Brawn to run

Went for diner with some old friends last night at Brawn, in Columbia Road - definitely worth a trip.

I'd recommend the mixed selection of charcuterie to start 

and choose something light for main course so that you can have the panna cotta with griottines for desert.


Had not had Griottine cherries before - Griottines^® are made using a very special type of Morello cherry, the Oblachinska cherry found only in the Balkans. To conserve the unique flavour and physical characteristics of the fruit, the first maceration of the cherries in liqueur takes place within six hours of picking. After rigorous sorting, grading and de-stoning, the Morello cherries are then steeped in different liqueurs for successive macerations based on age-old know-how and secrets. The last maceration provides the final touch of Kirsch which is the hallmark of Griottines, or as a wonderfully harmonious alternative, Cointreau.

Look out for the tables and chairs and the very expensive cutlery ...
