Yet another restaurant review, I'm afraid. Went to Simpsons in Edgbaston (currently the only holder of a Michelin rosette in Birmingham) last Wednesday for an unusually splendid meal. Ravioli of foie gras, duo of beef and blackberry & apple crumble soufflé + all the little bits that come for 'free'.
The service and food are outstanding, but the wine list (a book an inch thick!) really is far too expensive (bearing in mind that I like expensive wine). For e.g. a bottle of the Reserve de la Comtesse 1997 is on sale for £68! this is a mark-up of about 300%. Bear in mind that this is also one of the cheapest Bordeaux wines on the list.
Nevertheless, a good evening.
