Celebrations! :) Perfect results! Perfect meal in Skylon!

So we received the results for university and the final marks are great for this term as well! I finished my first year with two upper seconds and four first classes. Still unbelievable, but I must believe it :)

After these great marks and given that Evening Standard collaborated with many restaurants from the D&D group, offering lunches and dinners for pennies compared to their real price ranges. Some of my friends and me decided to check out one of these restaurants as the offer constructions are really tempting. In normal circumstances these dinners would probably cost a fortune, but now they are offering a generous 15£, 20£ for two courses and a glass of wine or 25£ and 30£ and a glass of bubbly in beautiful environment and with food created by talented chefs and decorated in a way that it fulfills all your senses!

So George, Michal and Andreas joined me on this evening and we tried the menu which was created and put together specifically for this one tasteful month. Our chosen restaurant was Skylon as George had memories from his first job here in London, that they were suppliers for this restaurant. I have been there before for cocktails and I know that it is a decadent venue in the Royal Festical Hall. We had three courses and they were all nice and tasty, although the boys were a little bit confused about the portions. But come on...this is fine dining, it is not going to be as huge as what we are used to served in Hungarian or Portuguese restaurants, hihi.

So for started I chose the Ham hock ballotine, which was fantastic. Really harmonised flavours which was a treat for my tastebuds :) My main the sea trout with aubergine caviar was perfect too. My only issue was with the almond ice cream from the dessert which was Cherry clafoutis with almond ice cream...well the ice cream tasted very weird, but I guess it's because it just wasn't that sugary marzipan kind of almond taste, but a natural clean unsweetened one.

Our waiter was very helpful with any questions or recommendation and last but not least was also such a cutie :) the only hindrance is that we could not sit next to the windows enjoying the view over the Thames.

Personally I had a good experience and I think this offer is just great if you are a gourmet or eve if you are not :)

P.S. Although these pics were taken before my iPhone broke, but in the morning rush I forgot to pack my camera, so all the pics were taken using only mobile phones.
