Happy Burns Night everyone! Not a celebration I usually take part in, but after trying @oeuf.cafe Burns Night menu, it’s definitely one I’ll be celebrating going forward. This menu is only available today, so make sure you head down if this looks like your kind of thing
We started with the two special drinks, the ‘Cranachan Flip’ cocktail, made with Scotch whisky, raspberry, cream, oat syrup and nutmeg. Super smooth, beautifully balanced, really tasty and it looked gorgeous too. Alongside this was the ‘Heather Honey Latte’ which had such a lovely flavour. I’m a massive fan of the Scottish produced honey used, wonderfully created
For food, we tried the seriously tasty ‘Tattie Scones’ featuring smoked haddock, scrambled eggs, oats, a herb crunch and a creamy mustard sauce. A really great combination with perfectly cooked eggs, definitely a different dish, but full of flavour. We also had the ‘Haggis Bonbons’ with a whisky dipping sauce. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about these, but wow, I couldn’t get enough. So tasty with a great crunch, perfectly seasoned haggis and a sauce that complemented it beautifully. I could have eaten these all day and really hope they make a comeback after this menu finishes. But the real showstopper for me (and I think you’ll agree) was the outstanding ‘Tempura Mars Bar Pancakes’. Every bit as good as they look. The oozing chocolate and caramel sauce was unreal, finished with whisky Chantilly and an Oat Chocolate Tuile. Truly outstanding. It was also the first deep fried Mars bar I’ve ever had, now I get the hype and I’m already looking forward to the next one
Oeuf have smashed it once again with their incredible innovation and outrageously clever ideas, all executed to perfection and tasting amazing. A not so secret Hove gem that just keeps getting better and better!
