lunch @ O.MY

Today we had an amazing lunch at O.MY in Beaconsfield. It was an eight course degustation with matching wines. Private dinning room looking out to the kitchen garden, wonderful service and great foodie friends to share it all with, we were in for a treat. Our lunch commenced with a glass of Domonique Portet Brut Rose.

In between all that we had some house made sourdough breads, a plain, a rye and a fig and walnut accompanied by house made butter. Approximately 90% of the fresh produce comes from the gardens. They have their own bee hives and an amazing passion. Three young brothers doing some amazing food. Highly recommended for a special occasions. Special thank you to Chayse who looked after us so well.
