; but I guess we just have
to wait to hear what plans Kaleido have next. For now, I wish everyone at
Kaleido good luck with your future plans!
