Support your neighbourhood elaborate restaurant

[fivemack]

Alimentum, opposite the cinema just after the perpetually-roadworked bridge on Hills Road, have a pudding made out of marshmallows, honeycomb, toffee, banana icecream and caramel mousse, served in a smoke-filled preserving jar. It tastes of bonfire night with bananas.

I convinced the Geek Pizza People to be Geek Elaborate-Restaurant People this week, and a good time and fantastic food seems to have been had by all. Maybe leave a few weeks to recover from the shock of the new, then propose sushi.

I've been to Alimentum a couple of times, and yeah, the veggie option tends to be less exciting than the meat. If you take the prix fixe menu (which is vaguely affordable!) the veggie option will probably be soup followed by risotto or similar. Very good soup and risotto, but still, doing a simple thing well rather than something exotic. Their desserts are out of this world, though. OK, I have a sweet tooth, but I do find that a lot of grand restaurants don't have desserts up to the quality of their mains. Alimentum serves stuff miles better than any other dessert I've tasted.

I wonder if this dessert was vegetarian? Marshmallows are variable in this respect.

I should probably find time to go to some vegetarian restaurants when in London, really.
